I think it's glorious that there's now a Mastodon server operated by people who used to work for Twitter (macaw.social). I could have never imagined it when I started in 2016.

@julian @tristen @padraig @Gargron what happened in about March last year? It suddenly went down
Show threadUbergeekNov 19, 2022
@els76uk @julian @tristen @padraig @Gargron that was around the time that a lot of service providers yanked services from right wing groups. So, I suspect a bunch of alt right places went down

Is there an actual list/directory where people can look up all #Mastodon servers/instances that currently exist?
Show threadPadraig 🌈Nov 19, 2022
@Gargron @tristen @Teelin there are various 3rd party tools but there is one on joinmastodon.org and if you Google search for mastodon instance lists, you can find others.

Broke: Paying 30 bucks a year for a new .social domain

Woke: Prepending a social. subdomain to whatever poor random domain you already own that's been sitting neglected and unused for the past several years

(This meme is entirely hypothetical do not look at my domain name)

@tristen @zoe @Gargron Wobroke: buying a .social domain and prepending “social.” to it, e.g., social.laicos.social.

@zoe @tristen @arensb @Gargron could only be better if you snagged social.social
And them added the social subdomain 😂

@falcon @Gargron @tristen @zoe I got the impression that social.social is reserved.
I did see that com.com is already taken, though.

I want to buy anti.social, but it's on sale for $5000...
Then I could have social.anti.social!

@stuartb Maybe you can finance that by buying socal.social and selling it to someone in LA.

@tristen .social has always be more expensive, than e.g. .nl or .eu. At least here in the Netherlands (€12 p/y)
