Your probably all going to think I'm old but does anyone else really miss LiveJournal being a thing (and not being hosted somewhere talking about queer stuff is illegal).

I like it. Make Mastodon more like Tumblr, but with less fuckery from staff and less need for stuff like xKit. Yes pls, sounds good.

If people leave because all of the SJWs and queers are coming in and “spoiling” the place, GOOD.

It's 11pm here and someone's sawing wood outside :(

if thou are arguing that singular 'they' is incorrect, thou had better not be using singular 'you'

Been learning about how mastadon works internally and playing about with webfinger. Managed to download an atom feed of all my toots.

I think one thing I will try to make a point of in the coming days is to highlight the various instances who could use help supporting their efforts financially.  I've been noticing that just a few nodes seem to get the attention in this regard.

I will post them with a short description of the instance and a link to their donations method (patreon, btc, paypal whatever) on the hashtag #buildingtheroads because I am not a clever woman.

If you want to support my little effort then please boost this :)

"Will Mastodon make any money?" scream the journalists, who have forgotten the joy of building sandcastles on the beach

perl is probably the witchiest language

you have a lot of sigils everywhere, it's old and baroque, and it can get nigh incomprehensible to read for people not well versed in it. but you can do great things with it.

intentionally multiple ways, too

the most dated thing in new doctor who: that time the hip young companion needed to know some random trivia, so she pulled out her perfectly functional phone Show more

I'm still not used to emoiji's being part of unicode especially when the pop up on my shell.

Wonders if/when there will be a star trek themed instance with a starfleet logo for the federated feed.

Accidentally said necromanager rather than necromancer. Now I want necromanager to be a proper word!

I'm going to have a look at the API's for mastadon and see how hard it's to add support for reading feeds with my django based rss reader i'm working on.

I really want the ability to selectively view other instances local timelines.

LB: the whole point is NOT that people literally want to be unaware of what's going on in the world / politics.

but when you are feeling depressed, overwhelmed, and out of control because you're so afraid and sad about the world, it's nice to have a place you can go to chill out and take your mind off it, that doesn't throw all those things in your face every 5 seconds. Hence the content warning insistence.

IT'S EASY FOR YOU (one click), and can be invaluable to somebody else's mental health

Can someone make a Twitter-bridge instance that just lets you follow anyone on Twitter from here?
