What other microblogging platforms /other/ than Mastodon and Twitter are there?
@clacke I tend to consider microblogging some small character count.
If you tell me I can't blog more than a few MB of text, I'm going to get frustrated, eventually.
@dredmorbius GNU Social federates with Mastodon and Pleroma, and runs on shared hosting rather than needing the more techy requirements of everything else.
@stuartb Are you aware of any Fediverse instances that might be capable of running on a beefy #OpenWRT server such as the #TurrisOmnia?
2 GB RAM, 8 GB disk, with options for external storage. ARM processor.
Packaging is ... I think ... mudebs.
@clacke Thanks. That's what I was thinking.
What kind of IP address exposure does that entail? Is ther a concept of relaying through a hub?
Tor nodes?
@stuartb @dredmorbius Another Fediverse option is Misskey.
@dredmorbius GNU Social
@clacke Those Sawtell blokes @mjd and @tregeagle swear by it although I'll concede they are outliers.
@andyc @clacke that gnusocial instance those 2 are on isn't playing nice.
They are replying to stuff and it's not showing up and attempts to remote follow don't work.
I've had success with other ostatus instances. But http://microblog.mjd.id.au ... No dice.
@ghostdancer @rpcutts @clacke @timttmy Oh wait hang on. I withdraw that. Turns out I am successfully following @timttmy from mastodon.sdf.org. Weird.
@rpcutts @ghostdancer @clacke Indeed - well only on Friendica (which I rarely check). Did you see it on your self-hosted Mastodon ?
Suspect they just need to patch up latest version but they are too busy surfing and reading.
