@ConnyDuck Richard Stallman DESTROYS Gab fanboys with FACTS and LOGIC

@asaka @kaikatsu @dansup It's quite ironic that someone would spread such blatant misinformation

No, Mastodon is not looking into implementing Eunomia. Nor will any entity decide what is fake news and what's not.

@gabek Let's see.

> features that only work within a single silo

Wrong, polls federate.

> Why?

Because it's the 6th most requested feature and Misskey already has them

> Then everybody, everywhere has to build support for them, too, to be compatible

Misskey already has them

> Just because @Gargron wants to be like Twitter.

Pee pee poo poo

@aral The last paragraph is my comment and the first is the headline of the linked article. I do not say "Fuck Facebook" because of how much they take, although it is a ripoff. They also take perpetual IP rights over anything you upload there. Fuck Facebook

@alxd Well, the old documentation is still up, I did not delete it. And yes, I have added and improved the documentation based on your requests! Without someone asking, I do not know which questions need answering.

If you have submitted patches (or translations) to Mastodon before and they've become part of the software, you can go here:

https://opencollective.com/mastodon/expenses/new

And submit an invoice for your work ?

Why has mastodon.social gone invite-only two weeks ago? I grew tired of it being used as a hallway, where people enter, make a mess, then move on. It is my home, and I've put a lot into keeping it fast, secure and up-to-date.

Being invite-only means safer timelines, primarily, as trolls and people whose first instinct on a new social platform is to upload their uncensored dick have a harder time getting in.

I was going to announce it a bit later and more properly, but Mastodon received a $70k grant from Samsung NEXT through OpenCollective. I intend to make it available to those who contribute to the project, and have already notified some of the most regular contributors. The way OpenCollective works is that anyone can submit an expense and all transactions are listed transparently. It also holds the money.

As for myself, I intend to continue using Patreon for my own wage/costs.
