Hello, I’m the reel2bits project developper, a #FOSS self-hostable #soundcloud like with #ActivityPub federation.

It’s written in python/flask/vuejs and I need help because of health issues I’m unable to work a lot on it anymore, if you are interested to help me on some of the issues and more specially the ActivityPub part, you can contact me through:

• the project matrix channel
• the issue tracker
• this account

boosts appreciated, thanks.

Since I've moved servers, it might be a good time for an #introduction #introductions:

I make #synthesizers and am very interested in #synthdiy. I made a big modular #synth from scratch and want to help others do the same. I like to dabble in code, especially where #technology and #music meet.

I love #techno, #dub, #salsa, #jazz, #experimental, #ambient, and more.

I'm neurodivergent (ask me about my brain!) and do my best to be the best ally I can be. As a straight white guy it's my duty.

Not to be a dick, but has anyone received a @purism Librem 5 yet who isn’t either involved with the development or able to publish a review? Aka a normal person who paid for it? I’m really interested to see what those people think of the product they paid for three years ago. Seems like every time I see a “I got my Librem 5 today!” post it’s always from someone who either publishes reviews or helped develop it somehow.

Sometimes, I see tweets by such brilliant, complicated and wonderful people and I miss Birdland.

Then I remember actual thoughtful people on there are a minority group and Birdland leadership is just culling talent to steal their shit and sell it for its own benefit.

Yeah. I'm good. I just have to work harder to get those people over here.

It worries me that the free software community gets the "how" for making GPL-licensed federated equivalents to popular web services, but they rarely understand the "why".

This is evidenced when new services pop up with poor/missing moderation controls and no ability for users to downloading & migrate their data.

If users who don't or can't self-host are expected to swap one unaccountable group for another, and the community is no better, then there is no benefit to them for making the switch.
