Important stuff first: FTO will be de-federating from universeodon no sooner than a week from now, and once Facebook/Meta announce more details about Threads/P92 we’ll be blocking them as well. As usual, here’s our financial situation:
| Month | Cost |
|---|---|
| November 2022 | $26.06 |
| December 2022 | $8.73 |
| January 2023 | $4.75 |
| February 2023 | $0.19 |
| March 2023 | $0.00 |
| April 2023 | $0.00 |
| May 2023 | $0.00 |
| June 2023 | $0.00* |
And here’s the requisite plug of FtB’s instance and instructions on how to join. I should also mention I added the phanpy UI to our instance. It comes with a lot of useful features, like a “boost carousel” and grouped notifications which make browsing a more pleasant experience. It also supports multiple accounts, none of which have to be on FTO. I’m a big fan. Phanpy has its downsides, but I want to save them for a future review of Mastodon clients.
In the meantime, let’s talk about some recent controversies on the Fediverse.
