Mastodon is so complicated. Those 2 million active users must be the smartest people in the world.

NEW BOT ALERT:

@AltTextHealthCheck monitors and reports on the percent of images with Alt text.

After checking it out let me know:

1. Can I format the post better?

2. Is hourly too often? What would be a good cadence?

Somehow the co-editor of ActivityPub, @cwebber, didn't have a #wikipedia page. I'm no expert editor but I know how to get the ball rolling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Lemmer-Webber

Even if reddit isn't your thing, it never was mine, it's worth making a lemmy account and up vote some cool stuff.

You have to show up to build new communities.

Is there a scifi episode anywhere when the ship gets a upgrade and now no one can find the right setting anymore and important features no longer work?

What a wild thing to be able to write this sentence and have it be true.

How long does a post take to federate to other servers?

TLDR: 8.6 seconds on average

At least as of about 7:30 EST today with a few servers under 1 and a few over 30 seconds.

No shade on ActivityPub but would love to read more articles on how smart people would architect distributed social networks. I know some of that is happening but I'm just not reading or finding enough of it.

Trying to build a leader board for @AltTextHealthCheck but seems like I should set some limit for number of images before I add an instance to the board. Anyone have any ideas? Both average and median seem small but maybe they are fine?

AI is currently the solution to all problems in the same way Uber was once the solution to all problems. In 5 -10 years when the venture comes to get it's profits and cost sky rocket it feels like most companies will scale back use. But in the mean time it will probably decimate a couple of industries that will never recover in the same way.
