โ€œYou, boy, what social media website am I posting from?โ€
@Pandamoanimum Is that Heinrich Bรถll?!
@Pandamoanimum the Dickens if I know but it ain't zukker or musk's!
@Pandamoanimum
May God bless the social media websites, every one.
@Pandamoanimum
(Am I interpreting this correctly as a joke about how now that other federated social media websites are gaining popularity, rather than just mastodon, it's becoming less clear where people are posting from, and that's kinda nice/fun?)

@rolle I really need to get into the habit of providing alt text. (Itโ€™s Scrooge btw, not just a random old man)
@Pandamoanimum @rolle just follow @PleaseCaption and update the toot ๐Ÿ˜‰

If you are uncomfortable with your Mastodon posts ending up on federated social media platforms you never heard you can make a comment supporting this feature request:

I feel the same with Mastodon instances. I have joined many and use primarily 3 to get a different style of content:
1. my "home" instance with a hodge-podge of topics
2. my "entertainment" instance with mainly TV, movies, and music topics
3. my "food" instance where most posts involve food, recipes and coffee.

@Pandamoanimum wait fr I'm so confused. I have a threads and this... But I'd rather use this username.

When I boosted this post @PleaseCaption flagged for me that there's no #AltText on it:

@da5nsy @PleaseCaption I tried 3 times to edit the post so I could add alt text and it failed every time. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
@Pandamoanimum Ooh how curious!? Thanks for trying!
Which social media site *are* you posting from? ๐Ÿ˜‚
Sounds like a bug... (And I like bugs...)

@Pandamoanimum @Mrfunkedude I am not going to deny that it feels like that these days

โ€œDo you know the NASDAQ stock exchange?โ€
โ€œYes, sir!โ€
โ€œGood lad! Run there now and buy the largest social media company they have, and youโ€™ll earn yourself a shiny sixpence!โ€
@Pandamoanimum LOL, and what year is it?
@Pandamoanimum It's Boris Johnson! And he's posting from Brexit!

@Pandamoanimum @Mrfunkedude Thatโ€™s hilarious. Sadly none of my friends or family will get it. Kinda like mastodon ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ
@Pandamoanimum Whichever it is, someoneโ€™s going to end up buying a big goose.
@Pandamoanimum
this is the hardest I've laughed in good bit, needed that
@Pandamoanimum loool ๐Ÿคฃ
It's a legitimate question.
@Pandamoanimum Yay "website". Recently news articles have been annoyingly saying "apps" when referring to social media networks. Are they not aware they are very different things? And many use websites or a variety of different apps to access a network.
@Pandamoanimum "I wear the chain I forged on Twitter. I made it, post by post, and quote tweet by quote tweet. I dunked on by my own free will, and confused pancakes and waffles. Is its pattern unfamiliar to you?"

BTW, this was the best Christmas Carol, if only for the dancer on Scrooge's coffin. I hope my demise makes someone that happy!
