Sad to hear about Radio Free Fedi, as I was just about to start recommending it alongside Soma for my average internet radio enjoyer pals.
Hopefully it lives on in spirit, somehow.

Two big #fediverse institutions sunsetting. -
I wrote an open letter to artists and other creatives who are thinking about giving the fediverse a chance:There’s a huge popup on this page that says adblock not detected and that I should install one to be safe.
Which is ironic because I’m obviously running Firefox with uBO, and they probably blocked your attempt at detect an adblocker. But if what you want to do is detect that the user is not running an adblocker, you should be testing for the positive, not the negative: your popup should only load if the code was able to do the most obnoxious, advertising-like tasks without obstruction.

Unsolicited opinion: If #Mastodon wants to be a part of the #Fediverse that encourages small #selfhosted instances to be part of the whole, then it has to be a lean system able to be installed on second-hand/hand-me-down hardware and it should run reas...IRC, or XMPP at worst, should be the gold standard to follow here. Those things can be installed on Pentium IVs that you can get from rural school trash yards, and still run reasonably well.
