!Twitter cutting its workforce https://fresh.federati.net/url/7911 /via @aviadax@identi.ca

@jrm “(Is RSS going the way of the horse and buggy?)” I think some sites believe they can replace feeds with tweets. But if you’re not watching your !Twitter stream at exactly the right moment, you’ll miss the tweets. In my opinion, encouraging people to subscribe to a feed is one of the best ways to ensure that they see and know about postings and updates.

@jbfavre that is sad news, my friend. We enjoy having you in the network and are happy to see your patches.

unsubbing @ignurante because of repeated use of racist language.

@roland @mmn @erkanyilmaz I think a better solution is to let the fullname (user@host) override shortnames (@user), even when the shortname is a known account to the server.

@nawi This is a great time. The network of !gnusocial / !sn / #rstatus / other #ostatus servers needs more instances in more countries, IMO.

@jonkulp Sounds like you’re ready to work in federal IT.
