Taking a moment to :pray: appreciate that Mastodon has a 500-character limit. At 140 characters there's no way @sapadian and myself could even begin to exchange any sort of ideas :joy:

Idea. There should be one instance where people can talk about new features, that instance should allow for voting, somehow, to steer new development features.

Well did some work on my instance in the last 48hrs, I am waiting for DNS to resolve then I will attempt to finish it up and work on getting it posted for everyone to join. Stay tuned...

I am toiling on my new instance name, I know it has to be badass, and still meaningful. I get like this with all of my domain names. I know if I rush into it I'll be buying more than one. It is one of my worst flaws. So here is to pondering. I am going to take my time on this one.

Ok folks I need a little feedback what topics should I consider for a mastodon instance anyone?

the old internet; the seeming miracle of connecting with strangers across maps and time zones; that friendship is discovering they are like you in all the ways that matter and different in all the ways that are interesting; the serendipity of stumbling sideways into coding because you simply want to connect to more people in more ways; the resurrection of the old internet

I think Mastodon needs a federated timeline feature to pause it so you can comment on a post if you like it.

I'm digging this time lapse photo of birds I ran across. Looks like a tape tornado. Others here: timewheel.net/amazing-chronoph

I'm feeling a dread about the situation in Syria, simply because Russia is their ally. Anything larger than a proportional response could be dangerous.
