@Siphonay here's a famous Alexis from the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_Ohanian
@Averly go to sleep; hopefully we'll all be here tomorrow
@dredmorbius i'm 100% sure that mastodon will also devolve into hate once enough users join the platform
@Averly i'm sorry but you're not going to sleep tonight
@NthTensor completely agreed now that you mention it.
I love bird-site too much to be wanting mastodon to replace it, but I hope it becomes something unique where people can use it for a different use-case.
@twitter WAIT, you're not the real bird-site... https://octodon.social/media/m12-SXu918grokqinPg
@NthTensor @SuzanEraslan my biggest concern is if the local instance owners will perhaps use the data/toots for malicious uses, and the fact that since the code is open source, other folks can prod into vulnerabilities.
other than that, i find this to be a refreshing change from the bird site
@ChemiKhazi i hear ya; it's a pain in the butt, especially for lazy people like me
@Winneganfake you can search them, or if you already know their username, it's @{{username}}@{{instance}}
@NthTensor er, I guess I meant public in the wrong sense; mastrodon is public in the sense that it's open source, but each local instance can enforce their own ruleset as needed.
Hopefully this will allow people to create little pockets of groups that are protected by their beliefs, but as a whole, will act as what Twitter functions as
@Averly hello 😀
@NthTensor my hope is that the local mastodon/admins will be able a maintain a safe and fun environment for all since this is not meant to be a punblic platform.
one can only hope though...
@hillel HELLO
@ChemiKhazi pollen allergies?
@NthTensor i partially agree with you; but for now i see mastrodon as a free haven which i can just have fun
@SuzanEraslan this is a free world, treat it as you wish
