Hi all 👋 I normally don't do this, but these are weird times. I'm a Senior JavaScript engineer looking for a new remote opportunity. I specialize in front-end, but generally work across the stack. Based in the US. Please e-mail me if you or someone you know is looking to hire.

I can implement support for pictures, but the price will be $1 per picture.

I'm planning on proposing to my girlfriend. I'm looking for a place to buy a simple/dainty moissanite or lab-grown diamond ring. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Do you think making Subreply private will be a good idea or a bad one? Mastodon will always be public.

Are you talking about the Local feed? That doesn't solve the problem of trying to have a conversation with people on your instance only to have some troll from shitposter.club or neckbeard.xyz jump in. Mastodon provides public, unlisted, followers-only, and direct--but not local-only, and unlisted isn't an adequate substitute because unlisted toots are still accessible from the open web.
🐢 Keb
Ah yes, I see what you're saying. Although I think that's one of federation's greatest strengths -- I personally have not experienced trolls derailing conversations, but I reckon that can be an issue on any large enough community. Mastodon and Pleroma can definitely find better ways to help isolate users that want to be isolated.

What's your favorite text editor?

I disagree. Federation is one of the reasons Mastodon/Pleroma are unpleasant; it contributes to context collapse and makes it harder to compartmentalize across forums. If I'm on server X, I don't want to hear from anybody on servers Y and Z (or see their untagged loli porn or alt-reich memes). If I wanted to interact with people on servers Y and Z, I'd create accounts there.

They said the same thing about app distribution. We have both systems: package managers and app stores.
🐢 Keb
I am starting to think that any new microblog should have federation support at this point. There's too many social networks; things are too fragmented. It's definitely nice having a small community of likeminded folks, but the paradox is that every community in its early stage wants *more* users until the point where old users reminisce of the good old days when the site had "personality", and then leave to another smaller community.

Actually using Albert or rofi on Linux (X11) as application launcher, do you have any other recommendation ?
🐢 Keb
I currently use Rofi and love it, but maybe check out ulauncher.io if you're looking for alternatives.
