We're currently having issues with the #Drupal community instance, as reported by some users, the ingress and pull processes have been lagging during the weekend.
We've restarted the services and it is slowly coming back to normal but we have this issue too often now to ignore it.
We believe after looking to it for a bit with the help of NITEMAN (https://www.drupal.org/u/niteman) that the bottleneck could be PostgreSQL, for the time being we've increased the memory but I think we will need more actions
A completely new #Drupal CMS was just announced at the #DrupalConPortland Driesnote. Drupal Starshot will leverage Drupal Core but have a different governance model to move quickly, allowing for more innovation.
@fediversereport I say no (to me it has to use ActvityPub to be the Fediverse) but classify it as other federated social media. I don’t see it taking off like Threads. See the Skygaze announcement.
Next in line: #Spotify, and seriously considering wiping out #Google as well. For the latter I need to find another Ungoogled custom ROM for my Android first.
2024 seems to be my year of digital cleansing.
Feels good. I might set up a side project with a tiny landing page called 'Accounts Graveyard' or something like that.
It's been a bit surprising to see some of the folks who understand the threat posed by Meta wave off the nonconsensual intrusion of Bluesky into the fediverse as no big deal. Some perceptions of the problematic data processing and moderation issues follow.
At the moment the network is centralized on a single server controlled by the corporation. It launched with almost no moderation at all, but currently there is a small mod team, which may be a stopgap plugged in after early disasters in racist harassment produced bad press.
However, that doesn't appear to be the long-term plan. The Bluesky whitepaper linked here reveals a hyper-neoliberal architectural vision that could almost be understood as a belief system - a Cult of the Algorithm, as foretold by glassy-eyed guru/antivax billionaire Bitcoin Rasputin. https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.03239
This is a really nice guide to using Gutenberg in #drupal, but I’m also really interested in knowing why I should be using Gutenberg over Layout Builder or any other solution.
With Substack's risible response to calls to remove Nazis, I'd like to accelerate my move off the platform, preferably to #WordPress. But I'm not sure how to reproduce my setup and subscriber model there, and so would live advice from the community. I publish both essays and podcast episodes, and subscribers get early access to both. Is there a way to do this within Wordpress that doesn't involve posting each essay and podcast twice, but instead unlocking and email them at a specified date?
