  1. Upload to a temporary pastebin like envs.sh, ttm.sh, 0x0.st, or 0.vern.cc.
  2. Use the Wayback Machine or archive.today to archive that link
  3. Get the direct link to the archived image

A more technical option: if you have SSH access to a server with web hosting capabilities (your own server, a free pubnix/tildeverse server, etc) then just rsync/sftp your image over.

The ideas behind the platform seems solid, but I'm getting exhausted. Everyone has their own take on what social media should be. I'm already in the process of phasing out my Reddit and Hacker News usage.

On top of jstpst (love this place 😘), lobste.rs, tildes.net, the Fediverse, Lemmy (strictly part of the Fediverse but doesn't fully interoperate, hence the need for an account), various forums, and my IndieWeb site: I have another piece of social media.

I think that if someone wants me to consider their social media platform, it needs to do at least two of the following:

  1. Be small/inactive enough to not reward excessive attention, but not so small that I feel like I'm talking to myself. There's a grey area somewhere in between.
  2. Interoperate with other social networks so I don't have to actually join it (the Fediverse, the IndieWeb)
  3. Have an unusually nice community

So I hope Cohost does well, but I don't think I have it in me to give it a try unless I hear good news of at least two of the above. I'll ask around in a week.

Yeah this only applies to certain types of forums.

I've been thinking of creating A Thing made of participating sites. Starting with a webring, inclusion criteria, and a chatroom to share draft posts; then I'll add a forum. I want to keep everything low-volume, and this was my brainstorming.

not really a forum or social network as much as a community that happens to include a forum.

Yeah, orca isn't too bad tbh; it's just not really great.

It's better than, say, VoiceOver for iOS but that's not exactly a high bar.

On top of that, Chromium and derivatives (including Electron) have really flaky support for the necessary accessibility APIs. You're pretty much limited to GTK, Qt, and Firefox or WebKit2GTK for a good experience.

You know, I used to be on the "webshit bad" train and I still kind of am, but Qt is literally the only alternative to webapps when it comes to making cross-platform internationalized GUIs with good accessibility. Hopefully Odilia's addon and scripting support could improve that situation.
