I guess in the end I'm fine with people blocking me. I really don't think this very huge thing that affects millions and millions of people deserves to be hidden from view. (Also, though, I didn't mean to add this to the public timeline, thought I turned that off)

@pearwaldorf I guess I don't see the point of a social network where you have to ignore large parts of your life in order to participate.

One of the things I find least attractive about masto at this point is the treatment of all things political as a verboten subject. We just bombed another country. I have friends who are scared about getting deported. I also have friends who will lose their jobs due to funding cuts. I guess I'm supposed to ignore all that? Yes, it's depressing, but I worry if communities try to pretend this stuff doesn't exist they'll just let it happen.

Last time I tried to post from Amaroq the picture didn't come through so I am trying again

@unextro apparently not!

@todrobbins I'm never going to get this right

@deafferret I have been that family :( Luckily got the dog back. I learned to make a lot of noise and run the other way to get the dog to chase me.

I gave a short talk on accessibility for a local group earlier, sharing my slides: go.unl.edu/bootaccess

My goal is to turn this into an actual blog post for our development blog

@tjr87 ha, I got mountains, then road signs, then store front, then mountains again

@adr I thought that may be the case because I have not heard great things about the burgers at the one here.

@adr There's an A&W down the street from me but I have never eaten there.

I just got hit by one of those "prove you're a human" things and... I can't get past it

@adr Awww, I see the dog. He is a good dog.

He's very proud of himself.

I sort of wish we could choose to use mastodon more like Instagram- mainly, a setting to show inline images as square rather than landscape oriented. Anyway, here is a dog sitting on another dog.

@austin It seems like a big drawback - we'd still need to rely on other networks to find people. Might come with time, though?

@brandontlocke @adr @sarahjeong Wow I just heard about it this week. I'm not hip.

@brandontlocke I really want to run my own instance on nirak.net. Like my own little island. I'd have to change servers though.

Everyone's on that other site (mastodon.social) but I guess it doesn't even matter right??? :D :D
