the project i've been working on recently uses both javascript and plain ol' C and wow! it is incredibly hard to shift back and forth between those two languages constantly

who here likes making posts and haveing fun with their friends

@Elex i think the setup might be just complicated enough to keep it from becoming a "Thing" but i'd also be surprised if it completely dies out anytime soon

ben boosted

= MASTODON =
WHAT THEY EXPECTED: a VC backed startup intending to destroy twitter
WHAT THEY GOT: a bunch of cyberpunk kids hanging out behind the mall

thinking more on it, 500 characters might be too much posting power.... just imagine the Goodposting Efficiency you can achieve with this much room in a language that's more dense than english

日本語の500文字に幾つジョークを書けるか?

i awaken from my slumber to post once more...

@oyasumi yeah... a multi-pronged badposting assault, just crazy enough to work

i've been alerted that people can in fact stop me from forcing them to read my atrocious posts through clever use of the "Block" and "Mute" options and buddy, i aint happy about it

@Elex i gotta say im really starting to warm up to this "give everyone a megaphone" style of social media

on twitter you gotta attract people to your brand, make people follow you so you can get your content seen.

here? hoo boy, i can just shout into the void and make y'all read my terrible posts and there's nothing u can do to stop me

it's cool to be able to see other people's recent posts without having to follow them or be searching for something in particular. a neat way to post and interact

this Mastodon business is a lot easier to grasp if you just think of it like email, except everyone can see your posts

is 5 posts already in too deep.... is it too late to start over in this crazy new world of "Mastodon"....

dam i should've set up a unicornfan.com instance for maximum vanity

@ikea_femme show a kid poop.bike and they'll have a laff. give the kid an account on the poop.bike instance and they'll laff for a lifetime

i still don't "get" mastodon but it's comfy and 500 chars is nice

i like this better than twitter already because u can properly tell joke's. why did the chicken cross the road Show more
