Outage Report
Server went down as I was asleep, it ran out of storage.
I've expanded the storage and have adjusted the settings to reduce storage consumption. The biggest factor being that I had user profile caching turned on and it looks like my server discovered a bunch of new servers resulting in a large uptick in cached avatars.
This setting has now been turned off, it should make for a minor performance hit on new users but otherwise the big impact is significantly reduced storage space usage.

The Barbie movie is so pink that before you buy a ticket they make you verify that you are not Anish Kapoor and that you are not seeing the movie on behalf of Anish Kapoor
Being on Friendica with a wildly different format for displaying posts/comments... I wonder sometimes what my feed looks like to users on Mastodon... is it just a bunch of context-less comments?

I don't even get why would one like the Twitter format anyway. It's a total mess

Basically, it's the social media equivalent of pizza vs pizza rolls

in reply to Cătă • •@Cătă it's absolutely not a platform for discussion imo, and it's more about keeping it short. Everyone is incentivized to get to the point rather than writing longer posts.
It makes it hard to rant and get into heated discussions, but easier to get a dose of bite sized content that's easy and quick to read.
Alternatively, Friendica's format is much more suited to longer posts and ongoing conversations.

in reply to Shiri Bailem • • •@Shiri Bailem Yea, it is. I do not always post rants, but I sometimes like to elaborate my arguments when I get into a discussion, despite taking me quite some time :D
So I guess Twitter will never be the place for me :D
