If I mark a post direct but don't mention anyone does it even exist?

And #Twitter CEO even responded 👌

@oneoffsuit Cherry switches and a ridiculous justification for including a carriage return lever? I'M IN

I have barely used my other social media accounts since Mastodon came out.

@tfj I also think that most people are doing their best to create the world that they think will be most beneficial to everyone. In other words, I disagree with people often, but I default to trusting their motives. My judgment is that sociopaths and psychopaths are rare (not nonexistent, but definitely not the norm).

The real value add of Mastodon is giving everyone an excuse to finally put something on all the weird domains they've been squatting

@cunningcorvid @BradyDale Compassion is a big, BIG thing. Even the people who share my political ideals too often succumb to being angry with the other side, and choosing to express their ire rather than understanding the opposition.

It sure makes it hard to change minds when you approach them as the enemy.

come on I don't want to have to ban that. could you not?

warnings. that expire after some time. we need a way to count offenses. that'd be great.

and this social network— mastodon— doesn't need to go viral or be overhyped. this is what people need, simplicity at its finest. i bet most of the people here are those who are tired of seeing crazy people with crazy minds (literally) on the other networks. world's getting messier out there, but i hope that this network only contains the calm and positive people.

Ok guys, very funny.

letting out a long, silent stream of toots silently at work today

I'm on #teamfollowback for the forseeable future.

Building a timeline from scratch means experimenting with different content, and most importantly–meeting some new people!

Images disappeared for a moment, sorry, just fixed it.

It's nice that mastodon is supported by a large corporate sponsor but having a button dedicated to The CW is a bit much.

Just in case you didn't see it, I finally made a Patreon:

I like the way that Mastodon is a hybrid blogging/chatting social networking platform. It is more interactive than Twitter and more globalized than Facebook. Octodon allows me to interact with a small community while still being part of a global one with privacy controls. It is the best of both worlds. It's love at first site!
