I really dislike when people at work start a text chat by writing "hi" and then waiting for me to reply before making their request or asking a question.

Get over the formalities.. I just want to know how long it takes to help you so I can decide whether I should answer now or later..

As #Signal has had severe problems recently due to its centralised nature, here are some decentralised libre alternatives with Fediverse accounts:

➡️ @snikket_im - Initiative to give XMPP a consistent look and feel on instances and apps, to make it more attractive to new users

➡️ @xmpp - XMPP standards foundation

➡️ @delta - Decentralised messaging through email

➡️ @matrix - Best known for the Element client

➡️ @briar - Peer-to-peer encrypted messaging

➡️ @Jami - Peer-to-peer Skype alternative

Our official #Android App hit the #FDroid store. Get it now! https://f-droid.org/packages/audio.funkwhale.ffa/

Gitea has just joined the Fediverse on their very own instance, you can follow them here:

#mastoadmin Is there any reasonably simple way to find out which languages are most used by users on your instance? It would make it easier to understand which languages you need to try and source moderators for.

@judeswae @squirke It is utterly ridiculous that this app has to exist 🤣

Recently I did a little blog post about distro hopping being good for me and satisfying urges I have that would otherwise be funneled into spending a bunch of money.

It's been 4000 years since March 2020 feel old yet

Sometimes taking care of the hard things is self care. Get them done and you'll free yourself of that stress.
