Mister Monster @mister_monster@social.privacytools.io

For my friends on here that are unaware, I mostly use an alt account @mistermonster and don't really use this mastodon account all that often.

I'd like to stand, and I'd like to breathe;

And I'd like to look everybody watching me in the eye, and let them know that I will continue breathing.

That is what it means to be free.

@phoenix you update to the new Pleroma yet?

Looking at the local timeline vs the federated timeline is like venturing outside the city walls. Inside its a bunch of people you've seen around, maybe you know some of them. Outside it's all foreigners and vagrants and degenerates, bots and monsters and its a literal desert out there.

Side note, I wish #husky allowed you to browse a specific instance of your choice.

So there are some interesting things that #Mastodon and #Pleroma can't do. For example, Pleroma shows replies to threads you are not in (and you cannot turn this off outside the Pleroma web UI) and Mastodon cannot mute conversations like Pleroma can.

I've found this https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown which has some interesting features, most importantly, local only (unfederated) posting, which is great for communities. I think I will run a server eventually.

arrgh mateys! It appears tons of source code has been leaked from many prominent companies due to insecure dev tools:

if you'd like this occurrence to not be wasted effort, clone this repo before it gets DMCA'd off the interwebs:

I'm trying to use my desktop more when I am home. I find myself using my phone for everything social and comm related, which is most of what we do online, and so I find myself not doing the cool things i want to be doing.

RIP dummy, I will miss you very much.
