Golden age of blogging question: were there ever any notable group weblogs that were similar to MetaFilter in that every post from everyone ended up on the homepage, but where each user also got their own page/blog that just showed their own writing?
I can't remember if that's how Kuro5hin and suchlike worked
Plan A for the right is to win the midterm elections at the polls — and they might pull that off. But Plan B is to delegitimize the results if they lose. https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/tucker-carlson-primes-his-audience-suspect-fraud-if-gop-doesnt-sweep-midterms

It's the night before midterm elections and Tucker Carlson is telling his viewers that Democrats will steal the election and threaten a civil war.

I grew up in a conservative evangelical environment, would consider myself an #exvangelical . Still love Jesus, trying to find a home in a mainline denomination. Like talking theology/sports/politics. Looking to find folks from the bird site and make new online friends. Theology is somewhere between #opentheism #openandrelationaltheology and #processparty #steelers #penguins #progressive
My hunch is that MetaFilter's model where anyone could post to the homepage without going through a voting or moderation queue was and remains pretty rare - I'm thinking about this today as being kind of like how the local feed on a Mastodon instance works
I'm a #Jewish #atheist and I've been writing a fair bit about #antisemitism as the world goes to hell. This is maybe my favorite piece about those issues, on the diaspora as antifascist community: https://psmag.com/social-justice/israel-doesnt-show-us-how-to-fight-fascism-but-the-diaspora-can
#introduction
*Tap tap* Hello? Been trying to figure out getting on Mastodon for a while, but here I am now!
I’m Janna, a #queer #nerdy #Exvangelical #faithfullylgbt #AuDHD /#ADHD / #DREADpirate #DemiGirl in a closed #polyamorous #SapphicTriad in LA with our 5 cats. I spent most of my life in Alabama.
My interests are pretty eclectic, but one of my biggest ones that I’m falling back in love with is #FiberArt such as #Knitting #Crochet #Weaving etc.
Here is a scarf I made recently:
Amina Cain’s A HORSE AT NIGHT is meditative and gorgeous and just what I need right now. I want to live in this book.
Okay, I'm back. :) A bit over 1K words, so a brief break before diving in again.
Alissa begins her journey! #nanowrimo 14,600+ words total

Okay NO MORE MASTODON until the day's word count is >1K. Discipline!!

Wheeee It's a meme kind of thing!

Some of these probably are on my profile I dunno.

Any newly scaling instances curious about how they are going to govern all these new users, and build a sustainable community...
Alright so the mastodon tracker thing I made now looks a LOT better ⚡

Congrats to @MattGertz who will hopefully never be mis-tagged for a certain congressman on this platform
Hello everybody, I'm a Software Developer from the #Baltimore and #BaltimoreCounty #Maryland area. I do web projects for #FedGov for work and do scouts, PTA, and lots of kid-related stuff in my spare time.
I'm very interested in #React, #RubyOnRails, #Python, #DevOps, #ProjectManagement, #Equity, #LocalSchools, #Freemasonry and #HamRadio.
I started this Mastodon node yesterday on my super old domain name which used to host email lists after deleting my 14-year-old bird site.
Apropos of ... everything, we're on #Mastodon
Right now we're just mirroring our tweets from this account. Soon we hope to be more directly active there!
Come join us \@team https://mastodon.fightforthefuture.org/@team
We're happy to help other non-profits get set up. DM us!
So, when something like this happens, is there a way to grab the feed of this server (typo.social in this case) and see a piece of it? Not a portfolio of top 6 users with their profile pictures, but just a typical feed?
Or is this behavior different with different clients?
A consciousness somehow associated with matter.
Posting about culture, philosophy, politics, AI Art Tools, NaNoWriMo, Software Development occasionally, the relationship of consciousness to matter.
Degrees in Philosophy and Computer Science, once had a US TS/SCI(redacted) clearance, radical-for-the-US politics, ex-Libertarian, zen-buddhist-pantheist-atheist.
Google employee, but I do not speak for Google in any way.
If your profile tells me nothing about you, it's less likely I'll follow you (back).
