What can I do to spread word about Mastodon even further?
Does anyone want to start an orginisation that just brings people together online to make small specialised apps? Like desklet things for Ubuntu/Mint and stuff like that.
The purpose would be to give an easy opening into open source projects and to put people in contact with each other. We have lots of developers and lots of artists and writers and stuff.
Also I am annoyed with the world and want to do something.
"Judge Rhonda Loo ordered Daren Young on Friday to write 144 compliments about his ex-girlfriend, in response to the 144 'nasty' text messages and calls that he is accused of sending her.

@ink_slinger @arjaybe @saper If you have an iDevice, there's a version of Scrivener you can run on that: https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener_ios.php Just hook up a bluetooth keyboard and you're good to go...
(Writing on an iPhone may sound impractical, but I did tons of writing back in the day on a Handspring Visor with an external keyboard, and it only had a 160x160 display)
