As you've probably noticed, for now we've discontinued our posting here on our Mastodon profile due to it being a fairly significant burden for how few people it reaches.

It's possible we may return if we can more easily mirror posts from another site. There is allegedly a bridge available at @modrinth.com@bsky.brid.gy, but BridgyFed seems to have issues.

For now, our main presence and where we'll engage is over on Bluesky @modrinth.com

@modrinth@floss.social @modrinth.com@bsky.brid.gy what burden is there extra to posting on fedi? It seems like it's the same amount of effort as posting to bsky, considering you're not running your own instance

@Chloe primarily, we post a lot of images with our weekly featured projects posts and our Mastodon instance floss.social requires alt text on all images. We post with alt text on Bluesky, but doing that for every single platform is too much of a hassle, and we've been given multiple strikes for not providing sufficient alt text here.

We could certainly switch to another instance or run our own ideally, but all that just adds to the burden for such a little benefit from what we've experienced

@oli @Chloe Looking into buffer, if it works well I'd love to resume posting to Mastodon.

Though, we will likely still have to switch instances, as we're in a weird grey area while being a fully FOSS project that also has commercial services now in partnership with a company that isn't fully FOSS. When we tried reaching out to the admins for clarification they...didn't respond
