@jgordon @natematias To see the fediverse from a smaller server, to find out more about the coop model as applied to Mastodon, and to work through the details of a migration.

The blocker appears to be migrating lists, which are quite important to me. I tried https://www. eliotlash.com/masto-list-impor ter/ which looks promising (thanks Eliot!) but may need some rate-limiting for my 400+ person/list relationships.

I was already planning to migrate to social.coop. Then, today:

1. I listened to @natematias's remarks on https://publicinfrastructure.org/podca st/do-you-trust-that-justice-is-just-with-nathan-matias-tracey-meares-and-tom-tyler-trust-episode-4/)

2. I asked #Steampipe who I follow there, and it answered: Boris Mann, Chris Lott, christina bowen, Dan Connolly, Dan Phiffer, Doug Belshaw, Ed Summers, Erik Moeller, Evan Boehs, J. Nathan Matias 🦣, Johannes Ernst, Luis Villa, Nate Angell, Nathan Schneider, Robin DeRosa, smallcircles (Humane Tech Now), Steve E, Zane Selvans.

Both confirmed my choice.

I very much enjoyed the annotations added to the Path to Preservation sign at Muir Woods.

The yellow sticky notes reported by SFGate in 2021 are now permanent features of the sign.

This was a wonderful hike: https://www. mapmyride.com/routes/view/5467 198078/

So much fun to climb the Dipsea Stairs!

If we'd done it in reverse we could have skipped the Muir Woods entry fee.

But actually, I'd skip Muir Woods entirely next time and go all the way to Stinson Beach (with a car on either end).

@timklapdor I would like the word "moderation" to mean not only preventing some stuff, or taking down some stuff, but also rate-limiting viral spread.

At #FediForum there was discussion of the pros and cons. If an architecture that's friendly to virality is better for certain kinds of political activism but worse for society at large, I'm ready to say let's dial down the virality and find better solutions for activists.

Perceived? On the same day we saw the actual code that special-cases Elon? Sigh.

@ehud I've got one that uses the just-released #Steampipe plugin for Mastodon, and joins with the RSS plugin to capture the most recent post for each person.

I wouldn't recommend trying it yet, though, because the RSS feeds built this way surfaced some issues (https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-pl ugin-rss/pull/30).

It's a cool join but maybe there's a better way to find each person's most recent toot just using the API.

The count of monthly active users for the fediverse as a whole is an interesting but abstract metric. More concrete for me: are the people I follow still active?

This chart (based on a sample of the people I follow) begins to answer that question, but I'll need to compare with future snapshots to see how things are evolving.
