instead of the toots coming up one by one, i reckon every 5 minutes they should all flap down like how it used to be at the train station. flap flap flap flap flap flap flap. we'd all be waiting to see the new toots come in. and we'd rush off to the platform to reply. making sure we remembered to bring our takes with us and not leave them behind or they'd be destroyed by the bomb squad
@jk i'd like the name of your dealer
@jk *tum dum dum* "The person responsible of toot number 23143 is attended in the hall to receive their 45 boosts and 57 favs"
@jk

@jk "Unattended takes will be destroyed by controlled explosion" seems about right!
@sgf @jk - instead of UXB we could have UXHotTake

@jk

At long last a real proposal for improving the user experience in Mastodon. When do you ascend as BDFL in place of that Gargron nonentity?

@jk flap flap flap flap flap flap!!!

"Toot" was cute... for a kid with a new toy.

The word "post" was fine on every single social media site from USENET to Compuserve to MySpace.

The word "tweet" was always stupid, and the word "toot" is imitating stupid. And is also stupider. If possible.

Fercrissake, just say "post".

You were a randomly-selected user of the word, receiving this. I just couldn't take any more.

@RoyBrander @jk lean into the toot, watch as your ego dissolves. You have become toot. There is nothing left, only toot. Toot ad infinitum.
@RoyBrander @jk shit the frick up man toot better toots
@jk Solari Board would be a great name for the app. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-flap_display?wprov=sfti1
Split-flap display - Wikipedia

@jk [news anchor with finger to ear] we’re now getting reports that there has been a massive toot train derailment in mastodon.social. Toxic waste is now spilling out at an alarming rate-
@jk There was some store that actually had these that were programmable and could be hooked into various Internet sources. They were also, if I recall correctly, kind of insanely expensive, but man was I tempted. I’ll have to see if I can find them.
@jk Sounds like you need to invest in a Vestaboard https://www.vestaboard.com
