👽 Paul Webb The U.S. is in such a sorry state that other countries are moving to open-source to avoid running government infrastructure on American-made software techradar.com/pro/... While this makes sense, it's also quite telling.
🙌 Nat Voisey , is there a way to post to Subreply using the Shortcuts app so I don't have to open the website? I tried checking the network API, but it doesn't show anything because the page reloads.
👨🏻‍💻 Moroni This is kinda interesting! I'm curious about what you are trying to achieve.
🙌 Nat Voisey Mastodon is great for communities that have a niche. Have you tried Ivory by Tapbots?
👽 Paul Webb THE only reason I'm such a heavy Mastodon user. Third-party apps are a must for any network.
🙌 Nat Voisey They can do more, but they won't do as *little* as you can do. I like that you've kept it simple.
🏒 Lucian Marin I spent six months on other social networks and I got bored. Subreply is a lot more interesting to me even if there aren't that many people here.
📷 Milgeeo Practically just started this 🎙️ bit.ly/m/SoTW 🎧 Thank you for listening!
🏒 Lucian Marin I think I will shut down Sub this time. New social networks can do more than I can do.
👽 Paul Webb I stopped working on socii.network because I came to the same conclusion. Mastodon has scratched that social media itch for me, even though the features I'd add would be more exciting.
👨‍💻 Timo Whoa! Totally forgot about this fun little social network! Thanks for the reminder mail
🏒 Lucian Marin You're welcome. I couldn't send the email to everyone, just the latest active users.
😀 Tom Happy 10-year Subversary to me!
🏒 Lucian Marin I think I will shut down Sub this time. New social networks can do more than I can do.
🦇 Arr Just read a heading on hackernews: "making social "social" again". This site here is what makes social media "social", instead of corporate, again. (But media is technically just text, so not media, but social text, at its best, I guess.)
🏒 Lucian Marin Yes! How many times I need to explain it? Subreply is HN version of a social network.
🏒 Lucian Marin In 2019 I suggested to Elon Musk to build a social network together. He answered me and said he wasn't interested, but my idea definitely changed everything. This is the butterfly effect of me creating a tiny social network. Five years later I saved the entire world from collapse.
🦇 Arr Did he not get the idea from the community that all billionaries buy out a kind of media outlet to spread their point of view to the world? As for apps Musk likes to code, the everything-app seems to be it. For 20 years now, or when was his time with paypal?

Zero Edge To any and all who have a WordPress website you should know that ALL WordPress websites have a bus factor of 1. If 1 guy gets hit by a bus and dies you lose all ability to update your plugins, and keep your website up to date with the latest security patches. This is from the man himself: pbs.twimg.com/medi... Do you really want to build ANYTHING ontop of a single point of failure? Anyone with a business on WordPress should consider migrating. Do not build on WordPress.

Pzumk This is crazy. Are there other big sites or tools with a bus factor of 1?
Pzumk 🛤️ I don't think this unusual way to transfer between platforms in Japan is possible anywhere in Germany, but I already know I would probably get trapped in the middle train because the doors closed x.com/khmcake/stat...

🌀 Cycloneblaze When I signed up 3 y 47 w ago, I had two emoji in my name. Does anyone know where that went in the meantime?
🏒 Lucian Marin Do you have any idea how much the world changed in the last 4 years?
Pzumk 📺 Just finished the first season of Dark Matter on Apple TV+. We enjoyed it and we're looking forward to season two. Until then: Slow Horses?
Pzumk 🤖 Siri uses two different (German) voices on my HomePod. When I ask her for tomorrow's weather I get her old voice, when I ask her how the weather will be in Hamburg at 5 am on Monday I get a newer and nicer voice.
