No smoking day 2. Day 1 was not so bad... I got this!!

I'm new here. Anyone interested in #crypto?

Does anyone know what happened to switching.social and the associated Mastodon account?

Just signed up after reading an article on Fediverse in Linux Magazine. So I'm having a go with this. Interests are Python in particular and Linux generally. Working on a wsgi generator framework at https://github.com/bernie-skipole/skipole and using it to (slowly) develop an application to control an amateur robotic telescope. Like to hear if there's any Python types out there. Cheers.

fediverse.space relies on Mastodon's public timeline API, which is getting locked down in future releases.

This is a positive development for security on the fediverse, but it means that this project won't be able to access the information needed for the map of the fediverse.

One potential solution is to use a follow-bot. If a fediverse.space bot followed you, would you block it? (it would respect #nobot, of course).

#rms is still on his old address (some people asked me); it's a #gnu one, not #fsf one. He's reading mail. Send him thoughts if you care about lynch mobs. If they do this to him, they can do this to anyone.

My primarly fear with people calling for rexamination of the values of the Free Software movement is that it will be gutted. It's a truly frightening prospect. The thing that makes Free Software different from "open source" is that it *is* radical, and there is no pretending that Free Software is not a political issue to a certain extend. "Open Source" folks seem to sacrifice a lot for the sake of getting along with evil companies, and I really don't want that to infect libre software.

According to the-federation.info the #fediverse has crossed 3 million registered users (and this is excluding Gab)

@selea Right? None of those are products I have ANY interest in, and I in fact have problems with all three!

I just realized that on September 27 of this year (9 days away) my Freenode IRC username turns 15 years old. Pretty sure its the oldest username i own on the internet.

Do you help run a federated or decentralised service in Europe -- or know someone who does? Please pass this link on. It's the application to meet politicians to discuss how the EU's copyright filters (Article 13/17) will be implemented. I worry about a backroom deal struck between Facebook/Google that excludes the next generation of open Net services: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/organisation-stakeholder-dialogue-application-article-17-directive-copyright-digital-single .. Please speak up!

keep in mind that the GPLv2 is the brain child of eben moglen and the GPLv3 and AGPLv3 are the children of the GPL revision project, which was also lead by moglen -- not RMS. there is no need to boycott GPL over RMS.

I'm Super New to #Mastodon. Curious to learn more! Do i need to Sign up for Each Server? #newbie #help

I like linux so i chose this server. how this works? i can see contents only for this server. do i need to sign up for each server that i want to ?

as a reminder, OStatus support has been deprecated in Pleroma since the 1.0 release. the 1.1 release will continue to support OStatus, but it is very likely that future release series will drop it.
