  • I love stux, I have a Mastodon account on one of his instances, and I donate every now and then. he’s a good human being, and his cats are supreme.

    that being said, I feel like sometimes he’s a bit ADHD with his side projects, so he creates one, and then just lets it fizzle out over time while he starts two new ones. goldfish.social was one of them, and it looks like the domain has expired and got bought out by someone else. perhaps it’s his way of learning new stuff, or preventing himself on getting burned out or something - whichever it is, I’m not judging, he’s never making promises that they’re long term commitments anyway. his Masto instances have been solid, on the other hand.

















  • there are some Mastodon instances (like bird.makeup) that mirror posts from Twitter accounts, someone just has to request to mirror each specific account first. technically someone could set up a Pixelfed instance that would do the same with Instagram users, but 1. storage is much more of an issue when it comes to a media-first service, and 2. I bet Meta’s legal team is much more trigger happy than Twitter’s.
