    ugh.

  • Social media site for devs getting hug-of-death'd by HN... the irony!

  • If it's called /dev/null... shouldn't all your responses be sent nowhere? Shouldn't it be a blank page? ;)

  • Thank you, but no. I'll stick with /dev/tty0 . It's federated.

  • It would be nice if the website had more information about the platform before you create an account.

  • Mastodon is where I find the most (I hesitate to use this word) real nerds. The folks in it for the love of the game, not because it pays well or because they're chasing the latest trends. Nearly everyone I admire in tech is there, and very few of the people I think little of are.

    > Dave: "Bot, add a folder to my personal data store with the pictures I took this weekend and share it with everyone in my poker group"

    > Sally: "I see that I've gotten an email from Dave with a magic link conveying access to something. Bot, use this link to negotiate a key exchange with whatever weird app Dave cobbled together (ask his bot if you need help) and then log into my VPS and add a tab to my personal webapp to display the content he has shared."

    That might be overly optimistic, but it doesn't feel that far off. It's kind of what Tim Berners-Lee build https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_project for right?
