they put a christmas sweater on the t-rex at the national history museum in london and it's ridiculous and adorable
What Android app are people using for Mastodon? The website shows controls the official app doesn't. I have "home" but I doubt I'm getting local feed to look at the stream from my instance. I'm open to a better experience on the phone.

I haven't been able to get the mastodon app to work for the last couple days on the mas.to server, which is where I am. For some reason the Tusky app is able to access my account. Anyone know why this is?

I took time to hug and assure my wife @mikmaqpeek it wasn't her coughing that had me up at various times last night. It was being bossed around and told what's-what, being complained at and grumbled to. Some people's puppies!

The opening to Shine On You Crazy Diamond still gives me goosebumps to this day. Wonderful.

@JeremyLittau Admins deciding what is "safe" for their users (which is very unsafe, by the way) is what creates silos. If a site's admins habitually defederate sites they don't like, then a silo is the result, by definition.
weirder.earth is an example of a Mastodon site that turned into a silo. They block so many peers, some of their users now can't connect to most of their friends.
This is why I believe blocking should be done at the user level only, with the help of opt-in blocklists.

@theidealistic1 Howdy! I look forward to seeing you continue here. :)

I can't help but notice many toots from helpful newbies encouraging you to support the Mastodon Patreon.
It's fine to do that but understand it goes to just two big instances and the official Mastodon dev team.
It does NOT trickle down to YOUR instance. If you want to support your server, donate to it directly. Nearly all the costs of the explosive growth of the past few weeks is borne by local instances.
Mastodon is decentralized. There is no Mastodon Inc. This is not Twitter.
@Pantangelini You sound like you absolutely have a social agenda.
Whenever I think maybe I'm being just a bit too dark and cynical about humanity, I have these kinds of incidences to remind me I just need to lower my expectations.

funny how this guy accuses me of harassment and doesnt bother to actually give a screenshot or a post... either way I do feel deeply sadened he fee...
So... because of https://twitter.com/MojangStatus/status/1593180468089917440?s=20&t=YZpdpiAoEPlQyNSJSb5ynw which is *not* actually fixed, I'm using Bedrock Edition to connect to the Java server using GeyserMC.
Ugh!

That said I went through my entire search history, literally every interaction I ever had with him. Literally all of it is overwhelming examples of me supporting him and being nice and doing everything I could to be kind and welcoming to him... not one exmaple of nastiness. Here are tthe examples:
https://qoto.org/@freemo/103611927414971482
https://qoto.org/@freemo/103875635455378427

https://qoto.org/@freemo/103895288785997479
https://qoto.org/@freemo/103687371610964915
I could literally list 100 more positive interactions of me reaching out trying to be nice and supportive and cant find a single one of me "attacking" him.
No reports, no issues of harassment, just me flooding him with niceness and one day I find us blocked.

I lost an eyeball down my pants while sitting on the loo. I must have a screw loose. I'll have to go to Walmart to kit out and tighten things up. I'll wait for @mikmaqpeek though. She may have a list.
Yay! Follow #DogsOfMastodon if you need more dog pics in your life. I've been posting some of Tilly under that hashtag. Welcome!
Tilly yips at me with her "baby" at her feet. I'm to take it and throw the doll down the hall. She races away, then brings it back with this huff-panting that sounds like laughter to me. Then she makes me chase her a bit until Tilly drops the toy for me to throw it down the hall again. I so love the sound of her running and her laughter! #DogsOfMastodon @mikmaqpeek
Have you heard anything about Norton Chrome Extension calling qoto.org a "very dangerous website"? I sent an invite to someone and it blocked her. She used another browser and it's fine. Weird...
@helenangel Yay! Glad to see you here!
@profmobius and @searge, yay! It's cool to see people from #Minecraft around here. I actually originally joined the Birdsite to track what was going on with Minecraft. :)
@astrotoya You mentioned feeling ill on the other site. My wife's had a horrible sore throat, coughing, no fever. She ended up getting pink-eye. I've been putting drops in her eyes and she has several inhaler medications to help her lungs through this. She's getting better, but tires easily. I hope you get better soon too!
