If your thinking about shutting down your instance (ala witches.town) please contact me first. I don’t mind running additional instances and I’d rather see communities stick around.

I've been working on https://whatdevice.app a bit more lately! It's now a progressive web app, with full offline functionality.

The graphics panel also now shows information about VR headsets, if you have any connected.

GitLab open sourced push mirroring and added it core. This is a great win for #decentralization!!! You can now run your own canonical GitLab instance & easily mirror to GitHub for findability.

As F-Droid goes out of it's way to not only don't track you itself but also prevent others (apps, repo admins, etc.) from tracking you, we didn't need to change anything here. 🎉

My web push notification implementation for Toot! is now finally in a state where it feels ready for use! I have updated the relay service code to support production and development modes, and fixed bugs:

I also published an excerpt of the code used in the client to handle the cryptography:

It is a good starting point for anyone wanting to have their own client receive web pushes from Mastodon.

If anyone wants a more in depth explanation, ask!

The fediverse is probably the most important thing i feel like I'm involved with right now. As we start having these conversations about social media, the fediverse is something I can point to where many kinds of community models are explored outside the almost defacto context of ad-driven services. It feels good to be here. It feels good to know that we have relcalaimed some of the most revolutionary social technology from monolithic exploitation.

actually the thing about mastodon that keeps hitting me is that it's a return to the governance model of the internet of the 90s, which is the "local dictator", with a single admin or a small mod team who are the sole owners and operators of a site. and like, oh right, anybody who's only used, say, twitter and facebook and youtube and tumblr and myspace and so forth and so on would have had absolutely no exposure to, because all major social media platforms online for the past ten years or so have been huge corporate monoliths (or wannabe huge corporate monoliths). getting mad at brad on livejournal was a very different thing than getting mad at jack on twitter or david karp on tumblr, because lj was brad's site in a way that was very different from jack being CEO of twitter
