It's funny, I don't know what to do with likes/faves on this platform. I feel compelled to do something different than on Twitter, but for me they merely served as read receipts and a way to remind my friends and critics ongoingly that I appreciate and care about their earnest engagement.

I guess it doesn't hurt anybody too much to continue that practice here. Counterpoints welcome! What is the point of faves?

I have so much to do all at once, and this situation wasn't even necessary but imposed by others, aaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

A friend of mine is trying to get some transportation to sustain himself, and honestly it's going to reach more people here than on Twitter despite 25x the followers over there, so this place is already 100% better for some things. https://gofund.me/c6ae7730

For somebody who's spent a year dejected and feeling like an asshole for even trying to do this project… man, a little support goes a long way. I hope you know it really helps.

I loathe assembling a pile of identity signifiers for my bio, but I guess it's pretty important to make clear at the very least that I'm an anarcho-communist, so that new folks can quickly understand the ideological context of my statements and my underlying motives.

The lack of quote tweet function here saddens me in a way because there is all sorts of good they can do in a social environment tuned to supporting it.

The fact that the feature grew in an irreparably and deliberately broken social environment has apparently doomed a basic communication tool capable of preserving and providing great positive context.

Work on CommLab & Hellsite resumes TODAY.

There are a couple of gnarly bugs and mistakes I really need to iron out before I feel good about promoting this thing.

It doesn't matter whether you're an activist, an artist, or just another corporate network refugee like any of us … an anarchist with a strong drive to build community, a social media analyst with a broad critique, a prolific coder, a reluctant coder, a network engineer, a Kubernetes administrator -- chances are there is something you can contribute to this movement. I encourage you to join us on Matrix chat at #WebRev:hellsite.net

I am officially over my shit after nearly a year, and just really want collaboration on CommLab and its constituent free & open communicatoon tools, as well as a democratic self-managed community on Hellsite. Yes, CommLab is just a bunch of apps slapped together on Kubernetes, so far. But even if it never graduates from that character, it serves purposes of integration/standardization and education.

Hey friends, I'm streaming Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic and talking about social media, on Twitch and my PeerTube channel https://www.twitch.tv/bobbyd0g
