all these toots will be lost in time, like tears in rain
keep in mind guys even if you think it's just internet, there will still be people who rember you and who you mattered to when you leave

Please everybody, if your posts contain something that could recall a traumatic experience to another user, remember to tag them by using the "Content Warning" button. That's why it exists.
Mirror mirror,
On the wall...
Who is the mastodon,
To rule them all?
so is there some way to see what privacy options were chosen for a toot? Even for my very own toot? I feel like I'm missing something.
also, LaTeX mode for Mastodon when??

Why There Are No New Social Networks

The author doesn't seem to get that an open federated network, such as Mastodon, is fundamentally different and not subject to the same market forces as a traditional social network.
Why doesn't he federated timeline on the mobile chrome android version pause like I'm the desktop? I can't read it with all the new toots flowing in.
Oh ya, scored. I think it's sudden death. Yep. Leafs up 2-1 in a playoff series? When has that happened last? Great
Are there sports on mastodon? I don't watch much sportd but watching the Leafs game and it's intense. #goleafsgo
So at the risk of creating a tear in spacetime, and because we have no Discovery Trailers to look at, what did people think of the new Star Wars Trailer? (sips tea.)
Rule of Mastodition #83 : Yes people speak other languages here. What language are you speaking #Huuumaaahn? Isn't your universal translator working? You'll never profit if you can't speak to most of the galaxy.

Hello, Octodonners. It looks like Alice's patreon in support of our chosen instance has plateaued. Please do what you can to help our friendly neighborhood cyberpunk queen, @CobaltVelvet
Donating is grand; boosting this, even, will be helpful, to get the message around.
Been thinking about @mala's comments yesterday about how mastodon's diy and decentralized vibe evokes the spirit of the "first web".
On the one hand, I am feeling the nostalgia for power-to-the-people techno-utopianism.
On the other hand, we've since learned that the most likely outcome of that ideology looks less like infinite transcendent expression and more like /r/bitcoin.
Can we do better this time?
tbh prioritizing witches & furries over encryption seems like a reasonable start…
It looks like Japanese people think they're disturbing other language speakers by filling up timeline with Japanese toots. That's not true at all
I just went around and did some basic nmap-ing on the most popular Mastodon instances, and there's some seriously sketchy stuff in there. Publicly reachable Postgres servers, tons of open internal HTTP ports, SSH with password login, multiple Mastodon instances that seem to be running on mail server VMs, …
I guess if you're just running a single-user instance for yourself, sure, but those are all 2000+ user instances.
Just imagine one edge case we're not seeing for now: many people using it (let's say millions) and following a very famous person
That person must have their own instance at this point, at least.
... what happens when they toot?
just imagine the enormous peaks and lag it'll do. And we're not even talking about media.
How would Mastodon realistically handle Katy Perry? I have no idea.
