Show me another CEO that has more skin in the game at 1AM in the office.
These young engineers are learning from the most innovative person of the twenty-first century.

Every time I see 20+ users sign up in a matter of a few minutes I instantly think "What dumbass shit did Musk do now..."
@kathygriffin Should we all impersonate your KathyGriffin@twitter acct? It would be wild.

Africa is huge - bigger than the US, Europe, China, India, Mexico and Japan combined!

I joined this site a fortnight ago today.
I did not have a clue how it worked, or about its lore and culture.
Now, it seems intuitive - though not because I am adept but because networks and protocols are familiar and practical things.
We use them all the time: www, mobiles, emails, etc.
And this place is structured to encourage calm civility.
It was Twitter which was strange and, in many ways, inhumane - rewarding clicks and rage and vileness.
We just got used to it.
And now we are out.

I don't know if this is a Mastodon issue or a journa.host ( @info ) issue but searches for hashtags return almost nothing. Instead I go to the URL bar and enter
https://journa.host/tags/finance (for example) and see scores of posts. Strange.
Look upthread ⬆️
To be more specific, won't let me domain subscribe to scholar.social.
Won't let me subscribe from QOTO.
Matthias Pfefferle is known to be quite willing communicate directly with people having trouble with his plugin. He is @pfefferle on several platforms, and @pfefferle.
I don't believe they even know about me.
Scholar.social won't even let me subcribe.
I am tech-aware but not technical, at least not in the modern sense. I can program in C++, #scheme, & #fortran , and I administered a Wordpress site a decade ago. So what I say is not very deep.
I know the hyphens improve the name law-and-politics.online BUT they will cause you serious frustration for the followers for remembering it. Much better would be LawAndPolitics.online .
Invest in both domain names to prevent malicious domain squatting.

@EubieDrew scholar.social is actually one that wont be changing their toon anytime soon. They were exceedingly vile and in fact the reason QOTO exists at all.
I started my career there and it was my first account. I saw the admin banning en mass LGBTQ members (I joined because they boasted LGBTQ friendly stance).. I found out it was because those members were following bad-actors, though they were doing it to monitor for doxxing and calls to violence so they could warn their community.
Anyway when I saw this I started QOTO as a truly LGBTQ friendly place that would protect them rather than punish the victims. The users from there and other instances around the fediverse flocked to QOTO and we very quickly exceeded the size of the scholar instance and others and became one of the largest, LGBTQ friendly and free speech instances on the fediverse. Since then we have grown to be one of the largest non-general instances onn the whole network.
Anyway the owner of the scholar instance was furious and of course banned me and labeled me a nazi for doing it. He also banned our instance so he could not only ban his members but prevent them from easily migrating over to here...
I tried reaching out to him years ago to make peace but he was very aggressive and abusive and the very idea that I should date to email him.
So yea.... very toxic instance and no hope of recovering that sadly.
The ones that have caused a frustration for me are:

Can y'all recommend any journalists to follow on Mastodon?
It's possible to turn a #WordPress website into a #Fediverse node w/ #ActivityPub #plugin. That means it'll be like a limited #Mastodon server where your #blog posts are #crosspost'ed, people can toot you & you can toot back. You could be @Teri@TeriKanefeld.com❗️
