I'm super pleased to finally get this one off *my* project stack! Also includes all those cardboard stack displays I teased months ago.

“‘Justice’ is the key word. How do we begin to transform the institutions themselves? How do we change this society? We don’t want to be participants in the exploitation of capitalism. We don’t want to be participants in the marginalization of immigrants. And so there has to be a way to think about the connection among all of these issues and how we can begin to imagine a very different kind of society.”

I shared a link from NPR Tiny Desk but there was no image preview or video embed. After investigating this I learned that when you do that, each instance picks up the link and individually retrieves the link preview nearly simultaneously. For gargantuan sites like YT or Reddit, this is a trivial amount of traffic and not a problem, but for smaller sites like NPR this results in a sort of botnet DDOS attack on the site’s servers. More here. Another example here . For that reason, NPR has blocked Fediverse servers like Mastodon.

I have experienced this on my personal server as well (DDOS), but at the time didn’t know why, exactly.

This isn’t the end of the world, but certainly is not great and hurts engagement with the content. Is there a solution for this? Perhaps using some sort of webtorrent service like PeerTube where they just fetch the information from another fediverse server instead of the source server? Maybe fetching embeds client-side? At least that would stagger the requests.

I do have to disagree with this post, I think it's you who need more research if you really think that kickstarter suggests they haven't heard of the fediverse.

Haven: Better Instagram & YouTube, to Stop AI & Surveillance
Social media that prevents Big Tech & AI from stealing your art, your biometrics, and your privacy. We're replacing Insta and YouTube.

The fediverse does NOT prevent big tech and ai from stealing your stuff. it actually makes it easier. They just need a covert shell instance to subscribe to stuff and the fediverse hands everything to them for free, including your votes.

I'm all for the fediverse myself, but that's because I don't personally care about this that much. If I did, I wouldn't want to be here where we're the most vulnerable out of anywhere.

Hi @_elena
I found the smaller events much more impactful and rewarding. It's honourable that you pitch the big stages, but if they don't want it, it's less your loss than theirs. Go to smaller events instead, e.g. the https://SFSCON.it and maybe pitch again next year.

@futurebird This is what is currently in my workshop.

And an onboarding problem.

“Virtually every institution seized upon that term, ‘diversity.’ And I always ask, ‘Well, where is justice here?’ Are you simply going to ask those who have been marginalized or subjugated to come inside of the institution and participate in the same process that led precisely to their marginalization? Diversity and inclusion without substantive change, without radical change, accomplishes nothing.”

@ton Goeie smoes!

I feel like people who are already using an ‘alternate’ site are more likely to have heard of other ones.

@frank ik ben bij Lego World uitgebroken om wat dingen uit te zetten,...

@fschaap Dat moet ik nog uitvogelen. Boel staat nu stil, server is weer wat afgekoeld en ik ga straks verder op onderzoek. Maar eerst wat klantwerk doen, dat gaat gewoon door!
