@twylo I'm giving serious thought to doing this. My concern with twit now is a suspicion that there's a Cambridge Analytica kind of thing planned for 2024.

@ParadeGrotesque @EMR I am altogether too excited to find out about mastodon.el.

@thegibson Well, I dunno, we need to clear up first whether your account refers to a fictional supercomputer or a guitar.

@SDF "Database raid failure" is the tech equivalent of a mechanic telling you that your car's timing belt broke. Q. Q Don't freeze, and wear your earplugs.

@justine @stefano @grunfink I've been tinkering with snac on a private instance, along with other ActivityPub servers like BookWyrm, and snac is much less of a production to set up. I admit to being old school, but I'd expect the setup of a mail server to be harder than a Fedi service. When I first looked at the process to set up a Mastodon server, and I've been in IT a while and set up my share of services, my reaction was, "Are you sh***ing me?"

@carmenbianca At this point, Stallman should probably step down for the good of the community. The controversy is harming the FSF's reputation, and they do have key roles in the community, such as litigating GPL violations. The GNU Public License is ingenious in how it protects software from Capitalistic encroachment, and I'm sure proprietary vendors would be only too happy if people were put off from using GPL offerings.

@rms It's almost like they're trying to kill us.
