Not compatible with GNOME 49/50? :-(

Really impressed with the way they keep building this out.

wow, cool! I just watched episode 4 last night, so this is timely!

absolutely agreed. It is all connected with Bandwagon (which federates) and Mirlo etc.

BTW when The Indie Beat Radio came along, I made a GNOME extension for that. I should add a link to TIB TV to the extension, but I haven’t gotten around to that yet.

Here is a partial list.

That may have been some time ago? The team has been larger than just Eugen for quite a while now. In terms of “won’t be compatible with the majority of AP implementations”, is there a specific PR that has been changed to make something incompatible? I’m not sure I understand what you are describing. I’d love to know where we can improve, here.

read https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/11/my-next-chapter-with-mastodon/ and https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/11/the-future-is-ours-to-build-together/

nope.

We are big fans of them!

Absolutely. In fact I wrote exactly that last year.

Completely agree that this “feels like” a centralisation vector. That’s not the intent of it, and if you read the blog post we make it clear that we want many Mastodon servers, everywhere, rather than one organisation hosting them all. This is to do two things - 1) get us a more sustainable financial foundation that is less dependent on grant cycles and 2) enable the larger institutions (EU Commission being an existing example) to get set up on the Fediverse.

Can confirm there are no plans for this to happen or be attempted. We’re getting the new European non-profit worked out (more news soon), no changes to the licensing.

pretty sure the answer is no, specific hardware only.

The plan is to fully implement this by Mastodon 4.5 later in the year.

That is the plan, you can see more in our previous blog post.

I moved from Evernote to Joplin a number of years ago, and now self-host the Joplin server and use Joplin on all of my devices. Great app. I’m afraid I can’t help with the migration from that to something else, though!

The upcoming 4.4 release has a generator based on a template, which was this one. We will look into whether we need to put that feature on hold from the 4.4 release while we work through this, however, yes the idea is that there would be a template set of terms that any instance could customise and adopt.

Perhaps not, perhaps so, but we do have other folks offering support and we will do what we can to get to a better situation here.

Legal stuff is complicated and we’re not all, always, experts at everything. FWIW https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/114709820512537821

No, we did not (nor did we use any other AI tool).
