Can you guess how many people are talking about crypto on mastodon.social? > Also I don’t want anything pro-crypto on my feeds. Then just don't follow them? Also, can you maybe try to be a little less judgemental? Your attitude is a perfect illustration for https://mastodon.social/@molily/113480811492965996

Attitude? My brother in Christ, you’re the one that wants to put crypto posts in my community. You’re not entitled to an audience.

> that wants to put crypto posts

I wasn't. That's the point. It's been a long time since I stopped working with Ethereum and I always despised cryptocurrency as an speculation instrument. To take whatever I wrote about (ENS as an alternative for resolving identity without DNS or the handful of discussions about a guy working on ZK-proofs) as being a "crypto bro" is ridiculous, but I am sure that your prejudices will force you to disagree.

> in my community.

I wasn't chasing anyone around asking to follow me. If your server ended up getting some of my posts, go to the next HOA Mastodon meeting to complain to whoever in "your" community who did not toe the party line.

Pleroma was recommended to me as a less resource-intensive alternative to Mastodon and with less anti-features. It runs fine with one user on Hetzner's cheapest VPS. I delete posts mirrored from other servers older than 90 days with a cron job. It has a command to do this.

Pleroma and GoToSocial are indeed better if you are looking for something more efficient. But I am still not happy with the idea that we should be deleting data from the server just to keep it manageable. It reminds of the before Gmail where people would get 5MB quota of Yahoo Mail and would have to go around deleting stuff from their mailboxes every other month.

Then don't, and upgrade your server by something on the order of 40GB every year.

Takahe is the only one that is doing it, but unfortunately Andrew stopped working on it.

this looks dope, I'm going to have to take a closer look now that I've heard of it.

hooray! Thanks for sharing, this is great to see. I used to follow the ecosystem much more closely than I do now but I'm definitely looking to jump back in soon.
