If anyone wants to get on a mastodon instance, we just got a big hardware upgrade secured for mastodon.sdf.org (not rolled out yet; we're fine with 70k on our instance so far anyway with basically no optimisations (though it no longer shares resources with toobnix.org)) Federated networks! The migration to mastodon is a glimpse of the internet healing itself. sdf is a tilde about art and anti-commercialisation of the internet, so if you hate art and love seeing advertisements everywhere, proprietary subscription web services and being scraped for data it might not be for you ./back-to-invisibility On 11/18/22, Lawrence D'Oliveiro <ldo(a)geek-central.gen.nz> wrote:
