Alright I'm ready to officially introduce:

https://fediverse.town/

Fediverse town is a #forum for any discussion related to the #fediverse.
Go check it out and me one of the first people to start a discussion there.

There is now a frontend proxy app for Wikipedia.
Called Wikiless. You can visit it at : https://wikiless.org/

Project page can be found here : https://codeberg.org/orenom/Wikiless

It's often assumed that because Twitter has a larger userbase than the Fediverse, that accounts would automatically get more followers there.

However, many accounts (especially FOSS projects) have more followers here on the Fediverse.

Some examples (as of 26th July 2021):

@fdroidorg has 10.8k vs 7.33k on Twitter

@k9mail has 1.57k vs 680 on Twitter

@Minetest has 1.39k vs 785 on Twitter

If you know any Libre projects that are yet to join the Fedi, please ask them to give it a go!

#Twitter

Oof.

Now, tell me again why we can't have numbering which lets us allocate a unique number to a service? (I give a spam number, but I'd still prefer a decent-sized number block.)

QT mruef: Full phone number database of #Clubhouse is up for sale on the #Darknet. It contains 3.8 billion phone numbers. These are not just members but also people in contact lists that were synced. Chances are high that you are listed even if you haven't had a Clubhouse login.

The International Handball Federation fined a Norwegian women’s team for not showing enough skin: https://www.thelily.com/forced-to-play-in-panties-the-norwegian-beach-handball-team-decided-theyd-had-enough/

Can we have a sport without sex-specific rules forcing the women’s event to be soft core porn? Sheesh.

@OCRbot

#MastoAdmin Are any other admins with application signups enabled noticing a spike in spambots? We're getting a surprising amount of attention over here. Easy enough to reject, but I still wish there was something to block that'd just make them disappear.
Also, what's even the point of these phrases? "Licensed Frozen Gloves" seems like a very mad startup idea.
(Fantastic rubber bacon, though? I'd buy that!)

Goodbye #Amaroq and thank its contributors for creating a great app for Mastodon and Pleroma too.

what my girlfriend thought dating a software engineer would be like: "honey, I got an AI robot maid to do all our cooking for us"

what dating a software engineer is actually like: "if that microwave connects to the internet we're heating all our food with a blowtorch from now on"
