A few years ago I made this flow chart of which Mastodon posts end up in which timelines!

So, you can see how each instance will have a different local timeline, and even a slightly different federated timeline - and you can see why the federated timeline moves so much faster than the local one, too.

This is why it's important to boost good posts and use hashtags - the fediverse is fragmented and harder to search by nature.

Why GPL? "Using the GNU GPL will require that all the released improved versions be free software. This means you can avoid the risk of having to compete with a proprietary modified version of your own work." More at https://u.fsf.org/3kr

for every engineer who moves fast and breaks things, there are four more who move slow and fix things. and they're tired of the first engineer's bullshit

This is so funny.

Drew explicitly doesn't mention his own project/company, so I will:

For $20 a YEAR, you can be an 'Amateur Hacker' level supporter of his FULLY FLOSS platform.
If you believe in 'voting with your wallet', that's an excellent way to support and promote FLOSS alternatives.

There are also other plans for $50 or $100 although it currently doesn't provide extra features.
See https://sourcehut.org/pricing/ for details

I'll take quality over quantity. Sure, AI outputs for #OpenStreetMap might beat humans to it (wrt quantity), but seriously, human intervention is still required: e.g. numerous crappy outputs needed to be sifted before saying yes to the automated process

10... no, 100 times this. XMPP and IRC are very good communication protocols, there's no need to replace them with something "modern"

Universal Audio's official forum account said they would add Linux support if "tens of thousands" of people signed a petition.

Here is that petition!
