Please stop cross-posting your twitter feed automatically to Mastodon. When you cross-post but never engage with your Mastodon followers, you're treating this as a syndication platform rather than a community. It comes off arrogant, and it clutters the timeline.

It's the Guns.

America is the only rich democracy that features the routine mass slaughter of its citizens with guns. Why does this happen? The data show a really clear picture: It's the guns. Yes, it's that simple.

The mechanism for adding #AltText on the official mobile iOS app could use some work. A single, side-scrolling line of text that seems to default to white overtop the image itself is … not a UI triumph?

Sometimes Mastodon seems like the old blogosphere, or the best parts of Twitter, or the worst parts of both… And then you get reminded that despite being around for years, it’s still really a baby social media network.

It’s like in Star Trek TNG when Data builds another AI, calls it his daughter, and tries to teach it everything he knows in just a few days. It’s not ready yet for praise or blame. We have to teach it and let it grow.
