I like making my Mastodon fork behave exactly the way I want. One feature I miss from other platforms is videos that autoplay and loop muted. I'm going to implement that in my fork, just like on those other platforms. It will respect the system-wide reduce motion setting.

My goal is to keep Mastodon core as close to vanilla as possible and not overload it with features like glitch-soc, just improve the things I want, both in UI and functionality.

Being a MastoAdmin is nice, you get to build your own tools and learn new things.

Made progress on issue 172 today, but the rest of the evening goes to playing Fortnite with my son. And that's fine by me, loving our win streak. First things first.

When I got the idea to start my own Mastodon server in October 2022, many people asked, "What will happen to your server when you die? Will it just disappear? Aren't you afraid you'll lose all your data forever?"

Well, yes. No shit, Sherlock. But it'll be mine while I’m alive.

Websites come and go over the decades. Nothing is permanent. So why should a Mastodon server be any different?

Epicurus once said: Why should I fear death? If I am, then death is not. If death is, then I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?

While I embrace the mindset of focusing on the present, I do everything I can to keep this server running for as long as I live and breathe - and maybe even beyond.

This is why I named my server mementomori.social. It's a reminder. More at help.mementomori.social
