Let's discuss Utter.Online (Mastodon) - Discuss Online

Hello, Another service we run is a Mastodon instance called https://utter.online/ [https://utter.online/]. It doesn’t have many active users; however, it’s a beast to host. I’m considering changing to a new domain and/or changing the software or shutting it down. The current domain name options are: 1. toot.onl 2. toot.discuss.online I haven’t done much research into alternatives to Mastodon. Let me know your thoughts! I’ve also tooted about it here: https://utter.online/@jsonarray/114161376708082696 [https://utter.online/@jsonarray/114161376708082696] Thanks, jgrim

👋 Hello all,

Utter.Online hasn't picked up much usage from the community for users of Discuss.Online. I'm considering a change.

Please vote on your preferred choice. The voting window is short on purpose to attract engaged users.

I want to either close it down or switch to a new name. I already have toot.onl, but I'm open to other options.

I'd like for this to be a conversation. Low engagement also is an answer :)

Among the waves: Plucky Puffin | Ubuntu

Not to be confused with the titular Linux mascot and seabird cousin, the penguin, puffins are another distinctively colorful and whimsical nautical avian. Over the centuries, these beaky birds have been given numerous nicknames and monikers like the “sea parrot” and the harlequinesque appearance of their facial feathers has earned them th […]

Big Tech Wants You Trapped. The Open Web Sets You Free

Big Tech designed their platforms to keep you trapped. YouTube, X, Instagram, and TikTok aren't neutral spaces. They're businesses built on capturing your attention and data. Their algorithms, notification systems, and content policies all serve one purpose: keeping you engaged on their terms. And their terms alone. There's no freedom

‘The political press may not understand what’s happening (or may be too afraid to say it out loud), but those of us who’ve spent decades studying how technology and power interact? We see it and we can’t look away.
So, here’s the bottom line: when WaPo’s opinion pages are being gutted and tech CEOs are seeking pre-approval from authoritarians, the line between “tech coverage” and “saving democracy” has basically disappeared. It’s all the same thing.’
