@cassidyjames I don't suppose something like this might be up your ally?

btw, for anyone else that had used Mozilla Firefox for a ridiculously long time before its decline, check out "Pale Moon".
It forked before they switched to the WebExtensions framework, and it's a real nostalgia trip. π€
(Seriously, I let out little shrieks of joy when I noticed they still had Ambassador, FoxClocks & Live Bookmarks. That was a fun experiment)
@sanspoint I can certainly agree with that.
In fact that's what I did with my website https://ChrisWere.uk and not to blow my own trumpet, but I think it's quite spiffing.
@sanspoint Round these Fediverse parts, I think most people would agree with that.
controversial technology opinion
I seem to be in the minority here but a web page should be able to load its content without needing JavaScript. If your page only loads an empty wireframe without JavaScript, youβve failed at the web. Bare minimum, load the fucking content. If itβs being pulled dynamically, do that server side and then generate a damn page.
Mozilla Foundation: "Firefox is the protector of the open web πͺ "
Mozilla Corporation: "Let's spend over a decade pissing all the Google search money up the wall, annoy Firefox users with monetised features they didn't ask for, and give ourselves generous bonuses for doing both of those things π€"
Mozilla Foundation in 2021: "Right... we're still defending 3.8% of the web. That's something, I guess? π€·ββοΈ "
I want to make a blog and I'm thinking #writeas or #writefreely because of #federation support.
Any reasons why a vps solution is better than the pro plan they give?
Mastodon uses the same technical standards as many other alternative social networks, so people on one network can follow people on others. This "network of networks" is called the Fediverse
β You can follow people from other parts of the Fediverse just like you would follow any Mastodon account!
Try it out for yourself:
@jett1oeil is an account on Instagram alternative PixelFed
@chriswere is an account on YouTube alternative PeerTube
@Matthieu Snopyta.org is a pretty cool place for XMPP (and other FOSSy things).
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops the XMPP/Jabber instant messaging and voice/video calling standards. You can follow them at:
β‘οΈ @xmpp
The official site is https://xmpp.org
It's a free open standard, so anyone can use it in their software and hardware.

@FediFollows @snikket_im @mattj This looks like a really awesome FOSS project. I'd love t see it in action.
Snikket is a new XMPP/Jabber-based decentralised FOSS messenger service. You can follow at:
β‘οΈ @snikket_im
The official website is https://snikket.org
It aims to make XMPP into a more viable alternative to Whatsapp etc by providing consistency in design and terminology.
(It's sort of how Mastodon made ActivityPub more mainstream, by using consistency to make it clear the instances are part of one network.)
