Hey if anyone wants to live on the bleeding edge of Mastodon development I stood up a staging server at https://beta.darksocial.party. Join and pound on it but know that it could be wiped at any time with no warning!
Pitch me! for The Recompiler
I'm interested in new articles on a few topics:
- Federated systems and deletion: why itβs hard and why it matters
- Looking at Mastadon in terms of security and privacy
- Using labor history to understand whatβs going on in the tech industry and/or open source
We pay, and people from under-represented groups are especially encouraged to submit. Email info at recompilermag dot com and see recompilermag.com/participate for our guidelines

the big news from that medium article gargron made is not the snarky title but that he's actually taking on a project manager and making a public roadmap, and making organizational changes such that he is cooperating with others and doing community outreach.
if you told me this in january i wouldn't have believed you
