It’s much more powerful though. Based on Org-Mode.

Seems pretty cool! I have to try it out. Thanks for sharing.

Mastodon simply is a different thing than X/Bluesky. It’s more like RSS/Blog/IRC. It will never go mainstream unless they add (opt out) algorithms and a better search functionality. But maybe that’s just not worth it. Mastodon has already lost to Bluesky when it comes to being an open mainstream Twitter replacement.

I’m curious about if it’s even technically possible to build something federated that feels like a Twitter replacement, using the ActivityPub protocol.

Not much. Except for less competent leadership short term. And probably more forks long term.

My guess is that Threads implementation and Meta capital is necessary if ActivityPub and fediverse is to ever go mainstream. Mastodon just sucks too much and Threads might introduce some healthy competition that will make Mastodon survive long term.

I have no ideological problem with this. I believe that for-profit and non-profit complement each other. I’m a Social Democrat after all.

And I’m really annoyed by Mastodon instances that block Threads content. That’s just so extremely stupid from a fediverse strategy and a content quality perspective.

Yeah, it pretty much sucks for mainstream microblogging. Good as RSS replacement though.

People here need to realize that 90% of the microbloggers don’t give a fuck about decentralization or FOSS. They want something that works and doesn’t force them into a ketamine fuled nazi oligarchy delirium. Mastodon doesn’t work for normal people. It kind of works if you’re a FOSS nerd or some kind of fediverse idealist. (It works for me, because it doesn’t drag me into endless flame wars and I’m almost only following FOSS accounts).

My experience with Lemmy is that it is much more functional as in “Reddit replacement”. There are of course super few users, but it feels active and engaging (for better or worse). So in theory, maybe it could be a replacement.

But Mastodon has never been a “Twitter replacement”. It feels more like a fancy RSS client. Search, feeds and interactions just doesn’t work very well.

Because Mastodon basically suck unless you know what you’re doing?

Maybe try something different? A strategy game perhaps?

Or you might actually need a dopamine detox in combination with practicing a more rewarding and sustainable hobby. Read a book or start a project if some sort.

It could also be that you’re experiencing a depression.

Seems keebart are based in Germany. https://www.keebart.com/

No, I mean Cornwall. I’m all about Cornwall.

Exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you.

Yeah, I don’t really know anything about plastics and I don’t want to know. Just as I don’t want to know anything about flame retardants and lead escaping from cheap ebay electronics. That’s why a I want a fat and expensive CE stamp. TCO would be great as well.

I believe they only sell parts and kits.

Awesome! Thanks!
