IRC is still in use by several open source projects, and it can be nice for quick and open public chatting for meeting people,and to ask questions.

I've only used Nitter in the past to read the status of a page of someone on Twitter. Sadly lots of people and organizations are still sitting on their Twitter account :( Some open source projects still use their Twitter account as their main communication tool (VLC being a recent example) to the rest of the world. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39789300 With this Userstyle I could see the timeline of an account today, without needing a Twitter account and it being clutter free.

Quite a story.Respect.And worthy of turning it into a blog post!

But it’s his instance. The whole point is that you run your own if you want a different approach to administration.

You seem to keep looking at this as the admin of your self hosted instance with only you as the only user. With large instances there comes the responsibility of moderation and that is a thing that Gargron has been lacking with years ago. And keeping the door open for new sign-ups while the idea of Federation is to decentralize, and people repeatedly asking you to show new users to other instances but not doing so is just plain horrible imho.

I almost did not care about replying to your comment but let me just share this with all of you. Mastodon can be called a success but quite a few people have not been too happy about the behavior of the Mastodon developer Gargron since years. Not defederating the flagship Mastodon instance which has right now apparently 242K active users from Mark Zuckerberg's product is another nuisance for some. Maybe not for you, but for me it is.

Does not look like it.

A family I know give their kids limited screen time per day on the home laptops. No phones yet.

No, Mastodon Social, the flag-ship has not blocked Facebook's Threads. And Gargron is very happy with that. Imagine being the main developer letting your flagship instance turn into a huge "silo" and then happy that a corporate privacy invading giant federates with your instance :/

Thanks.

In other words: "You want to block Briar? Go ahead and try."

Nice.

Diogenes, hero!

Briar was banned in India ? wow.
