do you have good reads on snap, flatpak, AppImage etc? In order to become more familiar with these things

I would like to announce a public server running #brutaldon: brutaldon.online/

Brutaldon is a brutalist, Web 1.0 web interface for Mastodon. You can use it as a client for any instance. Currently you do not need a separate brutaldon account. It is compatible with almost any web browser, including text-mode browsers like lynx, w3m, or eww.

Screenshots, issues tracker, and source code are available at github.com/jfmcbrayer/brutaldo.

Have fun!

I think having more forks would take a lot of pressure from me, I need to find ways to highlight and promote them.

during the tag jubilee everyone loses their friends and followers as well

hm so I'm experiencing a semi-serious/annoying bug in Kubuntu 18.04: every once in a while one of my two monitors goes dark? My solution so far has been to unplug the external monitor and plug it back in.

Alternative #Mastodon frontends:
* Halcyon
* Pinafore
* Brutaldon

Are there any others that people are aware of?

Don't forget, that if you're testing out #PixelFed today, you can help out via their GitHub if you find bugs, or obvious missing features that don't seem to be on the "to-do" list, etc.

Keep in mind, alpha stage, so there is a lot missing atm, so may not _everything_ needs an issue made.

Just signed up for @pixelfed #pixelfed, the federated image sharing service, and it's phenomenal! Lots of unimplemented features, but the core functionality works, the interface is clean, functional, and beautiful, and I'm already finding tons of interesting accounts.

Definitely going to replace #instagram for me.

#Pixelfed, the ethical alternative to #Instagram, has started its beta testing and looks nice 😎

You can get the latest news on the beta and upcoming #federation by following @pixelfed

Apparently the first PixelFed cat photo was posted by @mike at pixelfed.social/bremensaki
