quick someone register birdsite.social and make it a Mastodon instance
This is the hole I throw mansplainers down. (It's a well, actually)
It has occurred to me that we don't know where all the #trekkies are hiding.
#startrek #deepspacenine #DS9 #enterprise #voyager #STDiscovery #STOS #kaaahn #nextgeneration #klingon #picard #spock #kirk #uhura #worf #vulcan #romulan #borg #bajoran #ferengi !
Where should we meet?
Oh, sorry, it's obvious.

That would make a great instance name by the way.
@shel wait, so you're a "future librarian" like, can you get me a 21st history compendium because I'm dying to know how this works out.
Hello everyone I'd like to introduce the new @ambassador from https://a.weirder.earth
This is my attempt to fix the followbot problem. If you're an instance admin, you can install an ambassador bot on your instance.
The bot will boost the most popular toots from your instance. Someone can follow your ambassador to have your instance's best content added to their federated feed.
Feedback welcome, code here: github.com/mbilokonsky/ambassador
Rule of Mastodition #5 - Everything that lasts and has value costs somebody something. So pay your host. The great chain of profit will reward you in the end.
--- Rule #5 ---
@wonderfall - Is there something like this witches.town instance block list for social.targaryen.house?
Is there any way these followbots could just, y'know, follow each other?
Sometimes you have to step back an have perspective. This mundane life, the day to day worries, there are moments that you forget that should change everything... Show more
doesn't running a Mastodon instance require replicating everything ? I wonder how many people are prepare to saturate a gigabit link and run a terrabit scale database.....
Rule of Mastodition #58 : Don't be afraid to follow, or to block. Your instance is a world of its own, but the galaxy is vast and your time is worth too much to waste finding someone again or listening to someone ramble on about the best beach on Risa.

Without the content warning this time:
we should incorporate poison-pill auto-delete terms into the default Mastodon setup (terms and conditions, any CoC that get rolled into default Mastodon) to prevent instances from being purchased for their data
@fry I mean I wasn't going to say anything... It's not the *greatest* avatar ever? It is an 80s retro thing? #niceisgood

Rewrite:
I am sorry follow bots, I will block you.
Admins of servers: If you want more federation to your servers I recommend the following: Go out into the world and look for people yourself, hard the first time? Then create an account on another server and ask for help, then use the links to read on your home-server and follow people.
Look through who they follow etc.
Actually: Admins of servers: You can follow me. Not your bot!
I wonder if I can turn off everyone's animated gif avatars. It's annoying.
