Did we ever get an update from the actual dude?

He his contributions have been more than Goodenough. Rest in peace!

Startpage still seem to give me good search results despite using Google index itself. I guess a lack filter bubble have its own benefits.

As a user of the fediverse, I appreciate you for doing this.

Just wanted to let you all know that the federation with kbin.social is working fine.

But Telegram also have access to more info about its users, considering that messages are not end to end encrypted by default, than Signal does of its. This means that Telegram can share any data it wants, its users are just hoping that it won't. In the case of Signal, they don't have access to any meaningful data in the first place. Also leaving these here:

They are adorable!

The chances for that looks bleak as it never had much viewership despite being a great series

Yep! And several EU agencies have set up their own Mastodon instances for the same reason.

Please let me know as well

We can only speculate. I wish they at least release a graphic novel or something to end the story.

Going to copy paste the response I made when this was posted in a different community:

When the Twitter migration happened, a lot of folks got overenthusiastic about the idea of the fediverse and started setting up their own Mastodon instances, despite having little to no experience with selfhosting before.

A lot of such instances have since shut down as they realised the amount of efforts that actually needs into hosting such a platform, especially instances with open registrations. However, a large number of them did survive and are now thriving.

Has the growth rate slowed? Sure, just like it is expected happen after a sudden influx. But it is false to say that Mastodon growth has stalled. Instead, the phrase I would use is 'stabilized'. Mastodon growth has stabilized into a healthy level as user growth is now happening more organically. Some stats below:

12,808,214 accounts +217,864 in the last week

Stats on most active instances:

How can anyone look at these numbers and say that the growth has stalled?

Yep! https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/7/23157925/raised-by-wolves-canceled-hbo-max-warner-bros-discovery

Hell yeah, fuck cancer!

Raised by Wolves, and Colony.

Firefox ftw!

Yeah, it should be mostly just piles of rubble now..

I have subscribed to the news and worldnews magazines in kbin.social, lemmy.world, Lemmy.ml and Beehaw, along with the Ukraine one in sopuli.xyz. I am getting all the latest updates right here in my feed. I also follow the #Russia hashtag on Mastodon, and has also added it to my favourite hashtags tab on Tusky (Mastodon app). I am getting faster updates than what I used to get on Twitter and Reddit.

There are reports of gunfire at half-way between Rostov and Moscow already. But yeah, I don't think they will manage to reach close to Moscow within a day https://nitter.net/igorsushko/status/1672434377425551361#m

Without the Wagner group, Russia will have much lesser professional troops on their side. And this entire thing could also have a severe impact on the morale of the soldiers.
