Pluralistic: Don't Be Evil (11 Apr 2026)

OpenCola reminds me of the work I did making my own Club Mate clone, including a delicious sugar free Club Mate clone.
The one thing I never cracked was Club Mate Winter Edition.
Maybe this is worth turning into a project?

@michalzelazny there are several other #Fediverse hosts that are interesting. #GotoSocial has some potential for self hosting without the expenses and hasles associated with Mastdon and #FireFish has a great feature set that goes beyond Mastdon. Naturally, both have issues of their own.
If you want to get really radical, there's also #OpenCola.
My #fediverse usage has hit a milestone: I can now follow folks as intelligent filters!
In #opencola days we called them "super-recommenders" 😁
So don't worry if I unfollow, it nearly always means I found someone who regularly boosts your toots, unlike last May when I'd follow and follow just so there's be something interesting to engage with; these days I miss a lot if I just take a nap!
Has anybody heard of or is using OpenCola? I saw this presentation on it from DEF CON 30 and it looks very interesting. Already requested access to their alpha.
