my parents are watching seinfeld
this is ok because memes never consist of a full TV episode

you can have gifs as profile pics and it actually works? i need to make a gif somehow. link me a tool to make a gif out of photoshop layers?

anyone else getting a popsocket? it's been a psuedo-trend just this week
i'm more excited than i should be for mine to ship. my profile pic is on it, (chose it for my popsocket before mastodon)

i think mastodon's feeds that push out any recent posts, while still being a small social, makes this great to start growing an account right away. i can find people to follow and people can find and follow me.

i'm going to try really hard on this social not to be political. my twitter sometimes makes me facepalm at some arguments i see

octodon looks a bit too much like twitter already does

problem with the instances of mastodon is having to create a new account on each one. i want this account ported over to mastodon.club since they have a cooler

a e s t h e t i c

holy crap they have an instant refresh for new posts i think, i love that
and it's not bad on the mobile app, you have to pull to refresh

@archaicartist Yep, Something like the old Hootsuite, when they were serving Facebook feed as well as Twitter timeline!

oh no...
mastodon uses UK english

So. If I had a wish for Mastodon, it would be to have a desktop app for Windows.

Even more perfect, it could be integrated in a tool where my Mastodon, Twitter and Facebook feeds would be, avoiding me to have 14 apps / webpages opened at the same time. I'll need soon a fourth screen otherwise :/

An idea from @HedgeMage

"Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."

Here's my list of interests!








also they need to learn from twitter, editing posts is a thing they might want to add

actually it might be because i'm using octodon, default mastodon site is down right now

first toot on mastodon. so far it's pretty cool looking but personally i'm not a fan of the tweetdeck layout. love the long character limit.
