Has anyone written or read a roundup of apps and services that integrate with mastodon. Either for users or for instance admins? Link?

@Antanicus at least a group of regular users will learn about DNS privacy issues for the first time while another group of users will realise that their ISP or Google aren't the only options.

A new monk shows up at a monastery where the monks spend their time making copies of ancient books. The new monk goes to the basement of the monastery saying he wants to make copies of the originals rather than of others' copies so as to avoid duplicating errors they might have made. Several hours later the monks, wondering where their new friend is, find him crying in the basement. They ask him what is wrong and he says "the word is CELEBRATE, not CELIBATE!"

Staring at mastodon for hours after months away. Reminds me so much of the magic of 2008 Twitter. It's nearly bed time and I'm seeing a stream of people on the other side of the world saying good morning.

@gwen unless someone is prepared to buy it. In which case joke is on them.

Does Facebook consider coercion the same as giving permission, a while back I took these screenshots after a messenger update as part of my collection on evil design patterns… the arrow animates under Ok and the other option is to Learn More, then Not Now, there is NO option.

What's new in mastodon land? Features, apps, integrations? Just taking another look around.

@a will do! I've registered a domain and have the requisite free time tomorrow.

Does support emoji domains or special character or internationalized domains? Would they appear correctly next to a username in the feed or on profile pages. Hmmm this might make it worth testing my own instance.

Somebody should start an 'official celebrity' Mastodon instance, and only let frightened celebs into it so they can all feel safe that their identities have been 'claimed'. Charge them a nominal fee. Make money. That's a free idea, you can have it.

@nicolejensen it's 2008 again so... when are you starting the Brisbane Tooters Underground Brigade?

Watching the growth on instances.mastodon.xyz is exciting. Feels like 2008 up in here.

@Swaino yup, just like email. Signing up for username@gmail.com doesn't grant you username@outlook.com
