Thanks to all nearly 10,000 of you who had some reason to follow me. This is a new and delightful world, and one I’m glad to be part of. You can read my introduction to Mastodon at TidBITS intended for folks who haven’t come on board yet: https://tidbits.com/2023/01/27/mastodon-a-new-hope-for-social-networking/
Mastodon: A New Hope for Social Networking - TidBITS

With centralized, ad-driven social networks in disarray and suffering from misinformation, harassment, and declining users, can the long-simmering Mastodon microblogging system offer a distributed future for conversation and community?

@glennf this is quite something for a niche person * to achieve. Good job.

* I mean niche on the non-insulting way, obvs.

👍

@prawn I absolutely think of myself as niche! It's a testament to the scale of people in Mastodon, quite honestly.

@glennf “some reason” in my case is your consistently puzzling out baffling Apple O/A issues via Mac911. Much respect.

@9six7 @gedeonm @glennf @icecubesapp

And do those display on other clients?

Show threadBrian BrownFeb 6, 2023
@BobHarvey @gedeonm @glennf @icecubesapp They display as a link back to the original post. You have to click it to read it. Not optimal. The Ice Cubes implementation should be standard imo.

@gedeonm Apologies I thought it was bookmarking not quoting 🙄

@DavidTanner No worries!

@glennf Thanks for devoting your decades-long experience in writing to this topic.

I’m going to, at first, seem to shamelessly steal from it when introducing Mastodon and presenting Ivory to my German colleagues at our UX/UI event on Tuesday only to give you credit in the end. 😉
