sup, y'all!
just wanted to make a little list of all my mastodon identities. especially since i see this rolling out as a ton of virtual communities, all loosely joined together, i feel like i'll eventually have a scattering of identities across them.
anyway, these are me:
- m3mnoch@octodon.social (my main account)
- m3mnoch@mastodon.cc
- m3mnoch@aleph.land
- m3mnoch@social.nasqueron.org

So all of these federated mastodon instances are neat, but I'm not seeing anyone making up interesting weird rule sets yet.
It seems like if we're gonna to build a galaxy, our planets should have cultures, right?
I want instances where you're not allowed to use the letter p. Where you can only use a different subset of unicode every day. Where you can only post from certain geographic locations or while going certain speeds.
Basically, I want oulipo mastodon.
so. i was thinking. (always dangerous) since this federation of microblogging thing is rolling out like a bunch of virtual communities, each with their own distinct flavor, there's a LOT of similarity with virtual worlds. especially with everyone putting together their instance's (aka community) terms of service.
luckily, raph has a sweet "declaration of the rights of avatars" he wrote up a decade or two ago.

pssst! hey guys! (and girls, of course!)
who's going to run sentiment analysis on all of the mastodon/gnu social instances to determine an asshole score? and then drop all that into an api to monitor instance connections?
c'mon now. raise your hand. don't be shy.
mastodon tools ftw!
omg! watching one punch man on netflix. IT'S AWESOME!
tusky is pretty nice given the speed of development. even if push notifications don't work.
@CobaltVelvet We're the Goldilocks zone of Mastodon? That instance is too big! That instance is too small! This instance is juuuuuuust right.
while we're sharing, i have a ton of python/react to write. i poked at mastodon all afternoon instead. #fail
how long, do you think, will it be before someone figures out mastodon can unleash inextinguishable birdsites for the darker, shadier side of the internet?
basically decentralizing awful.
the next evolution of paid lockers, warez, porn networks, 4chan along a timeline?
so, we had four accounts sitting in the waiting room for comic-con tickets. none of the four were _randomly_ picked to buy badges.
that's two-and-a-half hours of watching a spinner that i'll never get back.
*sigh*
