@cypnk They can take mine when they pry from my cold, dead discreet closet storage/charging chamber!

@s02303947 At some point you stopped? :thinking:

@Hulk Shouldn't that be...

"HULLLLLKKKKK FUUUUUUUUCK!"?

@cassidyjames Pretty much think it would be Mastodon. Twitter is pretty much stalled on anything not directly profit related at this point, IMO.

@EleventhOcean Check out the Mastodon Bridge site sometime.

@greermahoney Well, that is SUPERgreen! (Sorry, as long as you use that avvie...)

@greermahoney I do tend to jump in if I think my help won't escalate the situation. Sometimes a well meaning bystander can drive a situation all to hell worse than not getting involved.

@mike I am pretty much loving it because it is a multicultural mélange on meth. Plus, by beating on it and poking it with sticks and such, I can help make this the cool hangout joint I want it to be.

me: oh there's dutch on my timeline, lemme see if i can try transl....

wait, this is the lyrics to all star isn't it?

@greermahoney Can I settle for not horrible and not scaring children when I go outside? Pretty much try to live by "do no harm" and "no blood, no foul". I am humble about my limitations.

@blueminder @greermahoney Only to expand his . Don't be fooled by his lies.

@cypnk The mortally challenged have emotional needs too! No undeadshaming!

I wrote a little bit about the problems I uncovered (quite by accident!) in some common OStatus systems. I also provide some suggestions for mitigating those problems.

everything else aside I do really appreciate mastodon, its developers, and the stuff they are doing. I'm really excited precisely because masto is open source & has so many varied people working on it

More in line with my rustic theme:

Even if you're not a "rustic" person, it's good to learn basic survival skills and first aid

They may save your life or someone else's

At the very least, you should learn how to find water that's safe to drink, how to make a fire, and how to escape the elements

No one knows what the future may hold. While you may not be warding off zombies any time soon, Mother Nature can be just as scary and lethal

@cypnk Nothing about plumbing, electrical mains, or dental care?
