In my opinion, criticisms of mastodon being unusable by the general public are over blown.

rewrite it it Rust,
rewrite it in Rust,
you should do it
if it's not too much fuss

rewrite it it Rust,
rewrite it in Rust,
ownership logic
checking's a must

rewrite it it Rust,
rewrite it in Rust,
it's a good lang,
so come an' join us

@plgDavid I'm sure you know about the DECtalk source dumps and people doing interesting stuff with it, but if you don't... Might be fun for a chipspeech thingy, even though you've already got DKlatt.

I'm gonna keep posting this until one of you fucking boosts it

#FediTips If you need general help on here, whether it's asking about how something works, or where a specific feature is, or general technical help using mastodon and understanding the Fediverse, use the #FediHelp tag. People keep an eye on it to catch users asking for help so that they can respond. <3

TIP OF THE DAY

If your instance server is having a hard time right now, don't freak out.

You do not need to change servers. Mastodon is getting a huge influx of new users and they are all working tirelessly to add capacity. If you are otherwise happy with your instance, trust that they will get things working smoothly. Give them some time to sort things out.

We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.

I hope this beagle finds you well.

Be very skeptical of quick takes & early speculation. A good deal of 24/7 media “coverage” is currently being filmed & written for clicks and ratings, but there’s little substantive new information. We likely won’t get a sense of how it all played out for a few days.

I feel, as part of my initiation into this space, I must talk about my love of #Medieval elephants.

Yes, you heard me. You see, though bestiaries were very common in Western Europe, elephants were not.

So things like this happen.

"SO... lion body... got it, cloven hooves, okay, big ears and dead bird eyes... long snake face... PERFECTION."

Free advice for people who aren't paid to watch cable news: Turn it off, log out, read a book or something, see where things are when you wake up in the morning. You aren't learning anything useful right now.

Was re-reading and this paragraph made me laugh.

> Is this technically 100% correct? No. But if you were the kind of person who cared about the difference between JSON-LD and JSON, you'd probably be writing your own spec right now instead of reading this article.

I'm really not worried about Mastodon scaling issues at all.

When I left Twitter in 2008, we had roughly twice as many users as the current combined Mastodon network, all running on one MySQL server that had the same specs as a high-end 2013 MacBook Pro, plus roughly 10 web servers and 5 queue servers.

To be fair, growth wasn't as rapid, and we had local-infra advantages over federated systems, but these problems are solvable and I have no doubt will be fixed soon.
