Seems that both Lowes and Home Depot are hiring right now.
The jobs are part-time, but there are several young folks in the #Fediverse who could really use some work experience. (For one thing, once you’re paying your own way and a contributing member of our society, a lot of the political opinions you once held become invalidated.)
I’d consider it myself, but unless I’m completely replacing my current $EMPLOYER, I have to seek their permission before I accept any other job. (They call that an “ethics” rule, but it serves to make people more dependent on the agency and less able to make moral / ethical choices.) -

@saintfury That's a sad statement. I see lots of people pursuing their own "protect our community" strategies, and so far, I've never seen a one that will work in the current, heterogeneous Fediverse or any other existing network.
For example, Mastodon restricts its searches to a user's own posts. So people build their own search engines to make it possible to find people and topics.
Some software has broken posting scopes: pretending scope-limited posts are "direct messages" is probably the most dangerous decision made, and "followers only" is only slightly less dangerous. People exchange contact and financial information in posts with the equivalent of a "no trespassing" sign, but there's no fence of any kind.
Finally, the worst "community safety" feature is the propaganda that tells people the #Fediverse is a safe, non-public space without [undesired group]. It isn't and it never has been. Sure, one can set conventions of behavior within their particular subset of instances, but those conventions do not apply to those outside that subset. Frankly, we'd be safer if we assume that everything we post is public, and that features meant to create non-public subsets may not work as expected. -

Thread on #Twitter about the quarantine’s impact on !smallbiz (and therefore, on their owners, managers, employees, suppliers, customers). A lot of people in the #Fediverse don’t seem to understand that when the restaurants close, those employees, who already struggle to stay afloat, are left with nothing. -

So instead of #Klout deciding who is popular, as on #Twitter, #Fediverse people decided that blocklist maintainers would decide? I'd rather let Klout do it. At least everyone knew they were a joke. -

Hey! If you're a #fediverse platform or app, and you have a brand icon, you should think about getting it included in #ForkAwesome!
I say this because #WeDistribute actually uses that icon set in tags and categories. I'm building in theme support for it so that project brands get promoted throughout the site!

My blog (cjslep.com/c/blog) is written on top of go-fed and is on the #fediverse. Not only are blog posts shown as native content (ActivityStreams type "Article") but comments ("Notes") on Mastodon/Pleroma show up on my blog as well.

We've improved our home page a bit, raising the #services we host to a more central role. Go check them out!
Speaking of services, we've recently added #Collabora to our #Nextcloud stack. Collabora allows real-time collaboration on rich-text documents, replacing the need for things like #Google Docs. Our Nextcloud stack is only available for members, but any shared documents can be edited online by guests as well.
If you are interested in membership, check out the memberships page.

Will 2020 be the year the #fediverse finally gets a Groups feature on most platforms?
It'd be a huge feature advantage over platforms like Twitter. -

New essay: Seven theses on the Fediverse and the becoming of FLOSS
Recently, @rra and I have been working on an essay highlighting questions about the #Fediverse and how these are getting entangled with #FLOSS practices. From software production to structure and governance within alternative social media, online communities and politics.
The text follows a multi theses model, to map the different things we've been looking at and publish the current state of our research.
It is the closing chapter of a new publication from INC/Transmediale (https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/the-eternal-network)
PDF of the text: https://monoskop.org/images/c/cc/Mansoux_Aymeric_Abbing_Roel_Roscam_2020_Seven_Theses_on_the_Fediverse_and_the_Becoming_of_FLOSS.pdf
Feedback welcome. We're planning to publish an online version with more references!

Hi, I'm Sean. ??
I'm an emotionally all-over-the-place man-child who is sometimes embarrassed by his own existence. I enjoy getting lost in wistful ideas and crying, although I try not to do it visibly in public too often.
Currently, I'm in the process of joining the military. In the past, I worked in tech and lived in San Francisco. I'm a college dropout who "grew up" in the Midwest.
Some of my passions include creating art, writing poetry and science fiction, and designing 2D adventure games. I have some experience with working in Open Source and have done a handful of interviews regarding my involvement in #Diaspora and the #fediverse. -

Reminder that the original harassers on this network were users of #MastoSoc and the victims were on #SPC and other instances.
Before ads about “no Nazis” brought harassers over from #Twitter and #Tumblr, the #Fediverse simply did not have this. It was get along or ignore (block) the person. -

Just published this little nugget about drama and online communities, and how the #fediverse is both similar and different to the communities that came before it.

