A Mastodon instance for people interested in multimedia, codecs, encoding, decoding, assembly, SIMD and other related areas.
Full-text search enabled. Char limit: 2048. That's eleven bits. For higher quality and less banding.
There's a public Matrix chat lobby for this instance on #lobby:pars.ee. Feel free to join even if you're not part of this instance.
Media content not transcoded: H.264, VP9, AV1, AAC, MP3, Opus, and FLAC. 8-bit only, 420, 422, 444, or gbrp. All can be contained in standard ISOBMFF. Patches can be found here.
Rules:
Do not harass or attack people. Racism, misogyny, *phobia and similar are completely out.
Do not spam.
Do not post anything illegal. Posting loli is. Posting patents or leaked specification documents isn't.
Do not block any users who have not interacted with you directly by either CCing you, replying to you or boosting you. Faves do not count as interations.
NSFW: must be tagged as such, but do not post porn, do it elsewhere.
Do not embarrass yourselves or say something you'll possibly regret in the future. Use common sense.
Try to be kind to people. They've probably had a worse day than you have.
