anyway if your instance is small and agrees broadly with the principles in our /about/more and you want to contribute development labour to making mastodon better then @ me i guess and we can at least talk about it
we are not interested in taking on additional stakeholders without associated investment of labour, though
like for real though people focus too much on fedi alternatives when: we have mastodon, it is good for some things, lots of people use it, it’s open source, we can do a lot with mastodon
DON’T CONTRIBUTE UPSTREAM
mastodon developed by people who actually understand what the software is good for when 😔
all this talk of mastodon is making me want to fork mastodon 😔
@aescling groups were originally a GNU social feature which used bangtags like !tea, i think working similar to how guppe groups operate now
mastodon staunchly refused to implement them
around the time when pleroma development was really kicking off i remember there were a lot of discussion about alternative ways of thinking of groups, but my understanding is that those discussions never went anywhere because there wasn’t good consensus on how they should be federated or administrated; i know @nightpool@cybre.space was involved in those discussions although i don’t know if they remember / want to say more
anyway this is very interesting because that blog post makes it sound like there is a Plan For Groups and i sure haven’t heard anything… is this being coordinated with other fediverse softwares? was there ever a consensus? am i just out of the loop?
@aescling eugen has opposed groups from day 1 so i am very interested in hearing more about this
@aescling wait “groups”?!?!?!?!!
:P
@aescling i don't actually like the label platformist, but it's a better vernacular descriptor than any of its adjectives; i feel like i’m probably actually closer to especifist thought but that word belongs to a very particular political context
in any case the purpose of having a platform is it means you can tell the labels to take a hike (unlike synthesist anarchism where the label is the only thing binding you together)
sorry synthesists, libertarians, and (with sympathies) communists; mastodon is simply designed for small agile groups with high levels of internal cohesion and collective responsibility
honestly i think i could sum up all of my takes about federation much more simply if i just said “i’m a platformist”
@aescling that's the idea yes
« Object-oriented design (OOD) requires that you shift from thinking of the world as a collection of predefined procedures to modeling the world as a series of messages that pass between objects. » but are the objects themselves not constructed through a collection of predefined procedures? in fact it is the extremes of functional programming (lisps) in which one can encounter truly emergent “objects” and behaviours,
« The world is also object-oriented. » bold fucking claim
Question for those who have been "active" on Mastodon for at least a year
@lapis @noelle mastodon admins can engage in work to support users and build community resilience in ways that one could never find on mainstream social media. obviously not all admins are good, but good admins do exist and having a direct point of contact to raise concerns about the software with is extremely good.
« His computer was old enough that it still had a disk drive built into it. »
« Then again, Link found out that he hated Revali *even more* when he caressed Zelda and then stabbed her twice in the back with a fake knife before slowly and heart breakingly slitting her throat. »
