A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.

@gamingonlinux Awesome dude! It's WILD right now. @thunderbird got 1000 new followers in the last 8 hours or so.

Completely blown away by that.

Mastodon is really having a moment in mainstream news coverage. CNN, BBC, TIME, etc.

The influx of users will continue at an alarming rate. Remember to be welcoming, and kind, and positive, and helpful.

This isn't just an opportunity to improve the idea of social media, it's an opportunity to shine a wonderful light on #opensource.

My 10 year old Macbook Pro has been resurrected with KDE Neon!

Really all my issues with Ubuntu in the past I think have just been with Gnome, KDE is very slick in comparison.

Looks like this laptop is going to be used for the next decade, whether it likes it or not 😄

@zleap * people ;) But otherwise, yes :) (I’d been attempting to do that for a while but it’s an uphill struggle with the algorithm and, personally, I want nothing to do with Musk.)

“I want news organizations to not only set up their own servers but also to start adding share-on-Mastodon buttons to story pages. That will send a message to Elon et al, endorsing an alternative.” — @jeffjarvis https://buzzmachine.com/2022/11/05/hope-for-a-post-musk-net/
