@justine@bsd.cafe of course we can! I’ll create the account later today, as soon as I’ll be home and will send you (privately) the login details

@justine@bsd.cafe @grunfink@comam.es I’m using the web interface, Enafore and Tusky, depending on my workstation/task.
Spinning your own instance can be a nice experience and I’d normally encourage it but I don’t want you to abandon the BSD Cafe 😉
Joking, of course. Running snac on the BSDs is a joy. And when the move (both in and out) will be implemented, I’m expecting many more users trying snac

@normis@s.dodies.lv @justine@bsd.cafe yes, I can confirm that Mastodon seems to stick with the @ mention, and fails to always understand when this is missing. Tusky is adding it itself, so using Tusky with snac will produce a Mastodon-like behavior

@justine@bsd.cafe @normis@s.dodies.lv Interesting. I’ll try to test it further

@Tionisla@bsd.cafe yes, she knows my taste 🙂

@givesomefucks@lemmy.world I believe there has been a misunderstanding: no one is saying we should go back to websites, but rather to open social platforms where users can have control over their own data, which is exactly what the Fediverse is about. And this is precisely why I say that, even if an instance doesn’t generate enough engagement (see what happened with the official Swiss instance, which was shut down on 30 September), this communication channel should still be maintained.
So I think we are on the same wavelength…

@givesomefucks@lemmy.world …what Mastodon, Lemmy, Gotosocial, snac2, etc. are. - from my point of view.

@EnigmaRotor@bsd.cafe as it’s been for the Swiss government, they just look at the “numbers” or “engagement”. And we’re not so many, comparing to X or other platforms.
Still, I think a public entity (or similar) shouldn’t look at the numbers but at the service and its peculiarities.

@NafiTheBear@bears.town yes, this is a great example

@ben@m.benui.ca It depends - maybe Matrix, or Mattermost, or anything open source and that you can self host
