@wogan terrific guide to setting up a Mastodon instance, thanks! https://wogan.blog/2017/04/09/getting-started-with-mastodon/

A well thought out assessment of Mastodon's potential future by https://noagendasocial.com/@chris http://chrisabraham.com/blog/secret-mastodons-success-mastering-hyperlocal

"Should the Hyperloop Be for Cities or Suburbia?" https://www.citylab.com/tech/2017/04/with-its-first-test-track-hyperloop-moves-forward/522150/?utm_source=twb < there's a good question

@FoxtrotUniform yes, try Tusky, Android app for Mastodon, I think it's pretty good https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keylesspalace.tusky&hl=en_GB

@tp_da I watched part of the live press conference from Moscow earlier in which the Russian foreign minister spoke of the need for an investigation into who was behind the chemical attack. Fine, get on with it!

I find Octodon a really friendly place. Enjoying the French speakers' toots :smile:

@shelholtz :vulcan:

@bbc are you genuine BBC?

@shelholtz got it. Noting that your user name on Octodon has a hyphen. So, two user names?

Mastodon User Guide on Github, very handy https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-Mastodon/User-guide.md

@shelholtz are you different on Octodon than on Tetaneutral?

@shelholtz a pretty confusing state of affairs

@theverge I like your content, but here on Mastodon, it's too much in the overall totality of content I see in my federated timeline. You overwhelm. So, sorry, it's bye bye, I'll read your stuff on Twitter

@pyrorian this is a bit different in that we can see the result of that chemical attack, ie, there was one. But I get your point. Plus Trump is in charge now!

Listening to radio news about Syria and the chemical weapons attack last week that led to the US missile strike. I don't understand why the US can't provide clear proof that the chemical attack was done by the Syrian regime. Instead, all we get is the word 'alleged,' constant denials by Assad and the Russians and attempts to shift blame to the rebels. What gives?

@BryanPerson the article is there, Bryan, looks like the link in my toot had some extra characters. Here's a link that works: http://theconversation.com/prepare-british-children-for-life-after-brexit-teach-them-another-language-74941

Seems that every time I look at Twitter, there's yet another report or revelation about United Airlines and it's passenger brutality. #UnitedJourney

@sapadian hmm, not sure I agree with 'all airlines' and the flying process (I find the typical airport experience worse). But United Airlines get top marks for the most egregious treatment of customers. Hyperloop does look interesting as do electric airplanes.
