The buildings full of devs he references all labored over the past two decades to reinvent the same messaging wheel, but w/ a network they owned. Libpurple plugins serve as a graveyard of proprietary chat protocols--failures to capture the market, wasted dev effort.

There's a well-known African proverb: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." What Moxie's centralization talk misses is that the faults in early decentralized protocols came because dotcoms wanted to capture the market.

Fuck you Instagram, hail Pixelfed! #YoMigroaPixelfed

Where is my surprised face?

It takes a village to raise a project.

We'd like to thank you all for joining us on this crazy adventure!

Overheard someone at the Target return counter returning a gift because they thought it was creepy that it listened to them. There's hope. #privacy

Hey Mastodon - so we here are going through a real student movement in India. If you can help tell me:
- alternate domains for email, docs etc
- alternate ways for quick comm during internet shutdown
- ways to protect your identity from online surveillance
- ways to keep yourself away from getting the right wingers attention on Instagram
- what else is needed for a revolution? IDK its my first one.
All help, is going to be rewarded with blessings. This thread will be shared with other protestors.

Okay, which of you wrote “trans rights are human rights” in the dirt on the wall of this tunnel? They also wrote “all cats are beautiful” so I know it was one of you.

I found a website where not even the entire logo is visible through the thicket of ads and privacy notices!

Oh hey! Got my @purism 15 v4 today!

Running some updates and can’t wait to use this.
