Brett Glass - WY7BG@scalzi "Mastodonians?" I thought it was "Mastodontists." 😀
Kirk@brettglass @scalzi I think you gotta go to school for that
@JustBrogrammer @scalzi You probably have to get things straightened out, at any rate.... 😀
RJD@scalzi get a lot more interaction on here and I get a lot more of what I want in my feed. much better.
Remi@scalzi I'm very happy to see more migration. Honestly amongst the authorrati (I made that up) adoption was pretty quick and I've been mainly able to find the folks I was looking for quickly. There's a few holdouts, but pretty much coverage is back, and found more work and hobbyist connections to boot (something I never did on Twitter.)
CeltMacGann@scalzi Hope they're not still paying in crypto.
blterrible@scalzi Considering you have do a bit of work to work to figure out if you're That Scalzi or Some Other Scalzi, you're doing pretty great.
writchrd@scalzi awesome. But for some reason I can’t like your post. 🤷♂️
@scalzi oh nvm. It was just very slow.
Auld Dick@scalzi Will there be cookies?
Definitely be there for cookies.

MC Frontalot@scalzi urge them all to follow me too, I'm feeling sad about the demise of the feathered former friend
rusty@scalzi Picked up 3 copies of the "Collapsing Empire" series, one in paperback, 2 Kindle, have given away 2 sets, I guess I have the third Kindle set for my collection if I want to read along with the already owned audiobook series. Fun stuff. 🙂
wiredog@scalzi if you see “everyone at mastinator dot com” following you, you might want to read this.

PSA to all admins: I highly recommend a #FediBlock of #mastinator (ie. the entire mastinator.com domain). Mastinator is a service that allows a person to anonymously follow people on the fediverse. No big deal you think? Your public posts are probably already anonymously viewable from your public profile anyways and all it is doing is aggregating public info? That is what its creator claims---it is just a convenience service! Well no, it is mode concerning than that. It does this aggregation by following any account a mastinator user types into its service then replicating *all* your non-DM posts into a sort of "proxy inbox" in the mastinator.com domain that is completely out of your control and viewable by everyone! In other words, if you are followed by mastinator.com it effectively turns your follower-only posts into public posts and lets people you have blocked keep following you by following the mastinator replica of your posts! Innocent intentions or not this violates user consent.

Hennes@scalzi Sadly (?) not one of those deleting my account on twitter. I want to keep that name reserved and not some new person using it, sowiung confusion.
I expect that many of the 6k down on twitter do the same, so possbibly even more impressive than the numbers at first glance show.
Fediverse seems to be a consuming fire :)
om@scalzi are you still an enormous obnoxious simp for JK Rowling or has that changed?
