• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

I stumbled across this during my insomnia last night:


It seems to be leveraging some tools/platform called pleroma and mastodon.

Basically a group of displaced techies trying to build a decentralized internet. The platform as it is now is basically unreadable, but I think their motivation is right.

Mastadon is kind of interesting. It looks like some kind of mix of Twitter and Pinterest and seems to be some connection to the No Agenda guys if anyone is familiar with them.

Once we get the obvious work in front of us done, I’m prob gonna reach out to the guys and try to get a little more insight into their perspective. If we really do want to rebuild the internet we need to be making some alliances with like minded people - but also making sure we don’t get mixed in with the wrong crowd.
