Hi, we're the .NET Community Team at Microsoft. We help run the blog, live streams, events like .NET Conf, and lots more.
We ❤️ the .NET developer community! We're happy to be here to share news, answer your questions, and... toot? It's called a toot, seriously? I guess toot, then.
Thank you to @styx31 & team for setting up and running this amazing community instance.
I think I have figured out how to fix the issue where bird.makeup accounts get dropped from lists on mastodon ( https://todo.sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/5 )
Can you all try using lists again to check if my change actually fixed it?
If a person says they want to see Mastodon scale to support 100 million users, a lot of Mastodon users will jump on that person's neck. 🤷🏿♂️ They'll be accused of having "VC brain", or being obsessed with hyper growth.
It's not about hyper growth for growth's sake. If you truly believe that Twitter is bad(tm) and Mastodon is good(tm), and that people should leave Twitter, then where exactly do you think those people should go? There's hundreds of millions of them.
Maybe I'll be able to do QT as literal quotes with the rich text support that's coming to Mastodon. Interesting!
Running an experiment and streaming a #dataviz of all the open source collaboration happening LIVE right now on #GitHub. LMK what you think and if this is something you'd like to tune into regularly https://www.twitch.tv/github
Thinking of moving servers to https://hachyderm.io ...
Although I'm generally pro-crypto even if I don't talk about it much here, and I wonder if it's going to get me banned if I move there
Hello Fediverse. Goodbye walled gardens.
Patreon finally allowed me to create a tier below 5$, yay!
Re: Mammoth raising venture capital
That is definitely not the way I want to go with bird.makeup. The end game for me would be to have enough Patreon supporters so that I could have a nice lifestyle business making open source tools for the Fediverse. I have no interest at the growth at all cost mindset.
