Let us know what you would like to see us write about. And if you are on Mastodon already, we’d appreciate a boost
To those new to Mastodon. It’s a social network that is decentralized, free of Ads, fully in your control, without algorithms. Our server is closed for registrations, but you are welcome to join any community (or run your own server) and follow us from there. Some suggested servers are
I can access all the content on https://mikrotik.social/@mikrotik, which you made to be Administrator only for login
I’m following you from the mastodon.social server, but it doesn’t show all the posts from there (currently 5 of them in total), it only shows 2 of them.
Very sorry to see that the user base will be split even more.
I have seen this on several other forums that I use. Create a social media platform and some people will use that in place of the original forum. Result is that (grabbed numbers out of thin air as an example), 1/3 of the users only use the original forum, 1/3 users only use facecrap (for example), and 1/3 are on both. That means that you just lost 1/3 of the user base (and the resident “experts”. Add another social media platform and it splits even more
CONCUR, There is no need for anything else as their is already a discord channel, and the only advantage of that is to talk to someone about their config as sometimes typing sucks.
If the Discord channel wouldn’t be run by McBurgers, it would’ve been fine, but it’s not fine.
LE: this post was made before the official Discord server was launched, my reply was aimed at one of the unofficial servers, the one with the dumb rules.
User base will not be split. Those people that wanted to leave Twitter, already left. And those that have no objections to the Regime, are still there. MikroTik is just going to where the users are / will be anyway. Social networks are not a replacement for the forum. They are just additional information channels for people that are there.
Fediverse is a play on the words Federated and Univese. It is a way to interconnect many decentralized systems. There is a social network for photos (pixelfed), something like an ad-free facebook (calckey), a microblogging system (mastodon), etc. there are many free and open systems that can be self-hosted. Using the ActivityPub protocol, they are all interconnected. You can read posts from other mastodon servers, follow photos from a Pixelfed server, and read blog entries from writefreely. It’s all decentralized, run by users themselves and does not force ads or other opinions on you by algorithms. No need to be a product to a corporation just to share your thoughts and creative work
is the blog still valid place for security updates? (where to follow, rss still enabled, or are there better places to get notifications, if something goes wrong?)
@Normis
I am FORTRAN-labeled guy … too new, too unknown territories to explore …the most understandable word is “Pub” … “Activity” + “Pub” seems to be very strange combination of words
