Hello


Inaugural post. I'm hoping to build a community here. I am a SQL server Dev and DBA who writes fiction.

@cjewel Welcome. I am a DBA too. Mostly postgres and oracle but some mssql too
in reply to Ruud

Hello there fellow database nerd! My day job is SQL Server, but for personal projects I use MySQL. I have a wee bit of Postgres. Thanks for saying hi!

I saw you on sfba mastodon!
I'm a sql server developer / engineer.
I don't call myself a writer anymore because...I'm not writing. No idea when i will again but i am a writer in a general sense. I used to write poetry, essay, nonfiction, with very brief non-serious forays into humor.


Breaking up with Fuckerberg


Should I even bother? I have a developer account but I don't think fuckerberg will allow something like this even if I stay under the rate limit.

Years ago I worked at a startup here in the US and we had to implement a GDPR process for EU customers. I think about that every day as I delete things manually, knowing that the billionaires running this country will never let a GDPR equivalent pass for us.

Click on the leftmost icon on top and look at the drop-down menu.
How do you post on here, though? 😄




in reply to Michelle Marie

If you go to your contacts tab, you'll see options for the local server here, and globally.

If your friend is here on friendica.world you can just look up their name. Otherwise you'll search for @[namehere]@[server.com]

If your friend needs to set up an account, you can send an invite as well with their email.





"Notifier task is pending": what this means?


Friendica's web frontend shows an hourglass icon with the pop-up title "Notifier task is pending". When I initially posted, it was kind of expected since I had just posted. However, days have passed and all my posts, including the oldest one, are still displaying the icon. Why?
in reply to Daemon Silverstein

Because we have an issue lagging behind in job processing. It's catching up but at current speed would still take 11 days. Working with Friendica devs to get it sped up.


Still learning about the fediverse. So far, I also have mastodon, lemmy, and pixelfed. Hoping to set up a few more today. I'm also purging all posts and media from fuckerberg socials. It's a daunting task.


actually i haven't used facebook for years, i just wanted to see how things are going here.
in reply to wingyang

Hi. Fed up with Zuck and FB. Looking at alternatives. Only been a member a few hours. Maybe I'll drop a pic here to see how things work... Huh. Drag'n'drop didn't work but I did find a way...
in reply to wingyang

@wing lol! There are people, haha (myself included). But the more successful are the microblogging platforms like Mastodon, so that's where people go. That doesn't mean that you can't find content, thank god ActivityPub exists. But people are so used to writing just one or two lines of text and call it a day that they do not care about the alternatives.

Anyway, I don't wanna go on with this, but if you want to follow content, check out fedi.directory, the Friendica directory, some of the accounts on Flipboard that enabled federation or this list. I'm sure there are some more. If you can't find what you're looking for, but it has a website, it most likely has an RSS feed. Paste the website in the address bar and it will find it.

You'll likely feel yourself a bit overwhelmed with information, so add those contacts to circles to streamline your content.



is there anybody out there
