When I first created tech.lgbt, Mastodon was only a few months old. I originally set it up on a very small server on 15 April 2017, which would have been v1.1.2. We're on 4.1.2 exactly six years later. Three full major releases in!On a personal note, I've had lots of ups and downs on the fediverse, but I am glad to be able to help make a space for queer folks who like bappy computer thingies. :bowie: :bowie_heart: https://tech.lgbt/@mods/110204979534871855

Oh, and in addition to upgrading the server, we've moved to a new media storage this week, and it already appears to be performing better!We've been reviewing a variety of changes to the instance and have a few new requested features on the way soon!

@rolle it does feel like that to me too. But no, I'm with you: it's overall a good place!

If there was an updated PDA today that was easy to use with a physical keyboard, I'd consider it. Bring back ultraportable keyboard devices!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meaJrLtpZK8

Hell yeah.‘Too greedy’: mass walkout at global science journal over ‘unethical’ feesEntire board resigns over actions of academic publisher whose profit margins outstrip even Google and AmazonMore than 40 leading scientists have resigned en masse from the editorial board of a top science journal in protest at what they describe as the “greed” of publishing giant Elsevier.The entire academic board of the journal Neuroimage, including professors from Oxford University, King’s College London and Cardiff University resigned after Elsevier refused to reduce publication charges.https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/may/07/too-greedy-mass-walkout-at-global-science-journal-over-unethical-fees

I get that this is an acronym, but it really looks like it says, "ONLY Old Navy Loves You"

@seth I'm adding my full Mastodon handle in on tickets for myself and partner #WCUS. Not putting a dead Twitter handle.

@seth @tim considering that wordpress.com dropped Twitter, I don't think that it's bad for the decentralized, democratized platform to embrace alternatives to a terrible platform.

I noticed that the price of a bagel and iced espresso increased because it no longer comes to $6.21 after tax :bowie_wink: :furry_trash:

"we’re taking about the tech, not the people"The following line has been in my bios for years now: "Value people over code."It's weird making so much noise about people choosing to moderate for themselves and saying that it is anti-open, impossible due to tech, against the idea of federation, etc.If defederating was not technically feasible and not compatible with decentralized services, it probably wouldn't be a core part of all fediverse software.Like everything else against marginalized folks, these people think that us existing in our own space is wrong and needs to be stopped, while we aren't trying to stop them from existing how they want to, and just want to be left alone :bowie_sweat:

@Jain@blob.cat yeah, blocking you, I was just getting my report together :blobhaj_sunglasses: I do enjoy that you block an instance specifically for "search engine not respecting user flags" considering your original thread.But that's your response. You don't need to message more to get folks to respond
