Interesting. I tried to use mobilizon which I think is activitypub-based but has somehow similar goals as Karrot. Karrot looks a bit lighter/snappier to use, which is good (but TBF it’s been a while since I haven’t given Mobilizon a try, maybe it got better since last time I tried).

I think when you pay RHEL you mostly pay for support, custom dev and stuff like that so I would say it’s really not worth the trouble getting the software.

Oh indeed, I dont’t think it was better before. But technology should be about making things better, shouldn’t it?

Spotify shareholders say thanks. The artists, not so much. Keep your spotify money to go to concerts or buy albums on bandcamp. Spotify is the worst.

Fuck spotify. Unlike video which poses some infrastructure challenges, musical files are tiny and bandwidth costs are ridiculous. Internet should allow us to give money to the artists directly, not to some greedy evil corp that makes billions without giving artist their fair share. Bandcamp is the closest we have to that.
