10 years ago, I spent 70€ to buy the procrastinat.io domain.
I planned to make something funny out of it. I had plenty of idea.
It ended expiring without pointing to anything meaningful…
The Fediverse allows you to reach real people who care.
Commercial social network allows you to get (fake) vanity metrics against money.
When a person, an institution or a company tells you that "Mastodon is not working" or "There are not enough people on Mastodon", what they are truly saying is what they are looking for.
And is not to reach real people who care.
#Mozilla has announced that they are closing their Mastodon instance.
But at least, they are hiring a lot, which is nice.
Like:
- Machine Learning Engineer, Gen AI
- Principal Product Manager, Generative AI
- Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Gen AI
- …
Wait, are they hiring for something else than AI ?
Glad you asked:
- Senior Staff Software Engineer, Ads
- Client Analytics Manager
- Product Policy Manager, Ads
- …
Do you remember we joked how each year was successively awful with COVID, wars, flood, fires, etc
Well, I’ve just learned that there will be a "This is Spinal Tap II" next year so 2025 will officially be awesome.
Pfiou, il a eu chaud Macron. Avec Lucie Castets, il a cru un moment qu’il serait forcer à faire des trucs inacceptables comme la revalorisation du service public et la lutte contre la corruption.
Mais tout est bien qui finit bien. On va revenir aux fondamentaux : casser du pédé en traitant les pauvres d’assistés.
En Belgique, on vote puis tous les partis prétendent avoir gagné. Pendant des mois, ça discute de coalitions pour former un gouvernement. Parfois même avant les prochaines élections.
En France, c’est plus facile. Les Français·e·s votent puis on balance les urnes à la mer sans les ouvrir et c’est le président de la république qui nomme un premier ministre.
2021:
— Come to Mastodon.
— No, It’s too complicated.
2022:
— Leave Twitter and come to Mastodon, it’s easy now.
— People I want to follow are not there.
2023:
— Leave X and come to Mastodon, here are the accounts you want to follow.
— They have less engagement.
2024:
— Leave X and come to Mastodon, here are the accounts you want to follow with more engagement than on X.
— I’m on Bluesky now. There’s not a lot of people nor engagement, it was a bit hard to sign up but I like it.
It’s been years since I deleted all my social accounts beside Mastodon. And decades of using only Linux.
I’m reading in the news that Windows is crashing or forcing ads onto users. That Twitter became X and is a shit show. That millions of Meta accounts have once again been hacked. That people using web service FOO feels cheated since it was bought by BAR.
And it feels like reading about an earthquake in a distant country. Must be terrible for those poor people.
Let’s sip my hot cup of tea.
"Le mercredi, je vais en vélo au travail"
Twitter: T’es contaminé par le wokisme ? Tu vas aussi changer de sexe ?
Linkedin : L’écologie est importante pour notre entreprise de 3000 personnes qui vient de mettre en place un parking pour deux vélos.
Facebook : Moi aussi j’aime le vélo, j’en ai fait une fois en 1974, c’était chouette.
Instagram : Hey, voici un crowdfunding pour des super chaussettes de vélo à 35€.
Mastodon : Quoi ? Tu vas en voiture le reste du temps ? Tu détruis la planète !
