I stopped playing Magic: The Gathering (temporarily?) a few months ago, but now I'm starting to feel like my life is missing some sort of stupid nonsense that eats up all of my time and money. What do people think, is heroin any good?
Saw that this was tooted with the source cropped out before. Thought I would try to toot it with the attribution this time, rather than boost that one.

Great diagram of if and where you will see a toot from the #fediverse via @axbom #MastodonTips

10 quick Mastodon tips

There has recently been a huge rush of people trying out Mastodon. This is also noticeable in the number of people reading my earlier Mastodon Guide. I wanted to take this opportunity to provide a brief list of usage tips that I wish I had at hand when first setting

I'm seeing a lot of proclamations that there should be no exceptions to describing your images or that there's no reason to interact with any that aren't described.

I know these mean well, but they are themselves ableist.

Disabled people know that access needs can clash. I benefit from described images, but I know some people struggle to write them because of their own disabilities.

And that's okay! The culture of image descriptions is great here but it should never be absolutist.

A ✅ has appeared in my profile. Hurrah for that. I think we have to realise that the learning curve here is steepish, but rather than be anxious about it, shouldn’t we should celebrate the adventure of slowly finding out something that was puzzling at first? Like your first week at school or in a new office building. We’ll get there and soon laugh at how confused me were at first. I hope!
I feel bad for anybody who bought into the web3 hype and has seen their investment tank, but I'm honestly very hopeful that what we're seeing this year is the beginning of the end of what I think was a net backward step for humanity. #CryptoCrash
I'm enjoying Mastodon a lot but I am also still on Twitter. Essentially, I am now on both the heroin AND the methadone.
