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.

Mastodon is dead. Most people have migrated to Bluesky or Threads.
👽 Paul Webb
HARD disagree. Mastodon is fantastic for me. Bluesky is quiet af and Threads is just wanna be viral content. I guess it just boils down to who you follow. To me, small web folks, hackers, and those who spend time making lil' projects for internet lovers spend most of their time on Mastodon.

Has anyone used Dia browser? Since I use Arc I was able to get an early invite. It's a pretty browser! I do not give a damn about any of its AI tools though.

Because I don't like Google but I want to upload video, I decided to make my own video platform. Turns out, you need to implement chunked uploads for modern file sizes or your server will run out of memory! I think I have it implemented correctly, can't wait to test in the AM.

Liquid Glass design is DOA. Long live flat design.

I quite like it the concept ands immediately installed the developer beta on my phone. It clearly wasn't considered in many places but I expect that from a beta.

Do you upgrade every year?
👽 Paul Webb
Yup. I keep telling myself I won't but the incentive is always the camera.

Switch 2 is fantastic, loads of fun. Refreshed GameCube Controller is a blast. The camera is neat.

After six months of downtime, Subreply is back online. The new feature is private messages.
👽 Paul Webb
Don't call it a comeback!

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.
