(#paebb5a) @bender I have nothing against GoToSocial, but: > GoToSocial stores statuses, accounts, etc, in a database. This can be either SQLite or Postgres. `snac` is simpler. Some JSON files and that's it. I can read them with `jq` and `less`. I can use `tar` to back them up. I can hand edit them in a text editor.

(#gxolr6a) > I think @abucci and @stigatle are running snac? I didn’t have a closer look at snac (no intention of running it), but if that is a relatively small daemon (maybe comparable to Yarn?) that gives you access to the whole world of ActivityPub, then, well, yeah … That’s tough to beat. Yes, I am running `snac` on the same VPS where I run my yarn pod. I heard of it from @stigatle, so blame him 😏 `snac` is written in C and is one simple executable, uses very little resources on the server, and stores everything in JSON files (no databases or other integrations; easy to save and migrate your data) . It's definitely like yarn in that respect. I haven't been around yarn much lately. Part of that is that I've been very busy at work and home and only have a limited time to spend goofing off on a social network. Part of it is that I'm finding `snac` very useful: I've connected with friends I'd previously lost touch with, I've found useful work-related information, I've found colleagues to follow, and even found interesting conferences to attend. There's a lot more going on over there. I guess if I had to put it simply, I'd say I have limited time to play and there are more kids in the ActivityPub sandbox than this one. That's not a ding on yarn--I like yarn and twtxt--I'm just time constrained.

(#ihvwsua) @mckinley weird you mentioned my with the `anthony.buc.ci` account. I am assuming these kind of bugs were never addressed by @prologic. :-(

(#fxa4bpa) @New_scientist Silicon Valley’s top AI models are terrible at almost everything. They only seem otherwise because people are easily fooled into believing they have capabilities they don't have.

Yet another study strongly calling into question the concept of "echo chambers". I've argued it here before and people pushed back, but there is growing evidence that "echo chambers" are a moral panic and not a real phenomenon that we need to worry about. It's time to throw it out and re-think, in my opinion.