I remember when he was in the #Fediverse. I was never sure why he left, but it looks like he still thought about self-hosted socnets after he left. -

To those people that are terrified that #Twitter will adopt #AP and come to the Fediverse and steal all our people back into captivity, there is nothing to worry about. I've been using T again the past few days and:
1. the main interface feels like you're squeezed into a box; there is not enough focus on the actual tweets; it is also slow and bloated.
2. the tweetdeck interface is better, but removing extraneous columns does not make the important one (your main stream) wider. But now I see where Mastodon gets its annoying and confusing million-column interface.
3. my account is non-public and subs are by approval, so I greatly limit my annoyance; or I would if T did not insist on putting tweets of people I don't subscribe to in my stream just because someone I sub subs to them (or likes one of their tweets).
4. I have more to say about T, but I'm going to have to make it a blog post.
5. Dishonorable mention to all the "promoted tweet" ads stuffed in between the real tweets; and also to the "suggested follow" garbage that also appears there. If you're ad-supported, at least put the ads outside the main content.
I'm down to about 200 old tweets, none of which are displayed for me to delete, plus twenty or so new ones. I'd really like to only leave the most recent twenty-five newest. I don't tweet anything of enduring or historic significance, so there's no need for any of them to exist longer than 90-180 days.
Note to #Fediverse devs: That 90-180 day lifetime should be an option in your software.* Not that there is any guarantee that a post that federates to other instances will also be deleted on all those other instances when your own instance deletes it.
* That is, delete in X days unless someone interacts with it or the poster marks it as worth keeping longer. -

Kids can't walk into a store and buy cigarettes.
They can't buy beer.
They can't even vote.
Yet a 9 year old with an iPad can instantly and freely access all manner of literal Japanese school girls in uniform who moaned just like the cartoons and guess what, i didn't do it by posting stupid shit on the #fediverse or browsing mastodon anime posts, i did it by leaving the house. ?♂️?? #anime #hentai #newgab #cringe -

@redneonglow All these anime avatar #mastodon users posting hot anime chicks depress me. If you want a cute Japanese chick go to Japan and get one. Stop jerking off to cartoons and be a fucking man and get a real one.

RE: The article linked in https://mstdn.fr/@ButterflyOfFire/103171203248328739 ( https://www.devporto.com/fediverse-has-a-discovery-problem-and-thats-not-good/ )
I don't think that having a different kind of discovery from #corpocentric networks means that the #Fediverse's discovery mechanisms are wrong. Having been a #Twitter user for over a decade, they don't have the greatest discovery mechanisms either. They try to fill that in with "who to follow" and trending tags suggestions that are almost always wrong, wrong, wrong.
No universal view is a positive feature, not a negative one. If your group is using the tag #abc123 for something in your local scope (your instance and the instances where your contacts are hosted), it doesn't necessarily collide with another group using #abc123 in their own local scope. This can reduce confusion and conflict. It also means that people can post in whatever languages they desire on instances where said language is the majority and not have posts they can read buried under a multitude of other-language posts.
Many existing Mastodon and Pleroma instances have shared announcement servers (that's not the official name, but I can't recall it right now) that collect public and hashtagged posts and distribute among the other instances using that server. So with judicious choosing of announcement servers, the advantages listed above can be spread over a larger subset of instances and users without as many collision issues as a global view would cause.
No, discovery is not perfect. But let me ask you this: How do you discover e-mail addresses of people you wish to contact? Outside of your organization's address list, you can't just search a directory. You have to ask them or people that already know them. That's probably a better solution than plugging "firstname lastname" or "usual_nick" in a search box anyway.
