mom: hey son I joined this new Mastodon thing
me: oh shit mom, I coulda helped you find a server, which one did you choose?
mom: well I liked the privacy policy on satanic.bikerladi.es but then communist.blaze.party had the shortest ping latency so
do ya get it, my mom is actually pretty computer-savvy you chauvinist clods. also she likes to fukken blaze it
@nolan Thank you! Moms are not archetypes for untechnical folks. Sheesh! ๐Ÿ˜ค
@nolan but what does she think about you using mastodon.social instead of a hip 420 instance?
@nolan I want this to be real.
@nolan dude what I wish my mom was that cool
@nolan Your poor mother! No, wait, you poor you!
@nolan oh she's one of those cool moms huh
@lolkat hell yeah check out her alt on satanic.bikerladi.es, she decided to get both

@nolan wait so you're saying that was a real thing that happened

wow your mom is actually really cool

@nolan I hope this is true, and that you have the raddest mom.
@nolan At least mom is woke about the server instances.
@deadsuperhero my mom literally has a shirt that says "woke af". this is not a joke
@nolan "that's the future liberals want"โ€ฆ and I love it already!
@nolan your mom is awesome
@nolan dammit, I didn't realize I could sign up for communist.blaze.party
@nolan Sounds like you have a wonderful mom! :grinning:
Decentralized identity and decentralized social networks

Iโ€™d like to tell you a story about Bob. Bob is a fairly ordinary, upstanding citizen. Bob also has a lot of hobbies. Bob is a good father, so one of his hobbies is to coach his sonโ€™s liโ€ฆ

Read the Tea Leaves

@nolan
I am sad that neither of those instances exist.

Although blaze.party is currently available for a couple of bucks, so...

@suetanvil somebody hit that shit

@nolan

I could swear I saw this toot months before I joined Mastodon. Was it quoted in some blog post about Mastodon or a news story or something?

@nolan *laughing*

I love living in this century, I do. (Being in my mid-50's, I have one to compare it to. *wink*)
