O_o That's a lot of s###

GNU social is basically PHP + MariaDB and Mastodon I think is Ruby + PostgreSQL so whichever of those might fit your setup better… ?

disregard that last link. it's actually https://gs.monkeystew.net/main/public

oh wow, just when I thought they couldn't get any worse they prove me wrong. :o

@skematica ouch

Not as such no, it's stored on your instance but as posts from [email protected] so they are in your database and visible but not as a user local to your instance.

yes I actually have a gnu social instance running @gs.monkeystew.net. Mostly because the previous Friendica release had a few ostatus quirks. I'm [email protected]

//

in a fashion yes you'll store posts from others that you follow locally. and your posts get stored on the servers your followers are on as well. specifics vary depending on what network it is (diaspora, friendica, gnu social, etc)

lol wonder if that explains the "36k twitter follower hug of death" comment I saw gargon make.

We've survived another Halloween. Despite the rain we got a pretty good turnout this year.
