Yo yo yo! Remember I promised to write about scaling mastodon.social to 43k users? I did it! https://medium.com/@Gargron/scaling-mastodon-1becde463090

the fundamental attribution error: a tendency to think that people's actions are due to their personality/disposition, not to their situation/environment.

e.g. someone doesn't anwer a message you left. You think "this person is a jerk" or "this person doesn't like me". In fact, they may be just struggling with a situation that made it hard to text back.

We all have this bias. Empathy lies in the ability to deal with the fundamental attribution error

Oh! Mastodon has built-in Atom feeds for each user:

https://SERVERNAME/@USERNAME.atom

For example: https://octodon.social/@blinry.atom

I'll make my own instance list

and hookers

To show the world you are "verified" on #Mastodon, all you do is to type, ":_white_check_mark:" next to your profile name. That's it!
Spoof of the day for me, ;-)

Okay so I have like 30 people on this thing now and I think it might be getting serious. Should I adopt a real CoC?

I should do an #introduction! I'm PatCat, an Aussie who loves talking about emerging tech and building random tech creations to see what's possible and teach others! :grinning:

I find the world of VR, AR, IoT, AI and all those other acronyms both exciting and fascinating as they grow and develop.

I also run Dev Diner, a site which tries to help the developer community keep up with everything and provides developer focused articles that highlight the cool stuff our community is doing!

Hi all!

Make your own glitchy images w/ audacity!

- Save to an uncompressed format (.bmp works great!)
- import into audacity as Raw Input w/ Encoding: U-Law and Byte Order; Big Endian
- Play with effects on all but the first quarter second or so (to avoid messing up headers)
- export to format "Other uncompressed files" and click options, set Header to RAW and encoding to U-Law. If you have issues, rename from .raw to .bmp!

Hello everyone I'd like to introduce the new @ambassador from https://a.weirder.earth

This is my attempt to fix the followbot problem. If you're an instance admin, you can install an ambassador bot on your instance.

The bot will boost the most popular toots from your instance. Someone can follow your ambassador to have your instance's best content added to their federated feed.

Feedback welcome, code here: github.com/mbilokonsky/ambassador

yay! Tusky works with octodon.social

don't know who to thank, but thanks
