Dear World Leaders: this shit about your penises is absurd. Please stop.
@Gargron https://talker.to up and running mastodon. Get one more instance to the pool and hopefully support this great project even more. Open registration on talker.to. Hardware will be updated when needed. #talker.to #mastodon #new #instance #gnu #social #talker #federation #xmpp #jabber #mumble greetings to all whoever sees this.
the wires........ they are Safe https://witches.town/media/ze81oScdAxja2fA5bgs
For the record there are no co-founders of Mastodon. Not in a startup way (it's not a startup) nor in a development way (I started the project on my own)

First of all, you must slay the normie within
Rule of Mastodition #17 : No one really understands (the) federation they only pretend to. So don't pay good latinum to somehow who says they can spread your toots.
I love how two people, seemingly unrelated, said I should lick the Mastodon instance to find its flavor :joy:
@rj well, we can say something about octodon the sysop's priorities from the server stats dashboard https://munin.octodon.social/munin-cgi/munin-cgi-graph/octodon.social/main.octodon.social/mastodon_trans-day.png
So each instance has a "flavor," yes? How can one tell what that flavor is?

Anyone doing research on these communities? @natematias @erhardt
retoot if you love smashing capitalism, and being a bit gay
@nancybaym Homophily. It looks like most of the social computing researchers are finding their way to octodon.social.
How do people decide which instance to be on? How do you work through confusion of same acct names on different instances? Should we namestake on every instance we can and see which one seems best suited to us? How did you pick?
