@Riley 2. users are in control of what they see

something is wrong with this list...

@vjgoh There are a lot of French and German hosted instances... haven't seen much German though. Maybe they are just busy engineering things?

@ikea_femme poop.bike isn't going anywhere..... is it? What do you know??? TELL ME!

@marquesi I don't understand the reluctance to accept the word 'toot'. In the grand scheme of world events in 2017 it is not even remotely weird. Really, the the media has to say "The president of the United States tooted today...." would the embrasing part more likely be before or after the elipses? Stand tall and TOOT!

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.

@CobaltVelvet @neuwaves Hope the negotiations go well. Make sure they pay for the wall.

@stonehippo so does a 500 character post need a TLDR?

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

@unpliant diabetes kills more people than cops, just saying.

@unpliant You are right, this AD is really a distraction from the real issues, SODA nutritiously disastrous and contributing to an obesity epidemic in the US.

@munin Is that really feasible in an environment where anyone can fire up an instance? To me that would create more exceptions / complication. Would rather just rely on a separate services for public vs. secure communications.

I'm on for the forseeable future.

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

@CobaltVelvet Yessir, working now. Thank you! :heart_eyes:

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

@caseynewton Morning, you (and the tech media elite) have really done it now.... so slow in here.

@CobaltVelvet You must be getting slammed. Noticing the slow-down since yesterday and all pictures are borked in my federated timeline. Good Luck (p.s. I threw some patreon love at ya)

@pinesky@mastodon.social I think you really need a clap after public too... without it my OCD is triggered hard.

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