I have just released Hometown v1.0.5+3.4.0! This release adds no new features, it simply brings Hometown up to date with Mastodon v3.4.0.

I've been building a Facebook Events style event organizing system for the Fediverse. It's based on the simple, open source, privacy-respecting event organizing tool gath.io

The attached video is a work-in-progress preview and shows compatibility with Mastodon. My hope is to get it working with lots of software, including stuff like Friendica that supports events and calendars.

I finished my stint as a Mozilla Fellow and now I'm relaunching my Patreon with a focus on, well, fixing social media.

This means I'm going to continue my concerted work trying to make the fediverse a better place, in the form of best practice guides for running instances, external advocacy, and technical tutorials and training so that more people can contribute software to the fediverse at large.

You can read a partial summary of my work so far at my new Patreon page!

THQ announced they are developing Jagged Alliance 3, and the senior producer on the title name checked my book on the series as required reading for dev team 😎

Idea: guy named Mehdi starts a feta cheese company. He also sets up a corporate Mastodon server for advertising his cheese. Then we have fedi meta about Mehdi's feta

"Using the platform" by Elise Hein https://elisehe.in/2021/08/22/using-the-platform

Good overview of where we're at with the "framework-less" approach. For something like ES Modules, I'm looking forward to the day when I can just write static HTML/CSS/JS and have the server optimize the bundles (similar to how modpagespeed used to work).

Nice article about art archive bots on social media. Honestly I am pleased that someone remembers my early foray into this field.

discord is a corporation 

the developer of discord.py is formally deprecating the project, and the only path forward would be for someone else to make a different version under a new name.

essentially, they've been in a constant battle with Discord staff and had their requests completely ignored, and with the latest changes to the API, they have lost all motivation to work on the project. because no one else they trust was able to take over ownership, they're shutting it down.

they made a big post on GitHub about it if you want to read the full story. it's a mess: https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/4a2f62751b9600a31a0d3c78100287f1

from what it seems, there's a good chance that a lot of major Discord bots will not work when the deadline in April 2022 comes by and Discord wants all the bots to switch to the new API. and there's not much you can really do about it
