@dansup Thanks, I’m on board. Ready to explore the non- mastodon #fediverse !

@Gargron Congratulations! Both with your birthday, as working on a worthy cause! 🎂

@Gargron Take care of yourself! Most of us accept a gradual growth over an overworked owner/admin 😇

@dansup Looking forward to an iOS release version! Was tempted to try the beta but have neither time or energy to properly test…

@dansup Yikes, starting a #PixelFed profile was on my holidays to-do list… oh, well 🤷‍♂️

@EU_Commission Would have been great if this were announced earlier- have I missed something?

@EU_Commission Wise words - now for some wise actions. Where are -for example- Spain’s Patriots?

@EU_Commission Better also label them as “Chinese environmental and labour law disaster” and make sure European companies that *do* keep to the law are not unfairly disadvantaged

@EU_Commission Quite ironic to name it after a city that is neither in the EU, nor under a very democratic regime

@dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon It’s more a sign-up than a sign-in with Mastodon, right? Any benefits /use-cases for existing pixelfed accounts?

@dansup Aviate, navigate, communicate - what goes for aviation goes for software releases I guess!

@dansup @pixelfed Are those posts that are hashtag bombing? Lots of ‘m?

@dansup Not an instance host, but if I were I’d treat them as any other instance - by my instance’s federation rules.

It’d be interesting to know (and part of decision) if they’d support migrating off their instance, whether they push their own client (lock-in?) and if, where and how algo is implemented.

That said, I am hoping (and will advocate) that anyone in journalism, activism or who in general do not need corporate censorship or algorithms to avoid such instance as the plague.

@feditips Aaaaand an unfollow

@dansup Take it from this long time (prehistoric) CS graduate - the paper is neither a shield against imposter syndrome, nor is it necessary for teaching (yourself) programming. So many great resources these days!

The proof is in the work, and you’ve made yourself a great platform and community!

@Gargron Well, congratulations to the both of you. Glad to see you’re having a life!

@feditips If there’s a way to fetch these from a post’s origin server that would be great for reading. Having a list of your server’s supported emoji while composing too 😇 (doesn’t have to be, even rather not, a custom keyboard - would like to see the difference from unicode ones)
@ivory @mammoth @MonaApp @IceCubesApp

@dansup It’s nice to know who’s behind the software that makes up the ‘verse. Really!
