Fediverse

oh today was 30C? I don't even notice anymore...

@danieldk they're a pain to set up, and were probably always a hack? but this is culture!

@kleisli Yeah, compared to major/corporate social media platforms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_platforms_by_monthly_active_users), the fediverse and the Atmosphere are definitely pretty close in terms of the size.

@kleisli Well https://fedidb.com/stats reports 1.2M active *monthly* users, which would be compared with the "4.5M Unique users active in the last 30 days" metric.

So, still quite a bit higher, especially if a sizable portion of the active fediverse accounts are hashtag bots.

the issue is, i don't want to learn anything anymore. i just want it to work

Du weisst ja selber: Manchmal hat man Glück, manchmal aber nicht. Bei dieser Aufnahme hatte ich Glück!

@alice I had an Ultima Online phase where I was basically online every evening until late at night on an unofficial server; the only way to break out was getting into the server side scripting gig. As soon as gaming turned into programming, I stopped playing altogether.

🎵 Death Cab for Cutie at Greek Theatre Los Angeles #indierock

(2026-08-03) I've seen Death Cab for Cutie seven times now and they, without fail, put on an awesome show every single time. The band has undeniable chemistry, Ben Gibbard's voice is incredible and they always pick a great setlist. For this show in particular I was hoping they'd play "Punching the Flowers" off I Built You a Tower and...

@CoolSWEng Well the fediverse might not be doing much better.

A lot of the recent increase in "activity" is thanks to https://fedidb.com/servers/tags.pub.

@maique Nice!!! For both of you…

@jonty well, it turns out you only have one week to use a RM international standard label (which they helpfully do not tell you while you buy it, or my overheated brain missed it), so that's nice

@indyradio Ah, interesting, thank you for sharing that!

@spectrumgirl

@david_bardos aww thanks!

@YaLTeR i use nextcloud auto upload feature for that. If you only care about pictures there are probably better things out there. I like the person behind pikapods which makes hosting of these services effortless: https://www.pikapods.com/apps#photos

@mikester That would be awful. Hopefully they're right and no one was inside when it started.

@zcutlip their offering was already more expensive than DeepSeek's official API, not benefiting from the initial 75% OFF campaign (pic 1). I did not mind, and I did not ask them to provide service for the same price.

DeekSeep is an open-weights model and can have 3rd-party hosting. Second pic is TensorX, EU-hosted, zero data retention. More expensive, but still cheap. Also, DeepSeek themselves will soon double prices in "peak hours".
