Oh I didn't realize the entire vidzy github project was nuked https://github.com/vidzy-social/vidzy

icymi, in the Matrix State of the Union they said they didn't plan on pursuing decentralized social media, but they do hope to make it easier for those ecosystems to use Matrix so they don't have to reinvent what Matrix has already done

Oh nice they found him

Nobody can claim they have crashed their server by generating half a terabyte of logs more than me and I consider that an accomplishment

if you're not posting every hour on the hour you're not in the right mindset

And, for those that don't rise and grind, we have InactivityPub

Making a Halloween playlist, anyone want to share their favorite creepy and spooky songs?

Some people say i have a gift

Bluesky shitposters formed their own ActivityPub server: https://fuckaas.space/

Uploaded some more photos to my blog
