Working on an intro article for Mastodon in light of the latest peak in signups

Does anyone have the exact specification as to which and who's statuses you're supposed to see on the federated timeline?

Heyyy, @purism is this even someone who works at your company in the photo? https://puri.sm/about/

>The Librem 5 is not Intel-based, it is based on an i.MX 8M chipset, so we don’t need coreboot nor the Management Engine. The chipset will be completely free software without any binaries whatsoever!

...I think they a word somewhere

I love how @purism has like...one mention of Librem One on their website and it's a link to a news post by datingnews.com

Cannot wrap my head around my partner feeling bad for leaving their current employer for another when they're stuck for at least 15 minutes past the end of their shift every day to pick up slack that other folks should be able to handle.

Like...they're clearly being taken advantage of, and they're not paying the overtime either.

Please boost^^

I think it also helps me my constant need for structure.

I forgot how fun it is to write in org-mode :P

Does anyone know a good article that describes the benefits and drawbacks of decentralization in the context of technology, like social media and servers?

Would like a concrete article to link to and haven't written one myself. Please not from Medium.

More and more I'm getting to realize the divide and conquer tactics that certain media outlets and political pundits employ and the more and more I wonder how folks 20 years older than me still fall victim to them.
