Migrated from Twitter to Mastodon but finding it hard to find the folks you used to follow?
Fedifinder can help. https://fedifinder.glitch.me
Cool tool for finding your old Twitter buddies that have moved to Mastodon (and what you can do on your Twitter account to help others find you here)
Please reblog/boost to spread the word. (Liking/Favouriting won’t help)
@EllisCrawford Voyager doesn't get enough love. Janeway was a great captain. Are you watching Strange New worlds? It's really good.
@TetZoo I came across one of these fellows last year about 30 miles south of Lake Michigan. It seems he had gotten into a fight with an open pan of used motor oil, and was unable to fly. The Department of Natural Resources came and whisked him away to be cleaned off.

Do you have a WordPress blog?
You can turn it into a Fediverse server using a simple plug-in. This means that people on Mastodon can follow it just like they follow any account on here.
Here's more info about how to do it:

(NOTE: This doesn't work on free blogs hosted by wordpress.com)
If you appreciate the plugin, remember to send its maker @pfefferle some donations at https://notiz.blog/donate
@Taweret I approve of this message.

It is similar to Howard The Duck because it wasn't popular, but it should have been. I recommend it. I particularly love the theme song- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXpWfd1BNkQ
@sgul Your toot reminded me of a quote from my favorite Intuition Pump, Sun Tzu's Art Of War-
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
@sgul I feel like this can be adapted to other situations as well. This requires some thought.

The #strategy you decide to follow is going to vary by the situation you find yourself in. Three possible situations are #uncertainty, #risk, and #certainty. In uncertainty, the strategy is #complexity i.e., soft systems, action research, and post-modernism. For risk the strategy is contingency, which includes stochastic modeling, non-linear dynamics, and master equations. Lastly, for certainty the strategy is operations. Here the focus is on self-organization and criticality (Maguire et al., 2006).
I have no idea what a master equation(s) is! Or maybe I need a coffee
@sarahhbickerton I feel I should add that it is not without risks however.
@sarahhbickerton Usually it's best to block and ignore, but sometimes one will leave himself wide open for a vebal counter-attack. Their skin is thin, and easy to get under.

From that Time Magazine interview with Mastodon founder Eugen Rochko at https://time.com/6229230/mastodon-eugen-rochko-interview/
"Mastodon, a decentralized microblogging site named after an extinct type of mammoth …"
Oh dear.

President Joe Entertainment Biden has been haunting me for years. Ever since I made a mastodon account, I haven't been able to forget his bright red eyes. He hides at the edge of my sight. I often see the reflection of his eyes on my screen. I cannot sleep for his heartbeat is deafening. He desires the soul. It's only a matter of time
this is the truth mastodon users want to hide from you

The world record for adversarial Tetris game Hatetris has just been shattered: someone got a whole 148 points before losing.
Made a little MeFi post about it: https://www.metafilter.com/197090/if-Tetris-were-Thanksgiving-dinner-with-your-shittiest-uncle
@dave3 By all means block them if that's what you gotta do, but I think I would have said something first. Remember, they can dish it out but they can't take it.
@Andy_P I'm watching The Shadow with Alec Baldwin.
