TL: I didn't get the reaction I wanted so I'll pop out on another alt within a day or two.
You have fans waiting on Mastodon @david.

14I'm banned from ever participating in the matrix-synapse github because I commented "bruh" under a proposal to shoehorn pronouns into the spec when most languages don't respect them
funny thing about this is i fixed the database bloat issue but I cant submit a PR or even write a guide because I'm completely blocked. so while ours hovers around 333GB (instead of over 1.2TB) I'm sure they have much worse problems
their main problem is its a bunch of trannies trying to shoehorn pronouns into the spec instead of creating a task that periodically wipes the states from rooms, epsecially rooms who have had their versions upgraded because it stores every login, logout, every ip, every time you logged in, logged out, where you were scrolled in the room, any time you changed your profile picture. for everybody in every room you join. you run a public server, they join a room with 60-70k people now your server is storing that data for all of those people without ever pruning. ever.
@p @phnt @ins0mniak @f0xluvsp_at_fsebugoutzoneorg @graf @madonline @mpg @david i think the idea of not streaming messages but doing a distributed blockchain thingy was worth exploring, (and is good for select uses) but their idea of being IRC 2.0 was retarded, given the protocol.
@p @phnt @ins0mniak @f0xluvsp_at_fsebugoutzoneorg @graf @madonline @mpg @david after irc, xmpp and matrix, my opinion is that there are tiny parta missing from IRC, most of which are client features, to make it a very good system even for the "messenger app on a phone" use.

@p @phnt @ins0mniak @f0xluvsp_at_fsebugoutzoneorg @graf @madonline @mpg @david i really really would like something like devterm, only water and dirt proof like a "phone" now usually is. or maybe just like f91w. it should survive living in my cargo pants pocket.
@p @phnt @ins0mniak @f0xluvsp_at_fsebugoutzoneorg @graf @madonline @mpg @david i'd say even something like pocket c.h.i.p. only in a more rugged package would be fine for me. really don't need much stuff, and with non shit software even playing the occasional video does work.
i'm really suprised the chinese don't just shit out copies of these things like they do with everything else. same with sansa clip mp3 players.
I'm going to test vandalism on your profile tomorrow by drawing on your profile pic, if it doesn't update and we can federate it we can have some fun
@p @phnt @ins0mniak @f0xluvsp_at_fsebugoutzoneorg @graf @madonline @mpg @david always thought the calc was more microcontroller rather than a full computer
