Fedi culture meta
I've been posting a lot about Mastodon in the last days. Fact is, we're creating it together. Old users AND new.
My goal is to make the new users aware that we old users are often here because we HAD to switch away from the overload and hate of corporate social media, seeking the relative quietness and seclusion of the Fediverse. Many of us fear that if the climate here changes for the worse, we'll have to leave again.
It's about being inclusive. To old AND new users.
I've seen a few people speculate that if Twitter doesn't survive the Great Muskening, it could be bad news for a lot of litmags (particularly the online-only ones). As well as the mags themselves finding new online spaces, I think all of us writers should try and support them wherever we can.
I'm currently running a request-to-join fediverse relay at https://relay.awoo.today - if you're a furry instance admin, please consider adding it, as it will greatly help smaller instances!
If you would like to add your instance to the relay, let me know, and I'll add your instance domain to the allowlist. Then, add your software's corresponding URL.
I will keep maintaining this relay for the foreseeable. Reach out to me with your instance, and I will add it to the allowlist so you can connect!
If you ever find yourself thinking you're making bad tech decisions, remember that the music industry turned down Napster's offer of $1,000,000,000 for not killing them, plus royalties going forward, plus metadata the industry would still kill their own children to have today, plus a lock on digital music downloads likely stronger than Amazon has ever had or will ever have on ebooks. All on the theory that killing Napster would lock the file sharing genie back in its lamp.
Another #PixelArt daily done! :) Echoes of the past.
