@lambalicious I think it will! There is a vibrant community of musicians on here!

Pretty sad, but understandable in both cases. And a big reminder that when you care about something, you have to actively care for it and support it.

And it's not always just about money. Donate your time, spread the word. Don't take things for granted.

Anyway. Happy Friday, and happy first day of November.

I hope you're all doing alright!

Two big #fediverse institutions sunsetting.

First, the botsin.space server for creators of friendly bots.

And now the Radio Free Fedi community internet radio.

The actual first message that was sent that day was just "LO", first two letters of the word "LOGIN", when the system crashed.

I have a long way to go, but slowly starting my #BotsInSpace migration. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

@[email protected] I suppose you can say that. But it sounds like it's being actively developed, which sounds very promising!

I am mainly interested in it in the context of migrating a few dozen automated accounts, see https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/113392776797934398.

Setting up a new Mastodon server seems like an overkill, so I'm giving this a try.

#GoToSocial is pretty neat, actually. Lots of potential!

"Welcome to the nettime mailing list!"

https://nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-9510/msg00000.html

"[The internet mailing list Nettime, created in 1995, 29 years ago] has been widely recognized for its seminal role stimulating and disseminating ideas about Netzkritik or Net Critique, net.art, and tactical media and pioneered practices such as "collaborative filtering"."

"The War of the Worlds", directed and narrated by Orson Welles, was performed and broadcast live 86 yeas ago #OnThisDay. (stefanbohacek.online)
 

"The War of the Worlds", directed and narrated by Orson Welles, was performed and broadcast live 86 yeas ago #OnThisDay.

It is "infamous for inciting a panic by convincing some members of the listening audience that a Martian invasion was taking place, though the scale of panic is disputed, as the program had relatively few listeners."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

@[email protected] Also, for an additional context, there's a conversation going on the Mastodon Discord about the "reply guy" issue and how to address it, so I quickly threw together this mockup.

I know this idea is a bit silly, but hey, maybe if enough people like it, who knows!

What if... in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

@[email protected] Oh no, it was just an idea. Since I haven't heard back, I just put it on hold.

Adding the card shouldn't break attachments, as long as there's room for one more.

Well, maybe I could still have a look at this, it could be a fun experiment. Maybe just not as useful since many people just use a mobile app.

(I ran a poll some time ago for another idea.)
