[09:58]  * zxmpi twiddles thumbs and waits for mastodon confirmation email
[12:41] <diddledani> zxmpi: did it arrive yet?
[12:41] <diddledani> apparently tooting is no-longer a thing in Mastodon...
[12:41] <diddledani> now it's "publish"ing
[12:48] <zxmpi> and me setting up beanzmeanzfartz just to toot!! :-P
[12:49] <zxmpi> was a silly name but changing it rather than just letting toot die seems the wrong way
[15:12] <davef> the only issue I have with mastodon, most instances are running on slow VPSs
[15:13] <davef> so the sidekiq queues just bind up and you never see other people's toots on other instamces
[15:13] <davef> *instances
[15:14] <davef> long live IRC! :)
[15:54] <zxmpi> irc will never die but as a twitter replacement i think i can use mastodon
[15:58] <zxmpi> i think with mastodons federation it might go same way, it might fade but someone will always be running a server
[16:04] <diddledani> so we need someone to set up a mastodon instance to rule them all... we can call it the "centralised decentralised platform"
[16:05] <diddledani> mastodon is very much designed to scale, but the server operators aren't using all the capabilities to do so - as you say, most of them are single VPS setups
[16:06] <diddledani> I saw someone ask "has anyone set up elasticsearch backend for mastodon" - I suspect nobody is actually doing that in production
[16:06] <diddledani> afaict mastodon has elasticsearch linkage built in but nobody is using it
[16:08] <davef> it does have support for ELK, but you're right.. nobody is using it
[16:27] <davef> in other news, i handed in my resignation on monday
[17:14] <diddledani> :-o
[17:19] <zxmpi> hope all is well :-/
[17:20] <davef> all is good :)
[17:20] <davef> i'm going to a small games studio
[17:20] <davef> as.. and get this..
[17:20] <zxmpi> huzzah \9/
