i wonder if we're the first festival/conference to list their mastodon account on their official homepage https://2018.xoxofest.com/

All of these are real products you can buy on Amazon, all from different companies using similar kludgy code that doesn't know how to determine the appropriate indefinite article for a name.

Wow, I like Mastodon's light theme so much better than the default. (Click the gear icon, bottom of the Preferences page!)

Wow, Three Billboards is a mess. I don’t even know where to start. Overly-long and nonsensical plot, awkward and uneven writing, and endless unnecessary casual racism and bigotry, often as comic relief. Why is a small-town sheriff in Missouri married to an Australian model 20 years younger than him? What’s up with that ending? How are any of these characters and their actions remotely believable? How did this thing get nominated for best picture and screenplay? I’m stumped.

Me: "Ugh, why do I have such a headache?"

*thinking*

Me: "Oh, right. I forgot that I'm a drug addict now and need to do drugs every morning or I feel like garbage." ☕

@mikester 👋

I wrote a tweetstorm over on the ol' birdsite about my early days on Twitter, and my early days on Mastodon, and how this place is giving me hope. I think it'll be interesting to some of you. https://twitter.com/waxpancake/status/1027793032676962305

Hang on, do custom emoji from one Mastodon instance display on other instances?!

i feel personally attacked

Is there any way to post a message SOLELY to your local timeline? That would be pretty cool.

Matt Haughey is the canary in my Twitter coal mine. https://a.wholelottanothing.org/2018/08/08/im-done-with-twitter/

The indieweb is looking better and better every day.

Also, uh, is this thing working? I don't see any notifications since June 2017.

Hi! Is anyone else able to use the "Follow All" feature on the Mastodon Bridge? I get an error every time. https://bridge.joinmastodon.org/

TO BE CLEAR, I'm not saying that Mastodon will have any impact on Twitter whatsoever.

The idea of a social network "beating" another social network is ridiculous.
