@absturztaube ohh haha no! they moved from here to their own instance

@alex

Looking forward to it -- too many people just use it as the easiest way to get a flahsy new mastodon and impress their friends.

(even if Hugo and his staff are doing all the hosting, installation, config and day to day backups, etc).

He's competent, and a valuable service for those less inclined to look under the hood.

But No Glitch-Social or Pleroma instances are offered there, I think.

>> Read their terms of service.

Will do, but I had an inquiry about raising the damned 500 characters max toot limit in one of his instance, and itt was declined.

Too much work to be doing it manually, every time Eugen releases a revised version -- and he insists on burrying this limit in not one, but many locations in various source code files.

At this point, I gave up on mastodon, and moved to Glitch-Social and Pleroma.

@realcaseyrollins @rgx @rgx @design_RG @alex pretty much this.

@waltercool sure, though for those who can it leaves more power to the user themselves, they become the king of their own kingdom.

@mewmew
In other words, I need news and I want to understand what do these news really mean. Since I have the condition, that I must never catch them in an obvious malicious lies or intellectual lazyness, that leaves only a few youtubers left. If I were then to rank them, I cannot think of even five people to beat Tim. (BTW, his enlightened centrism is both his greatest weakness and strength. While I disagree with him, he is a rare combination of an enlightened centrist (TM) and not a totally ignorant idiot.)

@mewmew
He might be bad, but insufferable? Nah, he's still 10 times better then TV news, so you have to consider that.

He also tries to tell the news in the most centrist way he can. The fact that he throws one unsupported assumption after another is not the best way of doing it, but as I said, He's still much better then almost any news comentator.

(btw, I don't like him too much either, but if I were to rank him from all commentators I know of, he still is in top 5)

@rgx @design_RG @rgx @realcaseyrollins Federation is not Free Speech. There are ton of instances close to Soviet Union related to Free Speech.

The best king at your neighborhood is yourself. Host your own Mastodon. Alternatives goes from "rent a server" https://masto.host/ or make your own server with cheap SoC https://github.com/wimvanderbauwhede/limited-systems/wiki/Pleroma-and-Mastodon-on-the-Raspberry-Pi-3
@realcaseyrollins Would be nice, but I think we honestly have a better change building a new platform than convincing them to change.

@realcaseyrollins Point is, if Gab can't handle federation there's no way in hell Parler can. Their site has a history of being a lot buggier than Gab, which is a true accomplishment.
