Dumpster fire still burning. Throwing gas on the flames did not fix the problem. News at 11.

You add years upon years of value, get nothing more than a sense of fulfillment while they get paid, and get booted out.

I’m sorry, man. That has to sting.

Yeah that’s my only concern and why I stick with the major instances, for now. I know monetization for the sake of running the services is going to have to come at some point. I’m sure we’ll see a bunch of variations and approaches and I hope people are open to the ideas. I want the fediverse to grow and, for that to happen, we need to make sure it’s sustainable for the people who choose to help prop it up.

We need to understand, though, that the Fediverse is going to undergo similar changes and struggles. People aren’t going to want to pay to run servers, forever, and there will be lost servers and ones that suddenly have ads or subscription fees.

Granted, this creates competition and it’ll be better for the end user, but the utopia of Mastodon and KBin is going to be challenged by the crappy, but very real, realities of the world.

One time, at a previous job, the security guard walked into the restroom and saw a customer doing this. He threw him out before he had ANY chance to wipe.

I think about that more often than I should and it was over a decade ago.

God only challenges his true warriors and I’m going to persevere and call the doctor myself to make this appointment.

First thing I did. Makes it a little more app like. Still can’t wait to see what clients get released in the next few months.
