Have you noticed there are no more of those "I tried Mastodon for 5 minutes and it will never work, here is why" articles out there?

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea behind LibremOne from @purism. We, the decentralized internet advocates, are quite far with the tech. What we desperately need is a touch of marketing, bundling, and consumer-friendliness. #LibremOne is doing exactly that. Bravo, and I hope them the very best of success.

Near the bottom of the librem.one FAQ:

"Will you release your apps on F-Droid? Yes! In the meantime, any app that speaks our open protocols will work."

I published a small update for #Fedilab (1.80.1)

It fixes the issue when refreshing polls. Also it fixes the issue with filters.

@adbenitez @aral oddly enough mozilla seems to be already registered as a nonprofit using mattermost https://mattermost.com/nonprofit/ (I know you don't call them out specifically, but *cough* timing).

@thurloat @fribbledom wtf. I'm going to write them, and encourage everyone to join me.

@fribbledom

seriously? I'm on discord, full disclosure, but even a mook like me realizes that their sharp, ad-free interface is most likely funded by the most egregious sales of user data.

mozilla is losing a significant amount of cred with this one. It's not as if there aren't plenty of great alternatives.

Mozilla is shutting down their IRC servers and moving to Discord, a proprietary chat service.

Hey Mozilla, aren't we forgetting something here? Our very own "Mozilla Pledge for a Healthy Internet” states:

> Principle 2 The internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible.

> Principle 6 The effectiveness of the internet as a public resource depends upon interoperability (protocols, data formats, content), innovation and decentralized participation worldwide.

I just managed to get a VPN working on my podcast device again, so I'm catching up on #LibreLounge episodes 12-16, and looking forward to doing the same with some other podcasts on hosts blocked by the Great Firewall.
