remember when I asked for a replacement for #disqus and then ranted about how none of the available solutions would also integrate with #mastodon?

Well shit. I did it again and scratched my own itch and barfed out another open source project.

Introducing: Meh..

* single install serves as many sites as you want
* can be used in static websites (it's lightweight web components in the frontend)
* imports Disqus
* fetches Mastodon replies as comments
* supports different languages (so far en, fr, es, de)
* probably has bugs

@Gargron Greetings! Thank you for creating and releasing Mastodon for everyone to build communities, make connections, and support a decentralized Internet. I’m really curious about the long-term vision for Mastodon. As the network grows, what are some of the things the development team is most excited about building or improving, while still staying true to the principles of decentralization and user control?

#SchleswigHolstein goes #OpenSource

Softwaremonopole sind teuer und stehen dem #Datenschutz im Weg. Deshalb setzt die Verwaltung in Schleswig-Holstein zukünftig auf #OpenSourceSoftware. Seit kurzem können wir im Gericht #LibreOffice nutzen, Ende des Jahres wird es Pflicht. Der Umstieg fiel uns leicht, da wir es auch zu Hause nutzen. Und von unseren Kolleg:innen hat auch noch keine:r gemurrt.

Und ihr? Habt ihr schon gewechselt?

It is Today! 🎉 🎉
