New Web App!
I had something very similar ages ago called Artsly, and I always wanted to remake it using JavaScript. And now I have, so here it is, there are two hosted versions, but I recommend the Netlify one.

If you are interested/can, please help out, it'd be such a shame to see a great distro disappear or become undeveloped.

I'm working on a blog post about Mastodon and a generic overview of the Fediverse on whole, any ideas or misconceptions you think should be addressed?

    LinuxGamer,

    @GossiTheDog when is Twitter not having issues... But yes, there is still issues with the rate limiting.

    Well it looks like I'm no longer following accounts from floss.social on this instance. (Pleroma and Misskey can't talk either) This is a bit crazy as they haven't blocked that many instances in the past, though they did suspend accounts for no reason.

    @splitshockvirus followed many accounts over on that instance too, and many popular accounts did follow us. That must mean gleasonator must've finally been cut off too as well, as well as leafposter.

    It's likely they imported the Tier 0 list from Oliphant, which this instance must be on. It's likely this will accelerate the splitting of the Mastodon Network even further.

    This is who I've just been cut off from, just to name a few:
    @ademalsasa
    @qt
    @GTK
    @xfce
    @xubuntu
    @forgejo
    @forgefed
    @WoodpeckerCI
    @FreeRCT
    @fdroidorg
    @IzzyOnDroid
    @GIMP
    @kde
    @kdenlive
    @omgubuntu
    @gnome
    @9to5linux
    @XOrgFoundation

    And last but not least, two of our own:
    @jamesp
    @linuxgamer

    so @LinuxGamer you've been cut off from your own account on floss.social. Looks like you'll have to use @CJLinuxGamer instead.

    What's unfortunate about this is that most of the people on this instance didn't really do anything wrong, and we're now being cut off from one of the fastest-growing FOSS instances on Mastodon, which even KDE and GNOME are on, and even x.org just joined! And even if they ran their own instances (Xorg could've done it, and I even ran a poll for KDE), they probably would've used the blocklist anyway.

    So I'm glad I moved to linuxrocks.online, because unfortunately I might not be able to use this account the same way I used to anymore. I remember us being cut off from oldbytes.space and mas.to, and I was able to tell because I make backups of my following list. I knew that a large familiar Mastodon instance was eventually gonna cut us off, so I'm glad I moved just in time.

    (The rest of this post will be mainly personal account meta, so you can skip to the end.)

    I'm glad I can still make this post on glitch-soc despite my account showing as migrated. But who knows how long that's going to last as the network is splitting. The amount of neutral instances that aren't affected is going down as the network is splitting.

    Honestly this sucks for . Most of us did nothing wrong but this is what we have to deal with. The good news is that we'll represent the side of the fediverse that didn't give into this crap, even if we had to pay the price. I wished I could save this instance, but I fear it's too late and others have moved on and accepted what's happened.

    The reason I no longer treat this account as my primary account is because I was able to move to another Mastodon server, and by remaining on Mastodon I feel as I would be contributing to the Mastodon Network, despite us using the glitch-soc fork. I kept my alts on Pleroma and Misskey, because Starnix runs other servers too.

    I am mainly active on the Pleroma instance as @james but you are still free to use Mastodon if you'd like since it's free software. But I don't really care as much as I used to about being on the local timeline anymore, so you won't be seeing me there much anymore, except in rare cases like this post.

    The fate of this account is still up in the air. I may revive it since I like the glitch-soc interface, or I may leave it in the dust because I no longer support Mastodon. I do run my own Pleroma instance, and Starnix also has a Pleroma instance, so I'll probably remain there instead.

    Anyway, R.I.P. floss.social, as well as this instance being a first-class citizen on the Mastodon Network.

    P.S. So much for Michael Downey deciding to ban innocent FOSS accounts from other servers. I'm glad he doesn't have to see this post.

    LinuxGamer,

    @charlie_root @CJLinuxGamer @LinuxGamer @10leej @splitshockvirus @CJLinuxGamer @james that's stupid, punishing people for federating with "scum", if someone didn't do it themselves them don't do anything about them... Sometimes the big instance admins are real dumb

    Trying a simple new redesign on my website... Going for a real simple and minimalistic design.

    https://linuxgamer.codeberg.page/home.html
    I kinda like it.

    LinuxGamer,

    @james yes, it will be, once I've finished working on it, because I already have an index.html this is just a name so I can develop it.

    LinuxGamer,

    This is now the default homepage on my website.

    LinuxGamer,

    @david don't worry, it's going to change soon. I've given up Edge sucks

    LinuxGamer,

    @david I shall do :)

    @Codeberg Codeberg.org is down right now. It would be nice to know what is causing this and when will Codeberg.org be available again.

    LinuxGamer,

    @nmouplus @Codeberg I think it must've been a local issue, cos here in UK I've had it up all day.

    james2, to random

    LinuxGamer,

    @icon_of_computational_sin I've never actually tried Emacs (well I did, didn't work it into my workflow yet though).

    LinuxGamer, to random

    Got 101 followers here now, thanks to @splitshockvirus for being # 100. And of course thanks to all my followers.

    LinuxGamer, to random

    LinuxGamer,

    Scrap that, can't get my username working there :( I'll keep trying.
