Important issue, and an interesting discussion has taken place since last year on the #Mastodon side of things. I imagine this issue is also present for #Misskey and most other #Fediverse services, and I wonder if a fix is already in the works or even rolled out for them?
The reality is, you always take a chance when contributing to an open source development or projects. Just because you made a contribution, does not mean you own the project or can decide the path that project takes. Those of us who donated understood the risk (or at least, I hope most people did).
That said, when someone takes a proactive driving stance claiming they will deliver, you kind of hope you can take them for their word. And expecting the main website to be online is not a big ask, especially when that serves as a gateway for people to learn about and use the project you are funding. That, after all, was the reason I donated.
I like #Misskey / #Akkoma instances: CDRom Tokyo and MiniDisc Tokyo. All because of the "retro" interface and the names.
However, what frustrates me a lot is the speed issue: cannot load the timeline, it get stuck with no updated for many days or weeks. Takes too long time to post any thing, even just plain text.
I hope it will be solved in a near future because they will be my favorite sites.
I said.
P.D.
A big hello to the developers, I respect them so much !
Anyone else on #Misskey / #Sharkey having trouble getting the follow to stick rather than hang at processing? A common occurrence for me with bot accounts. Had a problem with PodcastIndex and the dev found an issue with authorised fetch with their implementation. Fixed and I can follow. Wonder if having same issue here?
They're the mascot for #SharkeyWorld, an instance powered by @Sharkey (cc: @ruud). It's a community of roughly ~120 members, and part of the rapidly growing squad of instances based on this #Misskey fork. #OhHaai
Haai is also the Dutch word for shark, and also is a homophone for a greeting (Hi!).
I don't like this move by #Threads. Limiting who can do #quoteposts pretty much defeats the purpose of quote posts in the first place.
Oh well, I'm confident that #Misskey will not adopt this beyond not allowing blocked users to quote a post by the user blocking them (which I disagree with btw), so this will not affect me thankfully and I can still quote Threads users as long as they haven't blocked me. :seija_coffee:
😂 That was odd! When I mentioned @darnell on my #WordPress blog, it pinged my #Flipboard account on my iPhone even though #ActivityPub is not yet activated (I received a push notification, which later revealed nothing 😆).
No matter, how you connect to the Fediverse, be if, for example, Misskey, Sharkey, Ice Shrimp, Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Kbin, or by other means, the Fediverse instance you're using cost money. In the real world, web hosting, bandwidth, and storage space cost, money. And the more members who use and join your Fediverse instance (server), the more resources and the most it cost.
I earned by badge, by reaching out to my administrator, and helping them by donating. And while if it was not required to make a donation or regular contribution, I like using the Fediverse. It is ad-free and decentralized, meaning, someone like Elon Musk, cannot change things for everyone, everywhere, solely on their latest mood swing. So I made the choice to help fund my corner of the collective social media network, known as the Fediverse.
That encouraged me & others to donate and attracted corporate sponsors (I think someone just donated $100,000 or ¥15,728,365.80 recently). via @darnellhttps://darnell.moe/notes/9sq22w9724
Hmm I probably have the most ridiculous #robotstxt for a #Misskey instance right now lol. I just want to let #Mojeek and #Marginalia crawl #Makai and make sure to keep out #Google and the AI scrapers... :satrithink:
And I see this kind of #antisemitic#bullshit from #leftists sooo regularly in the #fediverse that I accidentally used "regularly" twice here (and I can't edit it because #Misskey :P). Bloody hell. :chuckling_okuu:
