Mastodon and Diaspora are federated.

Of course it's feasible. There are already plenty of ways to migrate Twitter/FB data to Mastodon/Diaspora. To do a full migration, we would need an antitrust ruling with an order to perform the migration. It isn't likel

I would go much further. Break up Twitter into a bunch of Mastodon instances. Break up Facebook into a bunch of Diaspora instances. The internet should be open. Imagine if email or HTTP was proprietary like Facebook and Twitter are. This is

The right way to design it would be to allow apps to declare an allowed range of Electron dependency in package.json. For instance, if my app depends on Electron 5.x, then it will only run if 5.x is installed. If other apps require 4.x, the

It is reflected in reality. The vast majority of GitLab's exclusively remote workforce does not live in SF or NYC. If more companies offered such terms, the labor pool would spread out more.

This. It's truly amazing to me how much elitism is oozing in this thread from people who just keep repeating as though it is some well known fact that good people only want to live in big cities, hence suffering cities clearly are only

What Mastodon badly needs is a desktop client as good as Twitterrific that can crosspost to both Twitter and a Mastodon instance to lower the barrier to slowly switching. Something like Pidgin/Adium is for IM. That way people can defau

This is just a symptom of the webdev world's over-reliance on JavaScript to draw interfaces nowadays. The web stack has HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for reason. Quit doing everything in the third layer. Make your stuff with progressive en
