Anyone have recommendations for non-Mastodon fediverse instances that aren't filled with boring shitposts? I want to explore more communities to find people to follow.

Fuck United and the CPD

I think being written Ruby and JS, rather than PHP, has helped, and will continue to help Mastodon in terms of maintaining an active development community.

Most of my posts for a while will likely be questions and comments about federation. I got into the idea about five years ago, played around with Friendica and Diaspora, but never stuck with it. I'm excited to dive back in and see how it's evolved since then.

On GNU social, you can see an instance's public timeline, while that doesn't seem to be the case with Mastodon. Is that intentional or just yet to be implemented? It seems to me like a good way for people to get a feel for an instance, while instances that want to stay more private could easily turn it off.

Which Mastodon instances do extensive blocking of other fediverse instances?

What ways does Mastodon break federation? I'm trying to better understand the criticisms.

@maiyannah Ignorant Mastodoner here. What exactly is the relationship between pA and GS? Is GS no longer in development? How many GS sites have switched to pA?

My opinion of Your Name's ending has shifted a bit since reading interviews with Makoto Shinkai. Now that I get what he was going for, I want to see it again on those terms.

It would have been so much better without that ending. Successfully saving everyone distracts from the tragedy and the really effective parallel to the tsunami. That movie could've stayed with me, but now I'm just annoyed by the sloppy sentimentality.

It sucks not being able to read everything in my feed, but it's also a valuable, humbling experience as a (currently) monolingual American.

Clinton would not have done most of the horrible things Trump has done so far, but she would have done this. She literally said so today.

Getting excited by the possibilities of a popular federated social network in order to stave off the dread of impending war >>>>>>>
