seeing people enthusiastically giving up their contacts lists to get on Clubhouse is so 2009.

With the deplatforming of forums where trumpists and right-wing figures congregate, there's a lot of chatter about whether and when private entities have the right to remove speech, and what obligations come with scale.
The most important - and overlooked - area of this discourse is the role that monopoly plays, and the role that anti-monopoly enforcement could play.

sorry I've neglected you, mastodon. It seems I have some time on my hands, so please to be entertaining now!
Just following along with some Mastodon releases, I see a nice, up-to-date version on Docker Hub:
https://hub.docker.com/r/tootsuite/mastodon
and a ready-to-install image in the Digital Ocean Marketplace:
https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/mastodon
soon to be updated to latest 3.0.1.
round of applause to @Gargron and friends. 👏

mastodon.social is experiencing technical difficulties right now. I have resolved the internal errors, making it usable again, but outward federation has a massive backlog that will only clear in about 7 hours, and I have not found a good way to speed up that process so far.
This means people on other servers might only receive your posts after 7 hours 😦
looking forward to the #brexit update to Euro Truck Simulator 2
