    It has been a tough decision, especially because I had many good discussions here. But I don't want to run my own server just for GNU Social any longer. The last few weeks I tried Mastodon to see if I want to join one of the existing GNU Social nodes or Mastodon. I decided to go with Mastodon. Digital social networks are just no longer as important to me as they where in the past. All important stuff I want to preserve will be published at schiessle.org and my blog. From next month on social networking will happen at https://mastodon.social/@bjoern and occasionally diasp.eu/u/bjoern. The next few weeks I will start following you from Mastodon and I hope most of you will follow me back. ;)

    Sad news, Reddit is no longer Free Software. I would have hoped that they consult other companies and organizations who have some experience with the challenges they faced and could have helped them to find a better solution than closing everything down

    Easy XMPP, small improvements can make a difference

    The easy XMPP initiative tries to identify all the small UX glitches and fix them. That's a great first step in the right direction. For user discovery I would love to see mobile clients to check my address book, auto add contacts with a XMPP address and automatically check contacts email addresses for XMPP capabilities. This would be a easy, privacy respecting way to auto-populate the contact list.

    1. Nextcloud vs ownCloud – The Whole Story
      from CiviHosting
      Battle of the Clouds Interested in finding the private cloud package that’s right for you? Yes, so are we. 🙂 In the open source private cloud marketplace, there are several options, such as ownCloud, Nextcloud, Seafile, Syncthing and Pydio as well as smaller players such as SparkleShare and Tonido. To see what’s happening in this market, let’s take a brief look at this Google Trends graph of interest in the top four packages over the past 3 years: Shows pretty clearly that ownCloud and Nextcloud dwarf the competition, and it also seems fairly clear that since its inception, Nextcloud has been growing fast and seems to be taking over the… Read More

    I'm the only one who is really disturbed that with Wayland it is no longer possible to do stuff like 'sudo -u someUser someGraphicalApp'? Is there any workaround. Or did we lost this with Wayland forever?

    @gargron it is really great to see so much activities around Mastodon, not only on the users side but also on the dev side! I really hope that this will build a long lasting developer community. I have seen many great projects and ideas failing in the past because maintainers didn't manage to build a healthy community around it. My number one tip: integrate new devs as good as possible. Not only review their pull request but also ask them to review other pull request and give them merge rights as early as possible.

    "Mastodon broke the cardinal rule of social media: it separated them into silos" sorry @LanceUlanoff but this is not the "cardinal rule of social media". This the cardinal rule of walled gardens build to grow the product (the users) in order to sell them to advertisers. http://mashable.com/2017/04/05/mastodon-wont-survive/

    @hobbsc especially I like the last question: "And finally, the last question I'd be asking my lawyers: What's your bill come to? That much? Is using Github worth that much to me?"
    No matter if the new ToS are a problem at the end or not, I'm getting more and more annoyed by services where I always have to track new ToS's, privacy policies, etc.

    Head a nice discussion about !GNUSocial with @mattl on Twitter. Maybe this is also interesting for others: https://twitter.com/mattl/status/833248449852297218 (conversation view is really shitty on Twitter, in order to also see the "sub-threads" you have to click on the individual messages). I would also be happy to discuss my thoughts with the GNU Social community, because I really care. But I don't know what's the best place for it... The mailing list looks rather dead https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/social-discuss
