One of the things that turned me off to that other place a few years ago was when I noticed the trend to talk less about your life, and more about whatever outraged you.

I see more then a few people have brought that bad habit over here recently. I'm not saying it didn't exist here before, it's just increased at a notable rate.

So let's boost what's going on in people lives. Boost the foodie pics. Boost the messy living room pics. Boost the Costco selfie.

Let's keep Mastodon social.

Julian: That whole away mission should have been an email.

#Gouache #painting I did last year. This image was censored by #Instagram. I honestly don't understand why. I think we put too much trust on the abilities of AI to judge #art correctly. I was very proud of that painting, but it had only few likes, because it was viewable only if someone was specifically came to my profile. I had the issue 3 more times on IG with other (safe) art.

For my part, I've always seen them as something at the discretion of the author. As the reader, you have a plethora of tools to disengage from unwanted content on Mastodon—with even better filters coming in 4.0—and harassment is not one of them. People who are arriving now have as much right to be here and bring their own culture as the ones who came before them.

Having been here since 2016, I can tell you there is definitely no such thing as a consensus on usage of content warnings on the fediverse. It's a decentralized network that doesn't belong to any one party, so by definition there is no single culture on it. Different corners have different expectations and customs.

Hey, #projects seems like a fun hashtag so here's one of mine. Well, mine and my kid's. Back in 2014-16 we built a full size "replica" of Vannevar Bush's Memex.

the dog has gained too much weight and my wife has warned me to halve his dinner portions and now I’m seeing my not so distant future

@polpo Beautiful colour and form factor! Reminds me of this guy from The Black Hole.

Going to try a thing: white guys, please boost!!

Comment here if you're: queer and/or BIPOC and you are interested in talking about #TTRPGs #GameDesign #LARP or #games #art so we can create some discoverability for marginalized folks trying to find community with each other

I'll start! I'm a queer trans nb person who designs and publishes tabletop games and LARPs about gender and queerness. My jam lately has been happy games about queer people finding love and community

In retrospect, it was silly of Mr. Musk to purchase Twitter for $44,000,000,000 when he could have started a Mastodon instance entirely in his control for, like, $20 a month.

A man hands you a box. Telling you it is full of your worst fears. The reality is the box is empty but oh how you fill it still.

A notable factual point in discussions about Republicans' commitment to democracy and the Supreme Court's legitimacy:

Republicans would not have any chance whatsoever to control the House but for extreme partisan gerrymandering + assistance from the GOP SCOTUS.

Assuming the term “Musk to tusk” has yet to be coined, I’d like for that to be my first (and only) contribution to the migration discourse. #introduction #noxp

If you make a README.me for your GitHub profile, you can’t use it yet as #verification here because Github removes the REL=ME attributes. However, if you edit your actual profile on GitHub, and put your #Mastodon site as your homepage (that’s the one with the chain link) it will use REL=ME for that link, which means you can verify your GitHub. See my about profile for all three of my verified links!
