Time to try to get some sleep. Hope I don't ever wake up again.
When I grew up: USSR is communist, China is militarist, USA is capitalist, Mastodon is extinct.
These days: Russia is kleptocratic, China is capitalist, USA is militarist, Mastodon is alive!?
YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE. SDF has just acquired Microsoft. Our first act as the new owner of Microsoft is to release GITHUB under the NetBSD license and revert our company logo back to HEAVY METAL...... #GitHub
The boy cried "Wolf!" and when the wolves came running to his aid, he laughed.
"One day," they said, "you'll cry for us, and we won't come."

sure man building rockets is plenty of fun, i totally get that
what about the people trying to survive without a fucking empire, drowning with self-righteous egoists in a pathetic shithole
i'm much more likely to get murdered by a nazi than ever touching any rocket engine and fuck you for letting that happen passively, elon

Protip:
When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

Mastodon tip: You can reply to your own toots. This won't put your username in the toot, but it /will/ mark your reply as part of a conversation.
Among other things, this makes it easier for others to follow what you're saying, if you're posting multiple toots in succession; all they have to do is click one toot and it'll expand the whole conversation thread.
I've updated my brief introduction to Mastodon with a new heading: "How private is "Private"?": https://gist.github.com/joyeusenoelle/74f6e6c0f349651349a0df9ae4582969#how-private-is-private
I've reprinted it here because it should be read.
I cannot stress this enough: Private toots are not encrypted or secure.
The admin of your server can read any toot posted on their server, as well as any toot sent to a user on their server. This is a necessary security precaution.
My name is Florian, a web developer from the Arnhem, Netherlands area. My hobbies include languages, audio engineering, reading, composing and just havin' a good ol' time. I'm a fully blind developer and my guide dog and I get up to a bunch of mischief. Accessibility is a topic dear to my heart and I make it a point to keep my (web) accessibility skills and knowledge up to snuff. I occasionally give talks on the subject as well. Come say Hi some time! :) #introductions
Ohhh..not even close
About what kind of privacy you can expect on the fediverse.
I have a hard time finding people on here. I remember the bird site being a little like this when I was starting out. Not sure it was quite this hard tho.
There are times when I simply want to strangle whoever put together crontab's format.
While I'm at it, whoever designed the arguments to find, as well.
GAH.
Wow is that article full of backhanded compliment and general ignorance.
Also, no, Mastodon is not developed by a single person, it has 451 contributors.
And no, Mastodon is not the only one decentralization effort, and certainly not the first. Try GnuSocial and Friendica which existed long before Mastodon (with which Mastodon is actually compatible) and also projects like Diaspora*, with their own proto.
This guy clearly has little understanding of what he's talking about.
