I've been trying out https://Pinafore.social today. It's an alternative front end for Mastodon that works with any instance. It's absolutely fantastic if you're looking for a simpler Mastodon UI. Thank you @pinafore for all the great work.

A community moderator doesn't have to be able to understand the telegram API docs. Plus, you can't expect volunteers to only work on the most urgent projects. If you have a stressful day job, you'll want to do something fun in your free time. #Opensource leadership can support the more urgent projects, and incentivize meaningful contributions in that area, but there is a limit. You do not own the community!
People tend to see open-source communities as some sort of a hive-mind creature and fail to see that there's more than one person/team working on different sub-projects. Not every volunteer has the ability or motivation to take up some tasks, and that is perfectly fine! The people doing #webdesign have no idea how to create #halium ports. A #QML developer is probably worse than useless when it comes to setting up and maintaining a @matrix server.

SZ:
Audio-Überwachung: Facebook will das Patent zum Abhören
Ein US-Patentantrag deutet darauf hin, dass Facebook über das Smartphone-Mikrofon die Umgebung seiner Nutzer abhören kann.
Facebook überlegt, "nahezu jeden Lebensaspekt der Nutzer auszuwerten"
Who does Polyphemus hate worse than Odysseus? Show more
A really good example of that was the Personal Democracy Forum earlier in the year, sponsored by those companies and promanently fearuring Google and Facebook speakers. It's hard to discuss what democracy means, or should become, in the internet era if Facebook is dominating the narrative.
So, i'm back on mastodon.social :) What'd I miss?
I'm a little annoyed with all the problems mastodon.rocks has, so I moved my account to @NeoTheThird. See you on the other side!
