@jameschip @liaizon I love it on my phone! DavX for contacts and calendars, I automatically suck photos recordings etc up using the official client, and use nextcloud notes for text. My biggest issue is bookmarks, but Floccus is an option.
@Eccehom sensational!!!
Another reason to keep using Firefox, or to start using it if you don't already or have moved away: https://www.ghacks.net/2023/04/17/firefox-may-interact-with-cookie-prompts-automatically-soon/

The purpose of Substack is
1. to make investors money and
2. keep journalists siloed, fragmented and controllable
@abogical @atomicpoet for sure it could be added to your profile, but building it into the protocol would considerably increase the convenience and therefore uptake of the feature. It could be seamless. Someone posts something you enjoy? Boost and/or like, bookmark for later, or just click another icon to tip. Infinitely better than the paywall model. I'd like to show my support directly, so creators know exactly what it was that moved me.
@abogical @atomicpoet Mastodon doesn't even adhere to most of ActivityPub standards, it wouldn't be hard to add a property that lets clients know your wallet ID and another property to describe the ID... The ability to do something with this could be built into official clients, or if a standard or consensus appeared then by third party clients. How is that anything like a centralised service like Patreon?
@abogical @atomicpoet Crypto is not inherently evil, nor are all coins are bad... Blockchain and ActivityPub are both distributed technologies with similar goals, and fairly tech savvy communities. There are people doing wonderful things in the ActivityPub space who deserve to be rewarded, and crypto is a frictionless way to do this (providing transfer fees are minimal, which is why I put forward the option of a new coin, tho maybe ETH/ERC-20 - see Reddit Moons - or even BTC could work)
@atomicpoet why hasn't this been done? It seems that ActivityPub is a perfect candidate for bolting on some tip jar type functionality, and based on my naive understanding, money might be made there by either providing the service (as a third party) or owning the coin (if baked into the protocol).
@wjmaggos or be able to pay the users directly, with the option to share to some with the host
@jorijn@toot.community agree! @Gargron @atomicpoet
@dirt loving your pictures. Inspiring stuff, you have a great eye
@atomicpoet if only more people followed this general advice of only being opinionated on issues they actually know about, and are affected by. Thank you for being a good example

@samlitzinger you're only now beginning to lose faith in some of those organisations?

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. - Anaïs Nin
@lolennui waaaaaay overdue. Not only would it remove the stress of having to care about things that aren't even your problem to begin with, it might mean less people sticking their nose in where it is not needed. Win/Win if you ask me...
