About risk profile:
- Mastodon is like email because you can't delete federated toots
- Mastodon is like twitter in that Google's search bots index it, unless your admins robot.txt it away
- Mastodon is like being a teenager because the people that own your instance can see all your private stuff
Have a talk with your admin about their policies.
By default, assume everyone will be able to read your toots forever.
@NthTensor I currently look at it, but I doubt it will be as useable next week. In fact I doubt it will be good for anything other than a snapshot in time view next month.
@czmilosz probably correct, I am running 6.0 still.
So I heard people like mastodons.
@tjr87 note to self, start listening to those atticus/reznor tracks.
I feel like we are living in that montage from The Social Network where everyone is happily trying facebook for the first time and trent reznor is dropping cool beats.
I think that was before the "chicken cannibalism" sequence though so everyone be safe out there.
@Azyclar yep, though this time I didn't get a shirt.
Mastodon is giving me the same feeling of promise that diaspora did when it first came out. Looks much more likely to continue to exist with great communities too. #hopeful
@czmilosz yep, though others have had issues.
For now I am just going to assume every account is a parody. No exceptions. It's the only way to be sure.
The real question is, does the band Mastodon have an account yet?
@greermahoney sorry I could not be more help
You know USA politics has been too hard to ignore when you start using 'alternative facts' as an error to return when there is no actual data available or it fails some other check.
@greermahoney here is a screencap
@greermahoney yes that is how I added it. I am on an Android HTC if that helps
@greermahoney just installed it myself and it appears to work.

INTRO TO FEDERATION:
1. "mastodon" is a piece of software that runs on a server. There's a lot of servers that run it & u can follow ppl on other servers.
2. When u follow someone from another server, your server receives their toots.
3. The federated TL is all public toots that the server receives, ie all of the toots from everyone that ppl on your server follow.
4. ERGO: if u want to see more toots in the fed TL, follow + get other ppl on your server to follow ppl from other servers!
The cafe is not open yet and I am out of cold brew. I am being incredibly productive right now....
@paul_con now I am sad, I had managed to go a year without seeing klout mentioned.
The instances are an interesting idea. Curious to see how it goes. On the one hand the way that the interface works now would nudge people to align themselves by interests. On the other hand though, it could become more of a service provider relationship.
