Because I'm an idiot. 🤦 Thanks!
Oh. I thought the lawsuit was gonna be because it wasn't hot enough. Some of these places serve spaghetti sauce as salsa. Which is fine. Adapting to local preferences and stuff.
you call them or just show up. It’s like the 2000s out here.
TIL: I'm living in the 2000s and didn't realize it. 😅
Yeah, this is what I do. Sometimes I show up and the place is closed. I wasted 30 minutes driving there. It's annoying. But, not so annoying that I want to use FB. (For me personally. I understand people have different tolerances.)
I'm older, I guess, this is just what we did when we were growing up.
Yeah, I guess you're right actually. You pay money and get more features. I tend to think of subscriptions for Open Source more as donations, but Fluxer is a little different.
But, yeah, like someone else said, you can self-host and not pay anything and get access to everything. Did I mention it's fully Open Source without a CLA?!
I recently learned my company quietly auto-rejects anyone who doesn't enter their LinkedIn URL..... :/
They say it's to fight AI spam candidates.
When I was driving in Mexico, I learned this is possible! They're very consistent with this.
California (not sure about other US states) on the other hand ... people will purposely drive in the left lane, block traffic, and then get mad at you when you pass them on the right.
Growing up in a small town, this is exactly what we did. I was absolutely shocked to learn that people ride bikes ON THE ROAD! Right next to the big metal death machines!! 😱
I see why bikes on the road make sense for high density areas... but it sure seems weird in smaller towns.
Real question, can you describe this experience more? How do businesses get locked behind Facebook?
I'm glad I deleted my accounts years ago. I don't have loss aversion from leaving them. I don't know what I'm missing, I guess, and that's good.
Neat. Interesting to hear about the backend. Thanks!
Did you guys also consider Fluxer? I tried Stoat first, but the main instance is really slow and there are some video features disabled due to high cost. Which is totally fair.
Fluxer seems to have more features and their main instance is a lot snappier. They're also accepting donations via Plutonium. Which seems to be helping with the server costs.
Both are AGPLv3, with Fluxer recently saying they're gonna remove their CLA so that it's true Open Source.
Last I heard, Stoat isn't planning federation.
Fluxer IS planning federation. https://blog.fluxer.app/roadmap-2026/
