Is there anyone with a lot of cash who'd like to partner with me to support this Mastodon server? This server is, and will always be, free. But besides the time, it costs about $186/month. With my other federated servers, my monthly cost is really high. If you can comfortably donate to be a […]

The usage of #Lemmy is extremely small, even among #Mastodon users, who already understand and like the advantages of decentralized platforms. Why is that? #fediverse

My first company, Opera, was built on word of mouth. The same applies to my 2nd company, @Vivaldi. We have never had the means that Big Tech has. In the case of Vivaldi, we have even avoided investors, to not end up like Opera. We have also made it harder for our selves. We likely could have […]

"Mastodon sucks." Every last bit of Fedi is built by members of your community trying to provide a space to people for free, often at great expense to themselves. This isn't some social network we just rolled up and started using, we built it. I wish more people understood that before they slam it.

A red text-based public artwork by Frank Riot displayed in a JCDecaux advertising panel outside Holborn Station in London, UK. The poster reads: “When you’ve got rid of all the mosques but the costs of life still rise and you’ve built your fortressed borders but the NHS still dies and the Muslims are all gone and your town’s a wall of white but corporate vultures are still pillaging every facet of our lives who will you blame then? What will you have gained? A badge for barbarism against a backdrop of decay.” Pedestrians walk past the bus shelter on a busy city street.

Wow, that hits hard. A storm hit New Zealand every eight days on average in the last year. Insurance claims more than tripled. This is the #climatecrisis and it will get much worse — but how much worse, is still up to us.

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted, and 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050. Keep going with this, Paris.
