According to all known laws of social networks there is no way a volunteer-run federated alternative should be able to survive

There's just not enough venture capital to get it off the ground

The fediverse, of course, survives anyway

Because the fediverse doesn't care what a bunch of capitalists think is possible

@jk mil-spec actually just means "leave it with a private for 5 minutes and it probably won't be broken"

@leadore inventory tracking, if there's not an asset number assigned to something, it doesn't exist

@leadore if there's no asset number then nope, not a boat there

@trashyfins@chomp.life yeah, we suspended that from here, looks like a data gathering operation

Not exactly the best time to release a Fallout themed watch, but Laco and A Blog to Watch have collabed on this thing

https://www.ablogtowatch.com/laco-rad-aux-limited-edition-watch/

It's kinda cool looking, I personally prefer for my watches to get that "aged" look through actual use rather than finishes applied by the factory, but it's cool if you want a watch that looks like it's from Fallout

@ThisIsMissEm you might be surprised, with an admin that's approachable and a good community people generally try to chip in a bit when they can

@ThisIsMissEm I wouldn't be a massive fan of that, I prefer the sort of "hey, we've got this running, come join, maybe help if you want" vibe that's the norm at the moment but if an instance wants to go that way then that's fine

you know garlglemon has boosted one of your toots when the notifications start sounding like minimal techno

Does it have the same asset number? Then it's the same boat

As a note to our new tumblr friends, the fediverse is a primarily volunteer-run thing with the admins paying for all the server costs out of their own pockets

If you'd like to chip in towards keeping the fediverse running then most admins have patreon or kofi links somewhere that you can throw a couple of bucks at from time to time

@maple my name is sam the octopus and i do exactly the same thing

@daggers_drawn putting my mod hat on for a second, it's cool

if you think your toots are getting a bit long and you want to give people the option of seeing it all or not then feel free to put a CW tag on it with something descriptive

#introductions

Right, might as well get around to doing one of these with the new influx

I'm sam, I'm an octopus

I do some moderation stuff around here on computerfairi.es so if you need a hand with something then I might be able to help

I also make bad-to-middling toots and geek the fuck out about watches

@dizzy hey, welcome!

@KitRedgrave@cybre.space wormwood bitters is a thing some people use, maybe crib a recipe that uses that and mess around with replacing the bitters with malort?

@KitRedgrave@cybre.space if it's bitter like quinine then just put gin in it and call it good

assuming the tumblr exodus finds us well then the fediverse shall be filled with lewds and furries!

in other words, it'll be a monday

@sydneyfalk 🎶 You're so vain, you probably think this toot is about you 🎶
