why is hiring/firing posts so popular here? As an indie dev it's kind of annoying to me, this was supposed to be an entrepreneurial community rather than a place for managers to vent every afternoon.

I am more interested in public government code being shared with other EU countries. EU funds a lot of government software projects , but they never end up becoming EU-wide projects. EU is all about enabling common standards across count

I only use spf and seemingly they go through. I never send unsolicited mails though for years. In any case i always ask people to check their spam. It is very irritating of course that professional spammers (i.e. mailchimp) always jump the

for me it s because they are copycats not original ideas. they are trying to copy twitter, but twitter as-is can't be decentralized, if it could it would already have. then, they are not content agnostic. my email , even gmail, won&#x2

unfortunately it is not like email. they don't block for spam, they block for things they don't like. i don't know if it is a cultural problem, or an consequence of the fact that mastodon started in the mid-2010s vs email whi

and yet we rarely hear of gmail blocking accounts for political reasons , which happens all the time in mastodon. And, people switch to substack and newsletters to avoid being locked in twitter. I think the problem with mastodon is that ins

I think we need something simpler than mastodon. Something like an extension of email, without instances acting as gatekeepers (don't they suffer the same problems as twitter when they block other instances?). There will be a lot of sp

i believe it becomes a shitshow if you start twitting. Thats because twitter will notify you of replies to your posts (it shouldn't maybe). there are mobs of political trolls that trigger each other and it can become pretty funny. if y
