The #fediverse is a fleet of interconnected ships, many of which were built by the #mastodon shipworks and in the past two weeks the fleet has doubled in size while going warpspeed.

The interstellar wind is shaking the whole place up tonight. Hold on. Hold fast. We're gonna get through this.

Tip your server admins, and be kind to newcomers.

Thanks! (boosts ok, paying it forward preferred)

@phildini so how does tipping happen exactly? And I guess I need to figure out who my admin would be, hmmm.

"the interstellar wind is shaking the whole place up tonight" - so true...
i saw a significant and sudden #uptic in new accounts at abt 01:00a.m.UTC tonight by checking the counting bot this morning in the same coincidence i was told that #mastodon and #riptwitter is trending like crazy in #Asia

@phildini is there an easy way to tip our server admins?
Show threadReal Fooding Nov 18, 2022
@natbat @phildini basically, each server admin is independent and volunteering. You can see more at the about link in your server website, like wandering.shop in your case

@cured_meats @phildini I can’t seem to find any patreon links or ways to help donate money, maybe the admins themselves have something? @Annalee @Johannab @offby1 @phildini @shuttermonster

@phildini we’re #BeckyChambers’ Exodans, is what you’re saying.

Fair.

@phildini @evilrooster it's a good analogy, and you need to read The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet

(because I recommend it to everyone I like, not just because that's what this is a reference to)

@WizardOfDocs Read it! Great book

@phildini sweet. Ok. Exodans are humans from the Exodus Fleet. The billionaires fucked us, and now we have to learn to be a society again.
Show threadAbi SutherlandNov 19, 2022
@WizardOfDocs @phildini
A longer definition: Earth became essentially uninhabitable, so humans cobbled together the Exodus Fleet and set out, unready but having to go. Then rebuilt human culture on the way.

Never any shame in not recognizing a reference. It just means you may be one of the lucky 10,000 that day. (https://m.xkcd.com/1053/)

@phildini It’s a classic. And a great example of what Christians call (in overtly but not essentially different contexts) “metanoia”: the transition from an older, broken mental model to a newer, more constructive one.

this illuminates a certain Goddess of Stuck Drawers and Volcanoes in a way I hadn't considered..

Anoia - A Discworld Goddess of Volcanoes and more recently eggwhisk-stuck drawers after some plot-based attention cycled her popularity into relative social promenance again..
One of Sir pTerry's regular themes was 'Old Gods do new jobs" and how they transform roles based on their devotees convictions.. so, aptly named given the etymology.
