heady

Now that I've started playing around with my own lemmy instance I guess it's fitting for possibly my last beehaw post to reflect my first.

I see discord’s business model is still burning cash trying to be the next ~~slack steam zoom reddit~~ patreon

Scan QR for price is the same as "call for quote".. if you feel the need to conceal your prices then they are obviously not good, I won't waste my time confirming the obvious and simply go elsewhere.

AP does push the data load onto volunteers (the operators of servers) but those volunteers gain some autonomy in doing so. The important part of that quoted segment is that bluesky has distributed the costs but not the authority, in other words taxation without representation.

I will dm you an invite.

Beehaw has more or less superseded tildes though.

White

Real question is what colour is the port gonna be.

My post is in fact based directly on the Mastodon developer's public statements to this effect

If the vast majority of people believed the earth is called gazorp that would absolutely suddenly make it so.

Ludum Dare has a 21 day category this time.

You can nominally self host it but outside of the web interface the apps can't even connect to selfhosted servers and I was shot down when I suggested that it should be able to.

These apps are being developed specifically as means of onboarding new users to mastodon from the app store ecosystem's "foot traffic". It makes sense for them to want a limited pool of users for beta to ensure the apps are well polished before the intended audience of less technically inclined people unfamiliar with mastodon use them. How you obtain the pool of beta testers is probably not overly important, using an invite system for example would probably result in largely the same group of insiders who are likely to be patreon supporters having access anyway.
