@spacekookie Hi, same! Except I'm more of a wannabe when it comes to games and writing. Have you heard of NaNoGenMo? Gen for (computer) generation
- I write software for a living
- Sometimes write software for fun (mostly games and useless utilities)
- I'm writing a scifi book I started for #NaNoWriMo
- Searching for a community to share my work and passions with that isn't as toxic as most other places on the internet
- Excited about #mastodon :)
@red new Tig? Oooh
@cliffcheney Hey nice toot!
So is there any way the email analogy falls down?
@larrybob I don't have very deep jazz recommendations, been listening to Cory Henry recently https://youtu.be/T7iVpEwmuRo, and a long time fan of Vulfpeck https://youtu.be/le0BLAEO93g
@Myrkskog climbing since I was a kid, dad taught me in Yosemite, only got good again after grad school
@Myrkskog haha yeah "meet me in the wilderness"
@annakoop That's kind of a shame, maybe an important part of the distributed system
@Savagejen @asherwolf yeah i'm just one guy with a patreon. people have been really generous but it's not at a "can hire someone" level
As you settle into Mastodon, be sure to learn the lingo:
- "toot": a tweet
- "tusking": starting a pointless fight with another user
- "woolly": going viral, as in "wow, that toot really went woolly"
- "extinction event": when a whole instance goes down
@clstal Yay! New bands! Thanks :)
@annakoop ah, makes sense to me! Can you move to another server and keep account history?
@annakoop what analogy?
@larrybob thank you for the breakfast soundtrack! I'll check out other stuff by Bad Plus, you looking for any genre recommendations?
@Myrkskog been trying to climb more, want to be good enough to join people on bouldering trips to like Joshua Tree. I once went on a bouldering first date with a girl who was into climbing, but I was out of shape so I couldn't do anything (couldn't hang?) haha embarassing
Do you wish there was a language filter like "Only show posts in English"?
Am I the only one who is hearing this constantly with all this talk about federating? https://vimeo.com/4150236
