As you settle into Mastodon, be sure to learn the lingo:
- "toot": a tweet
- "tusking": starting a pointless fight with another user
- "woolly": going viral, as in "wow, that toot really went woolly"
- "extinction event": when a whole instance goes down
@nolan Brilliant! What about "stampede" when an instance overloads with new registrations?
@josh @nolan That reminds me of Puppet's Thundering Herd problem.
