traversable instance<p>I am sort of caught between wanting to watch the disaster unfold, realizing my presence on the bird site is something I am becoming increasingly uncomfortable with, and not totally sold on the viability of Mastodon in specific or the Fediverse as general model. What do I want from social media shifts often, but I follow a lot of tech folks and I have had good exchanges and gotten wind of some interesting projects-and I worry that I won’t have those chance exposures often enough here.</p>

Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf<p>My view: The climate loss&amp;damage fund should also be filled by those companies who knowingly sell a dangerous product and actively mislead the public about the risks and lobby against climate policy. Precedent is the tobacco companies’ case.</p>

traversable instance<p>It’s hopefully nothing, but Trump back on Twitter doesn’t seem like its going to go well I think for anyone, regardless of how they voted</p>
traversable instance<p>Wondering if all those sites with social logins are going to craft a remediation strategy for users in case Twitter unexpectedly shuts down (personally I think the odds are lower than the general vibe on the bird site or here). I know I use a few such logins, and could probably figure out which ones i need to change though I’d rather be actively informed.</p>

traversable instance<p>Hi, I was playing around with the mastodon api, and it claims in the OAuth section that it supports the password grant flow, but the endpoint `/oauth/token` only seems to accept grant types of authorization_code or client_credentials. Anybody had any experience using the password flow, unlike Twitter there’s no public search</p>

Ross A. BakerSummary vs. Content Warning
traversable instance<p>For reasons I can’t fully explain-posts like these make me irrationally angry. The OP here is talking about ex employees of the bird app cloning it somehow. I think in this case it’s a combination of the breezy arrogance and the phrase “a database to model many-to-many” is what’s setting me off here</p>
