@jordigh Ok, so we're just talking random users on some instance, not the development team.

You could say there's a left/right split in the Fediverse, or considerate-speech/free-speech split if you like, and the left side uses more Mastodon and the right side uses more Pleroma, and GS is originally largely left but got an infusion from the right the year before Mastodon. But then there are Nazis on Mastodon instances too, and communists and anarchists on Pleroma. Gay and trans people are spread throughout the platforms.

A lot of us are still here mostly for the free software discussions.

So I think the software is a pretty bad proxy for pre-screening people.

Finally a kick (personally) back to Mastodon...

I'll be giving an invited talk at Web Conference in two weeks on social web protocols with a segue to my new credible web group. In talk abstract I invite folks to join W3C.social . Should be interesting. https://www2018.thewebconf.org/program/w3c-track/

@maiyannah Dogfooding is great, but what if the use case of collaboratively creating software is different than the use case for a social network?
@stitchxd @sandro the reply_to field is particularly prone to breakage because you may not have the referenced post because federation didn't send it to you. You can see this happen with pA on small instances (like mine) where the reply_to field is empty because I don't follow all the people involved.
Next meeting of Social Web Community Group (which you're welcome to join) is tomorrow (via mumble). Agenda: https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG/2017-06-07

If anyone knows a service similar to Hetzner's StorageBox, but based in the #USA, please let me know.

basically, I need a few TiB of space accessible via SFTP/WebDAV/NFS/CIFS/whatever that does not cost too much and preferably has no costs per GiB downloaded down the line.

Really missing search. I was in a conversation here about two days ago where I said something completely wrong, and I'd like to delete or reply-to-correct, but I have really no practical hope of finding it. (It was about the concept of "subtweeting", which I'd naively misunderstood until today.)
@Halycon I'm so impressed with your work. I'm wondering how hard it would be to install it side by side with a mastodon instance, on the same domain, with a user settings flag for which UI they get. No need to auth or anything. It looks like the URIs dont overlap except for /. But maybe the URIs should be the same. Hrmmmm.

Neo: "Doesn't harvesting human body heat for energy, violate the laws of thermodynamics?"

Morpheus: "Where'd you learn about thermodynamics, Neo?"

Neo: "In school."

Morpheus: "Where'd you go to school, Neo?"

Neo: "Oh."

Morpheus: "The machines tell elegant lies."
