Excerpt from one of my all time favorite children's books. #books #velveteenrabbit

Trying to explain what having ADHD is like is dead easy to people who hate computers: “you know when the computer tells you to do something but the sentence is too boring for you to read and take in the info, and you can’t understand why it doesn’t do what you want? Literally everything in the world is like that all the time.”

Got an email asking if I'll allow someone to create an account on here for a financial bribe. Funny, but no.

Thanks, Elon!

Are you angry at @SpaceKaren for banning, unbanning and re-banning journalists? And want all the journalists on the #Hellsite to abandon it now and come here?

You're mad as Hell and you're not going to take it anymore, right? But what can you do?

Simple. Follow every journalist on #Mastodon. Now.

Why? So the journalists that *are* here can show those who aren't---and their organizations---how big the audience is. What they understand is numbers.

We made #JohnMastodon happen. We can do this.

@acosta he was going to step down anyway. When he does, shares of Tesla will rise. All part of his grift.

#NewUsers now above 5000 per hour.

We are now higher than last week's rate. Mastodon is managing this surge so far. Some servers are lagging. Please be patient as systems administrators manage the situation. It may get worse given the Twitter news.

@mastodon.social, @mastodon.lol, @mastodon.online, @mstdn.social, and now @mas.to closed to new user registrations.

Mastodon has cracked the top ten social networking apps in the App Store. For context, Signal is at 15.

This is a shameless plea to boost this appeal for more followers. I know I might not replicate the 115k follower count on my “permanently suspended” #Twitter account where I’ve posted for 14 years. Engagement is already much better here and so far it’s devoid of trolls. Your feedback to my polls here clearly show a desire for me to actively post news and 95% say I shouldn’t take down my @elonjet tweets as demanded by the other platform for my account to be reinstated there.

This cursed rock from a 1981 issue of Dragon Magazine is basically a cellphone. They were just describing a cellphone.
