Good morning, octodon! On my way to the Forge Midwest gaming convention here in Madison, WI #indierpg #boardgames #pbta
Here's a thing that makes Mastodon instances work less well than they could...
when you visit an instance, all the front pages look the same.
"About this instance" is a TINY little link under the sign-up form. This is crazy.
Instances should LEAD with a community description, not bury it.
That's like a newsgroup leading with the OS it used to run the newsgroup rather than saying: "This is a Kenny G community"
It was so warm today it felt like a Phil Collins album
"I used Mastodon once and now I'm a French Socialist"
@CobaltVelvet Hey gang don't forget to kick in some 💵
oh my god mastodon is a way to be nice but in a chill way to strangers on the internet
this is all i've ever wanted in life time to MAKE SOME MOTHERFUCKERS FEEL GOOD
I CAME HERE TO BE NICE TO PEOPLE AND CHEW BUBBLE GUM AND I'M ALL OUT OF PEPPERMINT BUT NO WORRIES I TOTALLY HAVE OTHER FLAVORS SO HERE HAVE SOME GUM!
:bird: something is wrong and Twitter should do something to fix it
:elephant: something is wrong and oh I guess we need to work through this complex problem and come up with a solution as a community that works for us and if other people prefer something different they can do that too
@Siphonay according to @CobaltVelvet federated is "all the toots from all the people followed by anyone on your instance"
@brooksrocco Good luck, man!
@Siphonay "i use pronouns correctly... as a generous favor to people i like"
As you settle into Mastodon, be sure to learn the lingo:
- "toot": a tweet
- "tusking": starting a pointless fight with another user
- "woolly": going viral, as in "wow, that toot really went woolly"
- "extinction event": when a whole instance goes down
@tjr87 love the corgs! :heart_eyes:
Twitter: The world is literally burning and we are all seriously going to die screaming.
Masotodon: Yep. Do your best! We believe in you! Do you like my art? You have such a great instance domain name!
@katje oi! pampaw! #theexpanse
