  2. @[email protected] While I don't believe that 'Gitlab is about to go to shit' it'll certainly change and adapt to the times.
    The pure bets and observations stated in the letter are probably justified for the 10-year period given. We'll see about what happens thereafter. And we'll see about the funky side-effects within the 10-year period.

    In other news: Have I already recommended @forgejo on that matter? It scales from thin-client to @Codeberg, is probably still very organically grown, awesomely self-hostable without the epic ruby-battle that is #Gitlab and generally awesome for very many use cases.

    Also (not sure about the current state of the efforts there): The only SW forge that can do federation with others. Or at least was forked and built with this as a core idea.

  4. @radicle @levitte so it comes down to #peertopeer vs #federation, ey?

    The idea of detaching users from being tied to a node or a repo is great for the autonomy of devs, and that it's built on custom network protocols that don't rely on #IPFS or #DHT is quite cool.

    I'll need to return to this subject, because the idea of giving control to the people rather than large companies is an important issue. But what ways suit what use cases?

    Also, cool alien painting bro 😐👍

  9. …Not least of all because the same company that runs the largest Mastodon instance runs more than one instance (why?)

    But also the moderation policy that allows for the deletion of people’s posts. (Not even limiting the account or suspending it and asking the person who wrote the post to delete it but moderators outright deleting other people’s posts themselves. That sets a very dangerous precedent.)

  14. So I hasn’t realised that Mastodon GmbH (mastodon.social) also runs mastodon.online.

    This is troubling, to say the least.

  18. Wieso wird mir das angezeigt? Keine hashtags, ich folge denen nicht. Gibt's einen Mechanismus, den ich noch nicht kenne?

    Gerne #retoot #boost weil ichs echt verstehen möchte

  19. Kerala has the highest life expectancy, at 77.3 years; and the highest sex ratio – with 1,084 women per 1,000 men – in India.

    "This was achieved by conscious steps to devolve #power. In Kerala there was an effort to make sure government policies in education, health, and other areas were administered equitably by the people themselves, through local governments in every village, instead of by bureaucrats in the state capital."

  20. I'm curious whether anyone on #Mastodon can explain why this post mstd.seungjin.net/@theguardian is appearing in my feed many times over? I follow several Maths/education related #hashtags (via #relays ), and thought at first I was getting one through each #hashtag #relay (1 post each), but when it exceeded that I looked and in fact it only contains one hashtag I follow, so it's the same post over and over again, maybe a dozen times so far. Why is that happenning? #askFedi #federation #activityPub
