@Gargron good

@Gargron this is sadly probably the thing that will outlive mastodon... 1000 years from now when everyone has forgotten about the fediverse you know someone has a floating orb archive of XKCD somewhere on their solarpunk island...

@wakest @Gargron And no one will understand the language, let alone the comic. AIs of the time included.

@Snarky @Gargron like most 'valuable' things in museum. It will be saved only because it was loved in its time by people with 'power'

@Gargron we are sorry for you lots
Show threadGadfly (-booq-)Sep 12, 2018
@Gargron Oh wait the misspelling wasn't intentional? I thought it was poking at the people misspelling it...

@Gargron Petition to rename Mastodon to Mastadon, but only until the xkcd gets changed back!

@Gargron cool maybe one day he’ll also treat the fediverse with more than condescension

@matilde What did he say?
Show threadMatilde ParkSep 12, 2018

@Gargron this comic is using us as a joke and perpetuates the perceived inevitability of centralized social media, imo

As it’s primarily been. And I’m annoyed with it

@matilde Ah i see. Well as they say, first they laugh at you. This is a big win. In this comic we are literally on the same level as LinkedIn, a multimillion company

@Gargron That's the reason I joined Mastodon.social 😂

@Gargron never heard of mastodon until XKCD. It’s also how I discovered kerbal space program!
Show threadEugen RochkoSep 13, 2018
@PatrickBateman Both equally good discoveries imo 😁

@Gargron Congratulations. For getting it corrected.
