My mom's dog, Rizzo, thinks Halloween is juuuuust a little too spooky (because the doorbell rings a lot), so he stays with me tonight where there are fewer trick-or-treaters.

@Telorand @opensource Maybe. But I didn't think there was an actual funkwhale instance at that URL -- I thought it was just the project's website (forums, git repo, etc). I could be wrong, though.

If so, that's an unfortunate way of learning to separate the two, I guess. 😩

@aciDC14 @opensource Not sure what you mean; Funkwhale is a self-hostable application for streaming music. Uses ActivityPub for sharing, too.

v2 was in the planning stages on their forum, but the website has now been down for 2-3 days (that I know of).

@opensource I see that a new whois record was created for the domain name just today. Any chance it expired? 😬 cc @funkwhale @cda

 

Does anyone know the status of #funkwhale? The website (funkwhale.audio) has been down for a couple days now. #fediverse @opensource

@Orygin@sh.itjust.works @TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world Also, if you're looking to get away from AI in your browser, Opera is absolutely not the way to go. The company is run by techbros that will jump on any hype train to gain users. Good summary here: https://www.spacebar.news/stop-using-opera-browser/

@BlinkerFluid @hedge I agree with your overall point: social networks where you subscribe to a community seem to get more replies (and longer replies) than ones where you subscribe a person. They also make it harder for influencers to take off -- anyone's post has a chance of generating discussion. They deemphasize who the OP is.

Mastodon's ability to follow those communities is, IMO, a killer feature that I hope more people discover. (Case in point: I'm posting this from Mastodon right now.)

Plenty of people try to use popular hashtags to promote their unrelated content, but I'm almost impressed that they actually tried to make a segue from "oatmilk" to "my hustle grindset blog."
