@tess I would expect Amazon to be more likely to keep their store up and functional, so that's a good sign.
I haven't had any problem using the Aurora Store app to pull things off of the Google Play store if they're not on F-droid, but I'll keep the Amazon one in mind if I do.
@tess looks like they're running something called ClearOs Mobile.
I don't know anything about it.

She: But WHY are you breaking up with me? Please tell me honestly.
He (sigh): Ok It's...your "signature sex move"
She: Judgmental Corpse?
anti antifa = fascist seems to be the logic.
(I think you can be opposed to street gangs fighting in your town without that being equivalent to supporting one of them, but what do I know?)

*whispers* most people don't care about decentralization and governance models, they just want someplace to hang out that's not a hassle.

seeing folk refer to "the original Mastodon app for "
my froods, the original Mastodon apps were all third-party. the "official" Mastodon apps are recent and not feature complete.
look around the ecosystem a bit - the "official" stuff your brain seeks is centralization talking. we roll differently over here.
Seen: "The YIMBY Weebs, Steelmanned"
I'd just like to appreciate this masterful tower of jargon.
I, of course, am the kind of clown that installs Lineage+MicroG and uses F-droid first, but no one will sell me a phone configured that way.
Further thoughts on the Musk Phone:
Has anyone made an Android fork that wasn't locked to the Google Play store and even bothered to support it for a few years?
I think Amazon was going to have their own app store. How's that going.
There's a Chinese fork, I think. How's that?

Having run my own test mastodon server, I can tell you that boosting is REALLY important. That's how posts propagate between servers that are not federated together.
I may get a bit technical, and it can be hard to describe but it's something like this:
Let's say that you have 2 servers, A and B that are not connected. They have their own federated timelines that is vastly different.
let's assume they have their users @a@A and @b@B that are mutuals. If user @a@A sees something interesting on theirs federated timeline and boosts it, user @b@B will see that on their own home page. But more importantly server B will now know about and download that post, and everyone else on B server will be able to see that post on their own federated timeline!
And that's why you boost, guys! It helps posts to spread.

@fuzzychef this implies a certain kind of relationship between the server admin and the server users.
That your users would prefer to be shielded from certain ugliness at the cost of their access to some other people.
Make sure you put the fact that you'll be acting in loco parentis for your users in your instance about page.

HOT OLDER MEN in YOUR AREA want to know if YOU have been TOUCHING the THERMOSTAT.
Getting pretty sick of takes like: Elon Musk posted a meme, this is clearly the deepest his thought goes on the subject. This is why his takeover of Twitter is about me.
Get a grip.
@zebrask having both my sons (16, 14) and my nephew (3) at Thanksgiving reminded me of what a joy it is.
Izumi, homeroom teacher and counselor, tries to increase discipline at school, but her meek personality makes this ineffective.
Nano and Hakuse buy snacks.
Izumi falls asleep while proctoring a test. Mai takes advantage of the opportunity to fool around.
Mai teases Yuuko more.

How long until they realize Fediverse isn't what they want and write articles about the urgent need for moderation on these dangerous dark uncontrolled spaces?
