#Mastodon features that #Twitter doesn’t have:

* Temporary muting (e.g. for a day)
* Self-verified URLs in the profile
* Hiding spoilers etc. via content warnings
* URLs must start with protocols (fewer false positives, e.g. in code).
* Everyone can edit posts (in v4+).
* No ads (which doesn’t come for free = donate if you can afford it)

More obscure: I like that you can search for post URLs to “transfer” them between accounts.

Using this platform made me realise how I came to accept exposure to cruelty & hostility as part of the deal of being able to talk to you. The clicks algorithm is not necessarily our connection master. How refreshing to be reminded of that.

My boss, Matt Mullenweg, the boss of Automattic, owner of Tumblr, is looking for ex-Twitter employees for Tumblr, saying,

"we're putting on a fast track to see how they can help super-charge Tumblr. We can't absorb thousands of people, but I'd be open to hiring entire teams if they already work great together."

He's photomatt on Twitter, or look here too: https://automattic.com/work-with-us/

Boost for visibility, please? Spread the word!

Hello, Mastodon

@AccordionGuy People who stan for sociopathic billionaires are… weird.

Everyone on Twitter right now:

Estragon: Well, shall we go?
Vladimir: Yes, let’s go.
(They do not move)

Dear Space Karen,
No thanks.

Owncast is proud to support the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians by offering them a hosted Owncast instance. They contacted the project discussing their streaming needs, and how the Big Tech options weren't working out for them, and they didn't have the resources to operate Owncast on their own. They asked if we could help via our donation program https://owncast.online/donated/.

I look forward to seeing their arts, sports and cultural events streaming live soon!
