| cmaloney | Good morning | 13:17 |
|---|---|---|
| _stink__ | yo | 13:17 |
| rick_h | morning | 13:20 |
| cmaloney | Apparently PZMeyers tweeted about octodon.social | 18:30 |
| cmaloney | and now people are joining it like crazy | 18:30 |
| cmaloney | I know this because I'm on the list of instant follows on that server | 18:30 |
| cmaloney | and my notifications / email messages are pegged | 18:30 |
| jrwren | weird. | 18:31 |
| mrgoodcat | that happened when bryan lunduke joined mastodon.social | 18:31 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 18:31 |
| mrgoodcat | i went back to twitter after a while | 18:32 |
| mrgoodcat | i liked the idea in theory, but twitter is just easier | 18:32 |
| cmaloney | That's because I wasn't on mastodon yet | 18:32 |
| cmaloney | but now I am so it's all good. :) | 18:32 |
| mrgoodcat | lol | 18:33 |
| mrgoodcat | when mastodon had its big explosion i saw a bunch of blog posts about server operators that were suddenly hit with massive hosting bills | 18:33 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 18:33 |
| cmaloney | I contribute to my provider's Patreon | 18:33 |
| mrgoodcat | and there was always the questionof what happened if your server went down | 18:33 |
| cmaloney | You hop to another server | 18:34 |
| mrgoodcat | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 18:36 |
| greg-g | cmaloney: other than mastodon.social, do you have a recommendation for a good server to join? | 18:37 |
| * greg-g is late to the party | 18:37 | |
| cmaloney | octodon.social is decent | 18:38 |
| cmaloney | (That's the one that I'm on) | 18:38 |
| greg-g | er yeah, /me was misreading backscroll | 18:38 |
| cmaloney | There's a joinmastodon.org as well | 18:39 |
| cmaloney | And https://instances.social/ | 18:39 |
| cmaloney | Which gives you a questionaire about what you're looking for and picks a site | 18:40 |
| greg-g | huh, neat | 18:40 |
| greg-g | so much bootstrap in the world :( | 18:40 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 18:40 |
| * greg-g is a SJW | 18:41 | |
| greg-g | https://instances.social/list#lang=en&allowed=&prohibited=nudity_nocw,pornography_nocw,sexism,racism,illegalContentLinks,spam,advertising,hateSpeeches,harrassment&users= | 18:41 |
| cmaloney | https://i.write.codethat.sucks/about | 18:42 |
| cmaloney | ;) | 18:42 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: Which instance did you pick? | 18:47 |
| greg-g | stalling | 18:47 |
| greg-g | :) | 18:47 |
| greg-g | have 4 different things going atm :P | 18:47 |
| greg-g | #multitaskingfail | 18:47 |
| cmaloney | This is the most important. Chop chop. :) | 18:47 |
| greg-g | I need to find that "how to pick an instance" blog post I saw on planet debian | 18:50 |
| greg-g | https://carlchenet.com/the-importance-of-choosing-the-correct-mastodon-instance/ | 18:51 |
| cmaloney | Ah, right | 18:55 |
| cmaloney | Honestly they make it really easy to move accounts | 18:55 |
| cmaloney | you can export your following list / mutes / blocks | 18:55 |
| cmaloney | So if you mis-fire, you can still move with relative ease | 18:56 |
| cmaloney | no forwarding address though. | 18:56 |
| greg-g | oh, so others following you will have to update? makes sense but bummer | 18:56 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 18:56 |
| cmaloney | But you can also put something like "MOVED" in your name and leave where you've moved to | 18:57 |
| greg-g | yeah | 18:57 |
| brousch | No pornography? Have people forgotten what the Internet is for?! | 20:19 |
| jrwren | maybe CC licenced pornography is acceptable? | 20:20 |
| cmaloney | Pretty sure that is a small proportion of pornography | 20:21 |
| jrwren | i dunno... i bet a lot of /r/gonewild would license that way if you asked 'em too. :p | 20:22 |
| greg-g | jrwren: twitter/reddit is better for prono anyways, no need for it on my matodon :) | 20:24 |
| greg-g | +s | 20:24 |
| jrwren | no need for porn on twitter IMO. I was just commenting on the "FREEDOM!!!!" associativity of the service :) | 20:26 |
| cmaloney | https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/sof/d/killer-full-stack-coder-wanted/6322780204.html | 20:32 |
| cmaloney | I think the ALL CAPS really sells it | 20:32 |
| jrwren | damn! looking for a KILLER like that! I guess in sfbay people can just admit to being killers! | 20:34 |
| _stink__ | gahahaha | 20:55 |

| _stink__ | no one is laughing yet | 21:03 |
| _stink__ | does it hit too close to home for valley people? | 21:04 |
| greg-g | heh, I should share in our staff channel | 21:05 |
| jrwren | i jsut had to lookup C-w again for use in bash over M-BS | 21:05 |
