Was thinking it would be nice to dedicate some area of the UI to tips about things people might not know about. For example, that you can move your followers to another account, or that you can export/import a lot of stuff. Don't know where I would put it though. Any ideas?

#mastodev

Imma be honest with you chief regardless of the fact that I think mastodon.social *ought* to stay open for reasons I outlined on our official blog I am feeling psychologically overwhelmed by the influx of new people and worried if my architecture will be able to handle it... It's been put to the test by a fair number of overlapping user migrations recently...

We need to spread new people between all the different Mastodon servers but how? I don't even know how people are finding mastodon.social specifically, I sure as hell ain't promoting it anywhere, so there's no switch I can turn to make new people go to a different server.

All I can do is kindly ask that if you are inviting people to Mastodon on other social media, Telegram groups or whatever else, please please use the joinmastodon.org page instead of linking to mastodon.social specifically. Thank you

New landing page design, shipping soon! 🚀 #pixelfed #pixeldev

etc.

so much for my #introduction ... Get in touch!

Zoom adds new security and privacy measures to prevent Zoombombing https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/3/21207643/zoom-security-privacy-zoombombing-passwords-waiting-rooms-default

Heaps of fun making these quick videos too :)

Getting off Google services took me 2.5 years so far and I'm still not done.

Main google things are Android (with Google Pixel) and Google Wifi which I cannot replace because I don't have money to buy new hardware.

Google is so big it's extremely hard to avoid it, even more so for non-techy people.

Consider the sheer cruelty of forcing people to commute to work every day just to park their asses in front of a computer now that it's been conclusively shown that millions of people could've been working from home all along.

i was just asked about #exoscale - i know that a number of you #mastoadmin's migrated to them from wasabi... what is your long- or midterm experience so far? also if you use them for other services.

Looking for Zoom alternatives after reading about their security practices?
