Hey'all! We're BlueBuild, a FOSS community project focused on making the customization of image-based atomic Linux distributions a breeze. (atomic @fedora, @UniversalBlue

Folks, please go and use this gentleman's home grown search engine. He literally runs it out of his basement. Mikkel is on Matrix as well, and you can message him.
Obligatory yearly toot about #FOSS so I can stay on #Fosstodon 🎉
I saw the other day that German state Schleswig-Holstein is going to switch to fully #FOSS. Which is great and hope it works out for them.
Having set up a fully (F)OSS (desktops, apps, servers, etc) IT env for a large non-profit, might I suggest proper enterprise support instead of a lone coffee-addicted sysadmin who tries to keep systems together with hopes, prayers and duct tape? 🥲
@mike@kev is there a discussion or post or something somewhere about the official #Fosstodon#Threads position?
I know there was an announcement about it like 9 months ago when it was first announced, but my searches of the website and those hashtags hasn't turned up anything yet.
Things seem to be integrating now because I just saw a threads user on my feed and replied to them. Not surprisingly my post hasn't shown up on threads.com yet.
OK, so I officially registered #Fosstodon on libera.chat. I'm going to be occasionally dropping in there (don't expect @kev though). If you're wanting to chat, that's where I'll be (but not all the time). Anybody is welcome!
My question to you is:
Does it also not work in other applications?
Is this a known bug?
If yes, where should I report it? To pixelfed, Tusky or somewhere else?
@fosstodon Perhaps a little bit of push can help. This can be a good way of gamification of being more accessibility-friendly instance. Basically we ask out fellow instance-mates to be more active in this regards. Just needs a small push from the instance admin via instance announcement and potentially a small blog post.
It may be a good idea to split my next software project from my personal page, where I express thoughts, people may not like or understand differently from what I intended.
In 2022, I thought about joining @fosstodon, but I did not want to write english only.
Is #fosstodon a place for open source software projects, too?
Or is it more for developers behind projects?
I would use it as a place to document decision making processes and ask for opinions. Matrix is not very good for this, I think.
Hundreds of thousands of children die every year from malaria. As I’ve noticed a renewed interest in the welfare of children dying prematurely, I figured I’d share one of my favorite charities working to help eradicate malaria around the world: https://www.malariaconsortium.org/
Someone on #Fosstodon please retoot this so it shows up in general #FOSS feeds - why is the Apache secretary someone who openly supports mass murder of children?
