When did Twitter just become posts asking stupid questions about who could care less?

Anyway, what's your favourite word?

The #Fediverse killer feature, the single feature no other centralized, corporate competitor could ever dream of offering is collective decision-making.

Collective decision-making is a skill that modern life denies most of us. These instances suddenly create a non-trivial space where this skill can be acquired and developed (if your admin allows it, of course).

I don't even think it matters if people choose to make decisions through consensus or adopt parliamentary procedures or whatever. Just exposing people to a process and the tension and release could be educational.

I think this is what could make the #Fediverse transformational.

Hello y’all People of the Fediverse old and new! ​✨

I have tooted a lot lately, YET,
I have neglected tooting an #introduction all this time, so here it is:

Hi! I’m Em! ​

I’m an Accidental Tooter Tutor, but very happy to be 🐘✨

When I don’t give Mastodon tips to newcomers moving away from a Twittertatastrophy, I give tiny #privacy tips, big privacy tips, and big privacy opinions 🔒

I talk about code, security, and human rights 💻​

I like encryption, but end-to-end encryption even more. If I write crypto here, I mean cryptography.

I make bad puns and laugh a lot at them in secret. I laugh a lot at your puns too!

I like weird electronic with flashy LED lights. Right to Repair on everything. DIY anything. Big fan of all #FOSS

I boost photos of mosstodon, cause we all need it 🌱✨

Rainbows, cats, and cute emojis make me happy. I also like kind humans, and open software ​

Diversity is key. Representation matters. Cooperation over competition. Listening is vital. Kindness is essential ​

Despite all the bad going on, I still believe together we can change the World and make it much better and fairer for everyone ✊​​

Most people that I meet on my photography adventures don't know that "taking pictures for Wikipedia" is a thing. So, when I'm out shooting, I often engage in conversations about how Wikipedia needs more photos. That's what happened this morning, when I took this image for the article "Greater white-fronted goose":

Please consider sharing your photos with a global audience through #Wikipedia !

Over on Twitter it’s like the Penguin is in charge of Gotham.

This photo is impressive. The sky whispering to the earth.

Eigg isn't connected to the UK national grid. Instead we generate 90% to 95% of our electricity from wind, sun, & water (hydro). Community-owned Eigg Electric was switched on in 2008. Islanders are trained and employed to manage it. Electricity costs 28p per unit/kWh. Before 2008 each property had its own diesel generator. Now we have 24kW of wind, 110kW of hydro, 170kW of solar PV, storage batteries, and a back up generator. Next challenge is #netzero #renewables #eigg http://isleofeigg.org/eigg-electric/

Measure twice

Is it possible to proxy my Fediverse identity?

I don't want to run my own instance, but I also want my identity to be instance independent. For example, if I was @me@acjay.com, but my actually presence remained hosted by Qoto. I believe this would require Qoto to be able to publish my posts under my domain rather than @acjay.

Does this concept exist on any instances?

Note that many email providers allow this under their "custom domain" functionality

#mastodon #fediverse #meta

I am retooting my introduction - just in case you missed it..

Is anyone else having problems with avtar images loading up on #qoto? I have the generic elephant head showing in all accounts.

Hi #webperf friends! I'm here to make you a coaching offer.

The 2023 conference season is coming up, and there are so many frontend/SEO/UX/JS/etc. events that might welcome a good performance talk. I'm not an expert in all those areas, but I'm good at writing pitches. (As a former O'Reilly conference chair and current #PerfNow chair, I've reviewed hundreds of pitches, so I'm good at reading them, too.)

My DMs are open. If I can help you develop your proposal, I will. Please boost for reach!
