Has anybody done an academic survey, with goals, pros, cons of each?
@Nobabs27 I can't tell if I can favorite people's toots by going to their profile either...

So I have found several blogs talking about the linuxrocks outage. Most were in frustration of the outage and thinking we just up and shutdown. Rest assure we have no plans to go anywhere. If we did there will be much conversation and with opportunities to pass the instance on to someone else if we did decide to walk away. We all know no one is immune from outages even Amazon and Google has seen their fair shares the best we can do is learn from them and prepare best we can.
What are some good PeerTube instances that have active admins, no upload limit, and nothing nsfw on the front page?
I need to start keeping better track of all the #ActivityPub implementations being developed. 😛
Apparently a dark theme/design for Halcyon is in the works, as per their blog post:
