BREAKING: Before Elon halted Twitter Blue yesterday, it appears that only 61,000 of the 450,000,000 active users on Twitter have subscribed, according to Mashable.

This would equate to $488,000 in revenue per month for Twitter or $5.8M a year.

It would take Elon 7,586 years to make back his $44B money at that rate.

Oh man... just found that the "MASTO 95" theme is the correct way to use this site.

Looking forward to learning more about this platform and how it might replace Twitter or even Facebook.

If you want to delete all your old Twitter DMs (which I think is a good idea even if Twitter might retain copies of them somewhere), and also your historical likes, RTs, and any tweets you don’t want to keep, I made a Twitter app for that.
It’s called Semiphemeral and it’s pretty easy to use. I posted instructions for how to do it https://twitter.com/semiphemeral/status/1591258781098594304?s=46&t=L4aWvmyNxEFRL6eULgeO-A

I haven't posted on here before about RP-8, my #pico8 demake of ReBirth RP-8, so here's an ultra-lazy demo of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fidiVjVfhCs . Hoping to find the time to rework the kick/snare, tune up the filter a bit more, and squash some remaining bugs before the end of the year so I can call this project done! Find it here if you want to check it out: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=47284 #synth

Decided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.

Just a PSA.

Mastodon v4 goes online on Monday.

Many server/instance admins will be updating.

I've ran through the process with the latest RC yesterday on my testbed and it all went well, but, like any update these things are prone to hiccups.

Keep that in mind if your server seems to go offline briefly, the admins will be trying their best

Still trying to get my #Toots to automatically publish as #Tweets. Anyone got any tips?

Cruise For A Corpse is a game I’ve only attempted to play once, and I found it incredibly difficult and got annoyed by all the disk swapping….but it does look great and feels like a proper old-Skool whodunnit!

If it’s good enough for Mariah Carey, it’s good enough for us, so we have decided to begin the annual process of displaying gaudy festive trinkets around the place early. Now, in fact.

While scrolling for new knick-knacks to buy, we saw these affordable and easy-to-code things and thought of you:

Finally managed to get this "obscurity" working on the Steam Deck.

This is Nocturne by Terminal Reality, a survival horror set in the around the 1930s.

It runs well on the Deck with the latest Proton and took me a few days to figure it out.

It does differ per instance. We have our house rules over at our About page at https://qoto.org/about/more so everybody should know what to expect on here.

The Federated timeline falls outside of our domain, and you might see some stuff you'd rather like to block (and I encourage you to do so if it upsets you).
Thankfully the users have good tools at their disposal and you can even block whole domains if that's full of not-so-nice peeps.

Hope your experience will continue to be pleasant here. 🙂

Mastodon? Still finding my feet
