 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I'm wondering what the best hashtag is myself, as my tweets are basically the only things up there. | 21:47:43 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | https://twitter.com/hashtag/NixOS?src=hashtag_click | 21:48:08 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Ah! That's my cookies doing some magic. yeah it looks like NixOS is populated. | 21:49:11 |
 samueldr | I think people usually "tag" @nixos_org | 21:49:14 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | * Ah! That's my cookies doing some magic. Yeah it looks like #NixOS is more populated. | 21:49:18 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Yeah I did that on a few of mine, forgot about them though. | 21:49:29 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | * Yeah I did that on a few of mine, forgot about them a few times though. | 21:49:34 |
| samueldr | but not for meme stuff, just in case | 21:49:30 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | My embroidery tweet, I expected to get retweeted 😀 | 21:50:06 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | That thing is so awesome. If anybody wants some badges or something made, let me know. | 21:50:50 |

I think people usually "tag" @nixos_org Interesting. I wonder about mastodon.social | 21:51:11 |
| samueldr | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 21:51:20 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Mastodon strikes me as failed :( | 21:51:48 |
| nbathum (he or they) | i.e. https://fosstodon.org/@nbathum/106660402766271055 | 21:51:52 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Does anybody know if it's getting better, more adoption, etc?
| 21:52:02 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Might be time for me to host an instance if it's actually going somewhere. | 21:52:51 |

Does anybody know if it's getting better, more adoption, etc?
the intentional-ness of it intrigues me. but idk. I'm not good at social media, twitter, or any other | 21:53:59 |

Might be time for me to host an instance if it's actually going somewhere. A NixOS instance 😉? | 21:54:27 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I of course want to support it. But social media is one of those things that requires lots of people to mean anything. Unlike most of the things you're doing on your computer, like using free software. | 21:54:39 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Hmm, I do own nix.how | 21:55:01 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | And nix.zone 🤔 | 21:55:09 |
| nbathum (he or they) | FWIW, I will argue that you should consider joining an existing instance. or possibly being the driver for a legit NixOS community instance. See https://chaos.social/@davidak/106543958518159886 for some reasoning | 21:55:33 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | social.nix.zone or something could be fun, yeah. Do you know if mastodon can do high availability? | 21:55:45 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Oh sure, if there's an existing instance I'll join that in a heartbeat. | 21:55:59 |
| nbathum (he or they) | In reply to @matthewcroughan:defenestrate.it
social.nix.zone or something could be fun, yeah. Do you know if mastodon can do high availability? I know next to nothing about the architecture or details. I only started using mastodon a week ago | 21:56:28 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | If it's anything like Matrix wherein the homeserver cannot be scaled horizontally, I'd be annoyed 😀 | 21:57:04 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | seems like it is tbh | 21:57:30 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | that's one of the biggest challenges with this, and why it's better if everyone hosts their own | 21:57:52 |
| nbathum (he or they) | You could ask admins of different instances about that? | 21:58:10 |
