A reminder that Mastodon and the Fediverse do NOT use cryptocurrency, blockchains, NFTs, tokens, coins, mining, web3 or anything like that.

Masto and the Fedi run on traditional servers and use a sustainable network federation model somewhat similar to e-mail (that's why Fediverse addresses look similar to e-mail addresses).

Also a reminder there are no venture capital firms or other investors either. No one owns the network, each server is independent. Masto and Fedi server running costs are paid by their owners, sometimes with donations from users.

No one is getting rich from the Fediverse, it is all volunteers with some getting donations and a few getting modest grants from foundations. Please remember this when you interact with admins or developers.

(There might be some individual users who post about cryptocurrency/blockchain, but the infrastructure this place runs on doesn't use it at all.)

Tl:dr - Decentralisation does NOT mean cryptocurrency/blockchain

Me: "Do you backup your data daily?"

My favourite swipe typo of the day: "Norse cancelling headphones". Presumably that means Bluetooth is turned off.

#HiveTime v1.2-119 is now live, with a fix for a possible crash when a chat bee enters the conga line while sleeping. Apologies to anybody affected!

Some more #fractals. Feel free to use for anything :)

Made in JWildfire on Linux.

TIL:
- my on screen keyboard doesn't appear on the lock screen
- there's apparently no screen reader installed by default on Debian 11
- searching for screen reader in Discover (the software store) comes up with a comic book reader and a PDF reader for dual screen presentations
- and yet, searching for orca comes up with the screen reader

Shout out to two of the people who encouraged me (a sighted person) to explore what accessibility is like.

I'd like to find more opportunities to share what Owncast is up to with people who would be interested in such things.

Do you know of any Podcasts, YouTube channels or blogs who would be interested in talking about independent, open source live streaming?

I'd love it if you could suggest Owncast as a topic to your favorite content creators!

@gamingonlinux It does kinda all suck, I wish these folks would be as proactive about promoting #Fediverse stuff as they are about chiding people for what they perceive as—subjective—bad behaviour.

Bit of a newsflash: some people seem to think Mastodon is *only* for people who don't like company / service X, Y, Z.

Guess what? Mastodon is for everyone and anyone.

Don't confuse your thoughts, with those of everyone else.

When we advertise that we're available on Discord, Telegram, Google News etc it's not a suggestion that those are *only* where we are, or that they are the *best*.

Some people need to get a grip.

Stream's up! Come and get it while it's hot!
