@[email protected] the “majority” actually voted for someone else or chose not to vote. Only ~30% support this circus.

@[email protected] I don’t know much about this plugin, but I do know it was “aquired” by Automattic… basically meaning that the developer was hired to work for Automattic. I don’t watch every episode of As WP Turns, but in the last episode of that drama I watched I think Matt announced that Automattic was scaling back their contributions to the open source aspects of WP… which would include this plugin.

If you want to see this change, you will likely need to make the request in the form of a PR. If you don’t have the knowledge and skills required to do that (and aren’t willing to invest the time it take to gain that knowledge and skill), I suggest you start being more professional and polite when making requests for the changes you want.

You’ve paid nothing for this code. Have some empathy for the maintainer.

@[email protected] I was just discussing how to add NodeBB comments to Drupal in https://community.nodebb.org/post/103485

There have been 2.5 million WordPress posts pushed to ActivityPub. The engagement on this is near zero, but it is happening.

The MAU number is complete BS. Most of these users don’t even know the WP instance they are logging into gives them a federated presence. Logging into WP makes the use active in the endpoint used to share data with https://fedidb.org/software/wordpress

@[email protected] are you referring to kbin.melroy.org? Don’t let the DNS fool you. Like most Kbin instances, kbin.melroy.org is now running Mbin. In fact, kbin.melroy.org is run be the developer leading the Mbin project. My understanding from following a bitnofnthe Kbin/Mbin drama was that Melroy tried contributing to Kbin, but found Earnest unwilling to collaborate or delegate. If you look at https://fedidb.org/software/mbin, you’ll see many of the large instances that launched with kbin in the URL are actually running Mbin now.

@[email protected] when I joined Pixelfed, I was able to use my fosstodon.org account. Do any of the MBin instance allow that type of cross service authentication yet?

@[email protected] fair point. The Biden recovery wasn’t raising all boats equally, but effort was being made to stimulate job creation in many parts of the economy. Not only have programs and grants that created jobs had their funding disrupted, we are now “potentially” paying 65K of the 2.1 million federal employees not to work for 7 months? I stress “potentially” as Elon made the same offer at Twitter and then just didn’t pay.

The thing about history is if you don’t want your name associated with homeless Trump Towns in every city in America, maybe don’t take a healthy economy and run it into the ground. Maybe don’t let a PE hack who has never built anything like Tom Krause near the institutions the American people rely on.

@[email protected] sometimes it takes letting it play out for people to remember the leason that history could have thaught them. Do your best now to prepare for some tough times. If you own your home outright, get that basement ready for a renter. If you’ve already leveraged 80% of your home, get out from under that NOW and look for a basement to rent.

Read some Steinbeck. Watch Idocracy. Strike up a conversation with the oldest people you cross paths with about what they remember their parents telling them about the great depression. It’s going to suck, but when someone can convince this many Americans to vote against their own interests their is a more fundamental problem.

I personally take a little joy from the interveiws with people laid off who didn’t realize the company they worked for was producing products for federally subsidized clean energy initiatives.

@[email protected] no need to call. @[email protected] is already on a federated social solution with 2.3 million followers. Until the end of 2020, they were also active at @[email protected]. If you want media to prioritize these new, unownable solutions over legacy social, you have to show them there is an audience here and follow them.
