Just saw that has had three articles about how they mistreat their sellers in as many days. As an independent myself, I've been struggling to find purchase (and purchasers) on the platform, which is why I started building - a Etsy-alternative. These articles just go to show how much we need a new space that helps rather than uses them. Please this to help us spread the word.

BBC article headline titled "Etsy U-turn in row over withholding seller's money". Posted 19 hours ago when the screenshot was taken (August third, 2023).

OC Assuming boost stays as some sort of a super-upvote/share combo alongside regular up/downvote buttons, here's a UI idea on how to merge it into one unified voting system. App animation + web block mockup

I heard that votes have been changed to behave closer to how people would expect, and boost is staying here as well. So I had an idea how to bring it all together in the interface....

I was let go after 24 years in the same job so I’m actively looking. It’s no time for modesty, so tbh I’m the best IT and cybersecurity editor I know, and a great writer too, and my longevity speaks to that. My IT knowledge is deep and I have a gift for seeing the broader implications of a trend and bringing that out. I’m open to work for vendors, publishers, agencies, full- or part-time. Thanks for any boosts/leads!

Thanks Fedi friends!

Open source folks, I need your help. There's that number, floating around the internet for YEARS now, that claims that ~70% of modern software components are made up of open source software.

I cannot, for the life of me, find the actual source for that. As in, who arrived at that estimation and how.

Can someone please help me track that down or put me in touch with someone who might know?

If you are annoyed by people who boost too much (like me 😁 ), you need not mute them! Just go to their profile and choose behind the 3 dots "hide boosts from @ xy". This is also the easiest way to get only original posts by a followee.

I saw this from a fellow Fediversian - it seems smaller instances get better federated if people boost their toots across the ?

If so, I'd be grateful if you this toot and help my mini-instance reach farther.

And here's a for your enjoyment!

I love so much. Last night I posted an on a whim, just to say hello.

I expected to be ignored just like I have been so many times on (refuse to call the "X", ugh).

I woke up to numerous notifications and new followers. Wow.

A place to actually connect.

How wonderful.

Happy to meet you all, I am Jessa!

Hey, friends! Do you supervise people who have taken a sabbatical? My wife wants to talk to you!

She needs a couple more women to interview for her dissertation so that it's not dominated by dudes. The interviews are short, done remotely, and don't get into super-seekrit stuff about your organization.

Contact @SheilaDee or send me a direct message and I'll put you in touch

Boosts appreciated, as are direct referrals to women you know who'd be perfect!

Wo bleiben die Universitäten im Fediverse?

warum betreiben Universitäten nicht schon längst eigene Mastodon-Instanzen?

Warum bekommen Studierende nicht mit der Inskription auch einen Mastodon-Handle?

Warum hosten Universitäten Vorlesungsvideos nicht über PeerTube im Fediverse?

Es gibt einiges, das für ein stärkeres Engagement von Universitäten im Fediverse spricht.

Ein Aufruf den man nur unterstützen kann!

English Version
Where are the universities in the Fediverse?

Why don't universities have their own Mastodon instances yet?

Why don't students get a Mastodon handle when they enrol?

Why don't universities host lecture videos on PeerTube in the Fediverse?

There is a lot to be said for universities getting more involved in the Fediverse.

A call that can only be supported!

Fancy joining an experiment in crowd-writing a story?

I've created a Google Doc, and all you need to do is read the story so far, and add a paragraph or so.

RULES:

  1. Build on what has already been written. Feel free to change genres, introduce characters etc.

  2. Be kind to whoever comes after you. Don't kill the story.

  3. If someone else is editing the document, wait for them to finish.

  4. when you're done.

Kennt irgendwer wen der jemanden kennt, der ne kleine Azubiwohnung bis 600 € warm in Hamburg anbietet? Für jetzt einen ehemaligen Nachbarn.

Der Nachbar hat verletzungsbedingt seinen Job verloren und ist ab heute de facto obdachlos.
