I am the sound of the waves on your bones on the beach, little man.
If you have one region, it's a pet. If you have two regions, you have the legacy on and the weird one. If you have three regions, you can finally start standardizing.

TIL that the Alaska Airlines app can't deal with a flight being routed to a different airport and instead shows "canceled" . There's some kind of lesson about response handling in that (probably related to the hell that is Sabre)

when I grow up to be a fancy art patron I will commission bronze statues of ACTUAL HUMAN WOMEN WHO LIVED instead of cardinal virtues #thematriarchy
so i know i just got here and haven't taken any time to learn about whats going on but this will never work because [insert long list of trivial things i think should change but didnt really think about] so could you stop and change that thing youve been working on for like 10 years to make it exactly how i want it right now?

Things that are ok:
* Masto becomes super popular and kills Twitter.
* Masto remains a small niche place for an audience that is queer and weird and nazis are banned.

Got my #osb proposal in right under the wire! http://opensourcebridge.org/proposals/2089
I really hope everyone understands.
Mastodon is not a person. Mastodon is not an organization. Mastodon is not making money off you.
Mastodon is a piece of software written by one guy supported by donations on patreon, working from when he wakes often until 5am, with the help of a team of unpaid volunteers most of whom are trans women or otherwise LGBT.
Mastodon is a product of unpaid labor of passionate marginalized people + our dedicated cishet friend working at less than minimum wage
when I'm looking at the list of talk ideas people told me the wanted to hear from me and I can't remember what I thought I was gonna bring to any of them
