that the mastodon federation works so well despite massive queue delays indicates it would also work well even with instances scattered about the solar system. a trial run for a future we have yet to immanentize
The number of queer users on Mastodon/Imzy is a pretty strong indictment of mainstream social networks—as if the issues with those services weren't public enough already.
I don't judge social networks in terms of Twitter-killers, just as I don't see every new Linux distro as a Mac/Windows-killer. If the goal is to provide a valuable alternative that makes a difference to people, success is not an all-or-nothing matter. This is the culmination of every innovation—when it starts sprouting niches.
another day volunteering at the richard dawkins museum. everyone keeps asking me what they can take through security. honey,
Hi, I made a joke about the Wendy's chicken nuggets RT thing & it got misinterpreted and now some earnest young man got 10,000 RTs on his attempt to get an internship with me, goddamnit the Internet is just too much sometimes.
I don't even feel like this has to supplant twitter to be useful or successful or whatever. The social mass that twitter has accumulated isn't going anywhere soon. But an alternate, potentially more intimate form that could coexist? Interesting.
That meta hottake, by the way, was my first #Exactly500 toot.

pretty pleased to have chosen octodon.social as my instance, and it was for no particular reason. It's got such a nice fedfeed.
Random further #IntroductionGame tags:
I live in #Berkeley and work in #SF
Conveniently, I also read #SF if the tags are getting confused.
Let's also tag that #SFF, #ScienceFiction, #Fantasy, and #SpecFic hey.
I never did do that #IntroductionGame thing since trying to tag myself intimidates me so much. But it really is better to be incomplete than missing, so let's go... A random smatter of uncurated interests:
#RPG (especially #Fate)
#feminism
#QT (#LGBT if you gots to)
#Programming
#WebTech
#Transhumanism
