I think @gargron is making a big mistake here by signaling his intent to phase out the local timeline : https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-ios/issues/221

Besides debates about what "diverse" means, it's taking away a major incentive for people to start and maintain an instance.

Starting an instance to host a community is appealing to some people.

Starting an instance to do free IT for a distributed server farm of homogeneous instances seems like a hard sell.

@lightweight @alcinnz Couple of thoughts.

It’s a huge paradigm shift to become aware that there are avenues to bring about change in software other than voicing complaint. This is all most people have ever known. So I think very often it’s just habit rather than deliberately trying to treat maintainers poorly.

Another factor is that each project is a different mini community that has a different mini culture. They all have in common that they share what they make, which is wonderful.

"That reddit-killing distributed self-hosted tool you’re building probably won’t kill reddit, sorry. [...] Make something personal for a dozen people, because that’s the one thing those massive vendors will never do and never even understand that they could do."

Instead of using Calendly to schedule your events and meetings you can switch to the #opensource alternative called #Calendso. It requires #nodejs and #PostgreSQL to get started. Another #selfhost app to try!

I really like the concept of First Timers Only to low barriers to participate in open source communities https://www.firsttimersonly.com/ These first time tasks can also be applied to other contexts cc @eldelacajita

Excelente infografía muy claro todos los conceptos.

Ventoy is awesome. You install it to an external drive, then drop bootable ISOs onto it. Boot to it and you get a menu for which ISO to choose. It’s going to become a standard part of my ISO testing process, because I can leave old versions and compare. https://www.ventoy.net
