   First piece of :fse:'s new hardware has been acquired. Now we just wait for it to ship and for me to get paid again so the next few pieces can be acquired.
   
   New box will be more stable (for anyone that reads my stupid posts and can remember any of them, I am doing the build that I proposed a few years ago, as a joke conversation between :elliot: and :putinlol: because in some initial testing, it turns out to not just be tenable but more reliable) as well as lower power and cooler and easier to do remote service on. It will be less beefy but better suited to the new software. :ocelot:

     @MK2boogaloo Well, I can't main Poast because some FSE refugees will not be able to talk to me, and the same with some other instances, but if Baest goes down, I will post on gh0st and Poast about where I am, maybe I'll be on gh0st or I'll be in dcc's closet or something. It's like the presidential succession act, we haven't had this many instances go down for this long, so there's no plan.

But yeah, I can't into Soapbox FE. It fucks up notifications and fucks up threads and is basically Twitter but slow as a motherfucker.

     idk, I don't have any issues with soapbox in my instance, but im also retarded so there are probably things I don't notice.
     
     I haven't tried Bloat, but pleroma FE is a superior front end, however it works best with more tech savy users. I think pleroma is best for normies or people who, like you say, like twitter lol.

     > I don't have any issues with soapbox
     
     The first thing was the login-wall. Gleason claims to be after mass-adoption but nobody creates an account just to find out what's going on: they need a reason to sign up. Most people don't know what fedi is or how it works, so the way Pleroma works out of the box is good: it just shows people the timeline. It works for Poast because people know who graf is, but you get very few people that see it and just sign up. Last time I saw him discuss this, he said "Oh, you just put /timelines/fediverse at the end of the URL" but nobody's gonna know to do that and even if you make it a link, that's a click. I used to suggest these things to him before I concluded that he is useless to talk to, but he ignores things like that.

     Not relevant; he says he's trying to push mass adoption, and if that really is the case, he's doing it wrong. What the admins are doing is the admins' business.
     
     > From a functional, user standpoint, I think soapbox is probably the most user friendly.
     
     It's dogshit on a paper plate as far as I can tell, but that's Gleason's business, not mine.
     
     > no one is actually making an effort to do so as far as I can tell.
     
     This is not a place where people are likely to make any money. Some of the commie instances have whales because they are appealing to the upper-middle class and take "donations" but anyone else is in the red. FSE has never taken donations, it's all out of pocket. (I think the closest that happened was graf sent me a couple of PSUs but I paid him back a week later.)
     
     Anyway, my thoughts on Soapbox are my thoughts: I'm not a user nor a contributor nor a fan and won't be in any of those categories in the future, so I don't want to spend time discussing it. I'm writing code.

     It's not an aesthetic choice, it's UX for people that land on the page for the first time. I don't give a damn about normie-UX but have been in the industry long enough.
     
     > People srr not sure what instances exists, what they are about, and don't want to memorize/ make 10 different accounts.
     
     Sure. I'm not the right person to ask about mass adoption.

     I'm sure there are better options to view/ filter your own timeline, but this very much site aesthetics.
     
     I think the bigger issue with fedi is not with soapbox at all, it's the nature of the Fediverse and exploring it.
     People are not sure what instances exists, what they are about, and don't want to memorize/ make 10 different accounts.
     
     I think the solution to this is to make a robust fedi management app that not only provide server suggestions, but ease of access for about pages, server blocks, account management and notification alerts.
     It was something I was slowly working on but admittedly is on the back burner due to other projects.
