Let's try this thing out again.
Replaced the shocks on my car last week. I cant believe how much smoother the ride is now. Show more
Also also: If you claim to care about free speech you should also care about the basic principle of voluntary association, and thus people not wanting to hear or propagate your speech. *For any reason.* Defederation is a *basic requirement* for free speech to exist on Mastodon as anything other than a recapitulation of the worst corners of the internet.
BAD WOLF
I've tooted once this week.

:bird: something is wrong and Twitter should do something to fix it

Tech Talk: If you are encountering massive memory leaks in your Node.JS apps this week, it's not just you. (Well. Maybe.)

As you settle into Mastodon, be sure to learn the lingo:
- "toot": a tweet
- "tusking": starting a pointless fight with another user
- "woolly": going viral, as in "wow, that toot really went woolly"
- "extinction event": when a whole instance goes down

Mastodon right now:
