I REALLY don't want to join #Bluesky and love it here on the fedi.

They Call Me Schluter

To each their own, but for me, I have zero interest in any other social platform than the fediverse. The community is plenty large enough, diverse enough, interesting enough, to work for me. I have no fomo about any of the corporate and vc backed projects. Hopefully you'll stick around here, the more the merrier, at least to an extent. Haha. I'm ok with certain types of individuals staying over on the dumpster fire or moving to one of the others.

@codemonkeymike I am on both, and honestly, while there are more people to follow on Bluesky, the content quality difference isn't really dramatically compelling for my interests. But more telling, is the lackluster reciprocation of engagement. Feels like most folks there are just trying to recreate the Xitter follower count "high".

@codemonkeymike I am actually not sure why bsky should be better than fedi, especially fedi have more federation options like Lemmy/PeerTube etc

Dane Henson

@codemonkeymike I love Linux and my day job is an elixir web developer. I tend to post about ham radio and 3D printing quite a big too. Welcome to the fediverse!

@corycarson I used to to say I liked php in job interviews, and then duck. @codemonkeymike

Kevin

@codemonkeymike I like some of those things but never post about them. They've been a part of my daily life do long that they are "just there" I suppose.

Casey Peel

@codemonkeymike hola! I'm the de facto lead developer for the code that powers @DProofreaders. Our 24-yo codebase is written PHP and is self hosted on Linux.

Hope you find a rich community here!

dulsi

@codemonkeymike I do linux game development. Although most of my post recently have been artwork. I decided to challenge myself to redraw 100 Dragon magazine covers in one year.

Conceptually, NixOS sounds very appealing because of its reproducibility and stability. I was sold on the idea the first time I heard of its unique approach. The package management sounds fantastic.

@8744781f42a20add2f942a2b4feabca5b451ca22c17e20db7884f55d72f30a56 the best way I've described it is it's like having your entire system in a docker compose file.

But even better because you get things like generations and nix-shell

Mike :nixos:

@dulsi awesome. I love art in my feed too

Mike :nixos:

@gairdeachas @DProofreaders PHP hosted on Linux. And your In the PacNW like me. Cheers! And welcome.

This post is blowing my mind. Def satisfied with this!!

Mike :nixos:

@kevin that's the best. When they're just there

Mike :nixos:

@antijingoist @corycarson haha that's funny. Most of my work has been small companies or direct to customers, so they couldnt care less what it's written in. Just that it gets done under budget.

And for me, I usually reach for PHP! Sorry not sorry

Mike :nixos:

@brainofdane nice! It's great to meet fellow Linux nerds and people established with elixir. I'm new to elixir, but have been a developer my whole life.

How do you enjoy elixir

Mike :nixos:

@hakki oh it's not. In any way.

However, the theory is that the fedi is a very small, under represented part of the population, so I'd be missing out.

I sure dont feel like that after this post!

Mike :nixos:

@mystech oh that's exactly why I don't want to go over there and do the same thing as twitter.

And I don't care about numbers. It was just having enough people to feel like a have a solid group of good people.

I sure feel like that now!

Mike :nixos:

@finner im 100% not going anywhere. Mastodon has easily been my fav social media experience. Hence my resistance to jumping into the bluesky.

Esp after this post. I believe this place has plenty of great people.

Mike :nixos:

@alexanderadam @CrystalLanguage once a programmer, always a programmer. What's the big selling point with crystal?

@codemonkeymike

Are people spending all their time online. After I reach a certain number of people I follow I find I cannot follow all their posts and only see the latest ones because I have a life offline.
