I implore any of the #Fedora #Linux contributors out there that might see this, please do not back the new telemetry proposal. I know telemetry can be incredibly valuable for improving the product offered by Fedora and I'm sure some great improvements can be made with it but I see this as your Amazon Lens moment.

If #FedoraLinux goes ahead with this it doesn't matter that the user can opt-out, it doesn't matter that the data is generic, it doesn't matter that it's anonymized, for now until the end of time Fedora will be called a spyware distro. You will hurt community trust in the project far more than anything you will gain from improving the software and I really don't want to see that happen.

I just tagged the FTC in Twitter’s tweets regarding their anti-competitive policies. So if this account gets banned, don’t be surprised 😂

For everyone that was happy about the Twitter takeover and all that freedom of speech you were hoping for - I hope you’re enjoying this freedom. I mean, there’s so much Freedom of Speech you’re practically drowning in it.

@vkc is it easy to move instances? do your toots/posts move over with you? mastdon(dot)social has been extremely slow for me I think just because of the amount of people joining

Mastodon MigrationNov 19, 2022

An Incredible Day In Internet History

It started with the Twitter lockout. 10,000 new users per hour. A QUARTER MILLION people migrated to Mastodon in one day. The servers struggled. Remarkably, admins all over the world built up capacity in real time. New users were patient. The system held.

It's running better now. There will be more hard days ahead, but people powered social media has arrived.
