pumpkindrama@reddthat.com NodeBB supports topic based following, because it's a forum and that's literally how it was done way back then. You can follow tags as well.

You should come! Canada's a beautiful country and BC in particular is quite nice. The conference is shaping up nicely! I'm hoping to attend and present. It'll be very interesting to see Canadian AP devs and users!

snoopy@jlai.lu personally, since I create AP enabled software I am on the side of votes being public data. We already have enough issues with votes being out of sync with each other. Mixing in private voting is just asking for trouble. Emoji reactions are neat, although niche to those softwares that utilise it. They allow for greater expression which is nice. They're useless for deriving value (for ranking purposes) unless you assign value to them.

Very interesting article! I have immense respect for jerry@infosec.exchange, he was one of the first people I found on the fediverse, and it's no wonder why, he's revered quite highly by others as being a generous and kind admin. I do want to point out one thing, and that is that Mastodon has some design decisions that make it rather resource and storage intensive. There are oodles of lighter software out there, some with even more features than Mastodon, and some with less. For example, snac.bsd.cafe (https://snac.bsd.cafe/) runs on Snac, which is fast as hell. I am going to guess that a not insignificant portion of Jerry's bill is caching assets. Mastodon likes to save everything it encounters, videos, images, avatars, everything... forever (though I imagine this is customisable). Most likely the assets are viewed a handful of times in one day and never seen again... but you'll pay to store it forever!

For what it's worth your blog does show up fine in NodeBB as well. Perhaps you are missing the @context property and so Mastodon is refusing to parse it?

PewDiePie built his fame and fortune on a centralized platform. I am not certain whether he will see the benefit of a decentralized future beyond dollar signs. Happy to be proven wrong.

melroy@kbin.melroy.org oh sorry to hear that hopefully Dan hasn't moved on from FediDB already.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online while this is a known workaround, I don't think it's a tenable long-term solution. You can have "real decentralization" without the quirks, too.
