Today - with the Fedi seeing about 4,000 to 4,600 new registered users PER HOUR, and with the #RedditMigration seeing thousands of new users today, after killing off the #Apollo app - it seemed important to write up a report to users of this server... TL/dr - lots of new users today, tons of new activity and 100% uptime. This feels like day 1 of a multi-day wave. We will see.

If you want to introduce less technically-inclined friends to the fediverse, don’t overload them with information about how the fediverse works.

Simply tell them to find a community they like, or better yet, if you know what they’re into find an appropriate instance for them, and also tell them not to worry about anything else. The way fediverse works is better shown rather than explained.

For example, I recommended squawk.social to a friend of mine with a birdsona, and he said he’ll consider signing up.

Kolektiva just got all their info taken by the FBI because one of their admins had an **unencrypted hard drive** of virtually all user info in their home, which was seized when their home got raided. There's, stupid, there's retarded, theres fucking retarded, and then there's whatever this is.

Big Tech killing itself is mostly likely just a psy-op. It's all too good to be true.

So Elon may have actually just killed twitter for reakll. New policy is you can only get served 600 tweets a day (to view) if you don't pay for verification, and 6000 if you do. That's like 30-60 minutes of scrolling. Also you have to be logged in to view public profiles so nitter is completely fucked

Basically the site is literally unusable

It appears like one of the last resorts of accessing #twitter without having an account has stopped working now. #Nitter had been a fairly useful tool, at least for me to quickly find stuff on twitter. Now it has stopped working for almost a day and this github issue indicates that it probably is gonna be the case going forward.

Another reason for people to look at moving off from the birdsite on to #fediverse.

ATTENTION FEDI/MASTO-NUDISTS!!!

I do not care what you do with your life and what you post on here, but whatever you do, MARK YOUR NUDES AS NSFW, YOU DEGENERATE FUCKS!!!

Non-sexualized nudity is still disgusting and people do not want to see it.

As Florida’s permit less carry law takes effect today, it’s a good time to remind everyone of all the gun control Donald Trump pushed as POTUS.

In the deepest sense, the American Revolution was a conscious majority revolution on behalf of libertarianism and against power, a libertarian ideology that stressed the conjoined rights of "Liberty and Property."

Now, I'm a certified C++ programmer. I got some cash to burn so I'll try to see how many more I could do. I'll probably do the JS frameworks (jQuery, Angular, etc) because that's what keeps on appearing in job requirements. I don't get why W3Schools prices them the same as vanilla JavaScript though.

HEY #PAYPAL USERS! WATCH OUT!

On the web interface PayPal just introduced a new dark pattern #enshittification to the transfer-balance-to-bank-account process to trick the user into electing the premium and quite expensive "immediate transfer" option, instead of choosing the free 1-3 day option.

When you initiate a transfer, this is now what shows up:

I literally passed a JavaScript exam without studying, now I'm a certified JS developer.

Seriously, if these IT certs end up getting me hired better than my CS degree, I'm going to be both happy and pissed at the same time.
