Never thought Elon Musk would do so much for the adoption of a decentralised infrastructure…

Please Elon, can you buy Elsevier ?

When people find out I'm a lousy electrician, they're usually shocked.

@idoubtit Wheb I was a kid, we went to The Wonder Spot. Is that what you mean by spooky geology? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wond

@idoubtit @john
They went from saying "it isn't happening" to "it's happening, but humans didn't do it." The next stage is likely "it's happening, and we did it, but it's too late to do anything."

@todayilearned@botsin.space Richard Wiseman always has something interesting.

@craigni I guess I should have said "by the lake". The sun doesn't actually set over the lake.

request for comments, fedi blocks 

i want to make a little website to aggregate and organize fediblocks, and existing instance blocklists, and tell you how to import it in your instance and submit reports. im thinking of splitting it by easy to confirm tags (racism, antisemitism, transphobia, etc) and include an archive of the posts and whether its still published. all this anonymous so chuds cant harass you for submitting instances.

we have needed this since forever, no one has built it afaik, what do you think. am i missing a critical point. is this perfect. please we need to improve society somewhat

@craigni I like the winter when the sun is low in the sky. You can watch the sun set over the lake, then run to the elevator in the John Hancock building to watch the sun set again at the observation deck.

@War_Kittens There are still some a$$-holes from the early days who hoped this would be a new 4chan, but they are mostly in certain instances, so they are easy to block. If the twitter exodus keeps up, they will be far far outnumbered by cool people.

@nt5tm I was only an occasional visitor before, but it's gotten a lot more lively over the past few days. Lots of new people, and they seem mostly cool.

Really important thing you need to know about Mastodon: You don't need to use the official app!

There are some good third party apps listed on Mastodon's own site:

➡️ joinmastodon.org/apps

The third party apps have more features and had way more development time.

:android: Android users might want to start with Tusky and Fedilab

:apple_inc: iPhone/iPad users might want to read this: transponderings.blog/2022/05/2

Mastodon is an open platform, so third party apps can use its features fully.

@wesmorgan1 I see dozens every year, but I only see one or two natives.

A cryptobro DMed me to ask if I wanted to join his mailing list.

I spent slightly too long making this to send in reply.

I’m seeing long-time Mastodon folks asking people to please PLEASE use CW on posts about political topics and then I’m seeing almost no one actually do that. It’s so important to keep up with the culture of this space that was established long before many of us got here. Just use the CW!!

folks at the plumbers conference were showing good belt discipline initially but now the cracks are starting to show
