The official app has a significantly shittier UX than the webui. Third party apps provide a better experience, but randos who haven't already been on mastodon for years don't know …

If you get banned on Twitter or any other centralized service, you lose all your followers. If you get banned on Mastodon, you lose your followers on the instance(s) that banned yo…

They're treating their mastodon audience as if it's a twitter audience and failing to read the room. There's a lot more anti-cop folks on mastodon, so coming out right away with "W…

I ended up switching to Apple Music. I know, I know, Apple, but like Google Music, they allow me to upload any music I have MP3s of. That includes all the tracks I bought from band…

If they got 10k in credits, it was likely through the Hatch program. You can read those terms here: https://www.digitalocean.com/legal/hatch-terms-of-service/ In short: No, those c…

When an account on DO is late with a payment, you go through three stages: hold, suspension, termination. The hold happens right away and prevents you from creating new billable re…

I mean, both Google and Apple analyze apps for any sort of detectable malicious libraries/code. It's not perfect by any means, but it's something. I don't know why this business go…

But, if that Droplet goes down, so does the reverse proxy. You'd need at least two Droplets to ensure no SPOF.

You've got working backups though, right? Or at least a local copy?

The timeframe is 3 weeks until suspension, then another 2 weeks until deletion. At the time this user was affected, it was 3 weeks until suspension, then 3 days until deletion, but…

For the record, that's not how it works at DO. The support department encompasses Platform Support (like T1), Trust & Safety (handles cases of possible fraud or abuse complaints), …

It's not at the first sign of trouble, though. It's after ~15 email notifications over the course of over a month, and no contact back.

rsync.net is the shit. I can vouch for them 110%. Also backblaze's b2 is pretty damn good/cheap. I use it as a secondary backup.

It's on his Twitter account that's linked in his profile. ;)

It's like on any Linux or BSD machine. You can build and install the kernel normally, and it just works. Only some of the older images still use the old method of selecting the ker…
