It’s an open network! It’s a social network! It’s free!

And, maybe most importantly: It’s Not A Twitter Clone!

Whether it’s actually good…insufficient data for meaningful answer.

But if you want to try it out:

Here is a link to download the main app 

And here is an invite code for a Pub (as in a place you hang out and meet people) for the rationalsphere:

Here’s the page for the overall “what is this anyway?”

 

spiralingintocontrol:

why are there so many protocols… why do Tent and Mastodon and Scuttlebutt have their own protocols… this is what a “protocol” is for, it’s for multiple things to use…. hnnnnggghhhh

I’ll check it out I guess, as long as they have a linux client

 

somnilogical:

importantly here is an android app for it:

The main problem I had when first attempting to use Scuttlebutt was that–unless you have the knowledge and resources to run your own pub, which I do not–it forces you to integrate into the pre-existing web of social connections, unable to import the relationships you’ve already formed elsewhere. Which *is* a great way to make new friends, and that *is* very much a valuable role to play, but right now I’m focused on keeping the old ones.

A ratsphere pub sounds very promising. I think I’ll be giving this another try.

(They do have a Linux client. Source: am on Linux, have used their client.)

 

plain-dealing-villain:

Running your own pub has been made pretty easy. There’s a tool for spinning up an instance on DigitalOcean which requires very little knowledge or skill.

I’m unclear on how much it will cost to maintain the pub; a new DigitalOcean account gets $100 of credit which must be used in the first 60 days, so I’ll be running this for 60 days and I’ll tell you what it cost at the end of that.

I may even run multiple if I see some reason to or demand for them.

Are people actually moving to DreamWidth?

calledforhelp:

That’d be a yes. Mind you, this is pretty minimal in comparison to the jump that happened for LiveJournal:

I do think it’s highly likely that there will still be a significant portion of fandoms and users still on Tumblr for several more months- the same thing happened to LiveJournal prior to the data above, where a large spike was seen in July 2012. But movement is happening and it’s good to be aware that it is.

You can see these stats yourself here.

…hey Harry Potter fans, we’re all in agreement that Dumbledore brought the Philosopher’s Stone to Hogwarts in Harry’s first year as a test to see whether Voldemort was paying attention and what sort of state he was in, now that Dumbledore’s chosen champion was old enough to hold a wand, right?

Like, Harry learns what magic is and it’s time to start moving towards the full and final destruction of Tom Riddle Junior, so Dumbledore has a chat with his long-time alchemy friend who’s been keeping this thing safe for literally six centuries straight, and ‘borrows’ the easiest source of immortality he can find as bait for a trap to lure Voldemort out into the open so Dumbledore can get the lay of the land to prep for the next seven years.  This is canon, right?

Yes, this is canon. In none of the other books is the climactic array of trials set up as a video-game dungeon perfectly tailored to the skillsets of three specific children. Hermione and Ron are drafted into this war quickly.

Draco gets so much shit for trying to kill Dumbledore but honestly who wouldn’t

Also: Dumbledore gave the DADA position (one he knew was LEGITIMATELY CURSED so someone could only last for a year) to a guy who had been travelling in the last known place Voldemort had been seen. 

Dumbledore set up Quirell to die full stop.

a long, long, time ago

the day

the horny… died.

the good old blogs, who were thirsty on main, posting this’ll be the day that I deactivate and shift to Twitter / Mastodon / Discord / Dreamwidth /

A long, long time ago
I can still remember how
That blue site used to make me wet
And I knew if I had my shot
I could make it with the thots
And see just how horny we could get

But then December was a drag
When every post I made was flagged
Your blog is in review
And the site’s more red than blue

I can’t remember what came first
The enby titties or the thirst
But something touched me deep inside
The day the horny died 

So 

Bye, bye, to this site full of creeps
Shook my ass with some class and posted some feet
And I was scrolling when I just couldn’t sleep
Singing  this’ll be the day I delete,
This’ll be the day I delete

Do you know how to eat good ass
Or jack it to some nuns at mass
If the urge takes you so?
Do you believe in sluts and hoes
Can buttholes sooth your mortal soul
Can you teach me how to eat pussy real slow? 

Well I know that you’re in love with me
So here’s the link to my KoFi
You sent me your dick picks
All day and night for kicks 

I was a lonely fetish cammer here
With a fresh-shaved head and a well-worn sneer
And I knew nobody else would leer
The day the horny died
I started singing

Bye, bye, to this site full of creeps
Shook my ass with some class and posted some feet
And I was scrolling when I just couldn’t sleep
Singing  this’ll be the day I delete,
This’ll be the day I delete 

Now for 11 years we’ve been on this site
Blogging through the day and night
But that’s not how it used to be 

Facebook’s full of Mom & Dad
Myspace took a hit real bad
Twitter discourse is just real sad

SESTA/FOSTA took Craigslist down
Backpage got run outta town
So it seemed like we were stuck
On Tumblr we could fuck

Verizon tried to hit the mark
And then it one day jumped the shark
And we sing dirges in the dark
The day the horny died
We’re all singing

Bye, bye, to this site full of creeps
Shook my ass with some class and posted some feet
And I was scrolling when I just couldn’t sleep
Singing  this’ll be the day I delete,
This’ll be the day I delete

I met a girl who used to hoe
And asked if she knew where we could go
But she just smiled and turned away.

I logged in to my mainstream blog
And tried to write a silly song
But the music wouldn’t stay

And on my dash the children screamed
The thots went dark and the Nazis preened
A thousand words were spoken
The reblogs all were broken

And the place that I’d enjoyed the most
Full of all my best shitposts,
Raised a final glass to toast
The day the horny died.

And we were singing

Bye, bye, to this site full of creeps
Shook my ass with some class and posted some feet
And I was scrolling when I just couldn’t sleep
Singing  this’ll be the day I delete,
This’ll be the day I delete

I was singing

Bye, bye, to this site full of creeps
Shook my ass with some class and posted some feet
And I was scrolling when I just couldn’t sleep
Singing  this’ll be the day I delete.
