Okay, I want to try to focus my spare-time-project-energy for the coming months.
I will do my very best to restrain myself to three projects:

1. Getting #GardenGame to a minimal playable state, so y'all can start making small virtual gardens. I'm not good at graphics, so keep expectations low for the first release.

2. #StarShip, a PHP fediverse server project by @InspectorCaracal . I'm thinking of making a zatnosk-experiments branch and just do my best to run wild with it.

When I think of a future with Open Social Media, I imagine three pillars.

1) Microblogging (ActivityPub), for sharing thoughts with strangers, ephemeral community building, and broad+global reach.

2) Forum / Stable Community (no good solution yet, AFAIK), for discussing, planning, buying/selling locally. All within a distinct group of people, membership of which can be managed.

3) Peer2Peer (Scuttlebutt?), for talking directly to friends, family, nearby people, and easily sharing files.

I just want to look at something interesting or fascinating or mildly entertaining. Not explosions and superlatives.

I shouldn't really be surprised, looking at Netflix and HBO, that there is so much extremely american content.
And most of the time, I just can't deal with all those huge arm movements and explosive energy and dramatic presentations of mundane things.

I know reality TV is bad, but american reality TV is it's whole own genre of Extreme Biggest Scariest Kitchen Appliances, and it's ridiculous.

There's a few english shows on Netflix, and they're way calmer.

Can people please remember to CW talk about gab and other nazi/fascist stuff?

#CrazyIdea: A mastodon client that aggregates all the links people have posted in the last 42 hours* and displays them; optionally sorting by boosts, number of times posted, number of times [domain] was posted, etc.

(* some value between 24 hours and 7 days)

What if I just stopped using public social media and went back to accepting the status quo and talking with my friends over facebook?

Would the struggle for safe and good social media really be worse off without this white cishet man trying to be an ally, while still yelling about his opinions and ideas?

I don't know if this is a plea for validation (it probably isn't), but I do know that I'm frustrated with myself and my relationship with social media.

I want to finish that garden game already, so I can get to work on #StarShip

Ugh, my instance was down for a day or two, and now I'm accidentally replying to 17h old toots.

A bad joke delayed 17 hours doesn't count as "snappy" does it?

Interestingly, "df -h" says I have 128G free space now, where I had 0 before.

"Removed 294900 media attachments (approx. 105 GB)"

Nice.

(also, that's a lot of dots in my terminal, if you know what I mean)

Aaaah.

"docker-compose run --rm web /mastodon/bin/tootctl media remove" has so far cleared 29G and counting from my disk.

Available space, here I come!
