@mus And yeah, I tried, I lost. Damnit! :)

This is fun:

@mus runs a #mastodon *nstance at oulipo.social with a constraint:

Writing #toots, no 1 should, umm... you can't... hmm, how should I put it?

Thing is, this character, don't put it in your toot!

Want a hint? Take this: *

I hereby officially declare @Mitaj to become the unofficial #liveleak curator. ;)

Oh wait, let me add one myself as well:

Driving instructors, this is a great video to discuss with your students, so many driving mistakes in such a short time!

Wired wrote an article on Mastodon that capture a lot of what I love about it: https://www.wired.com/2017/04/like-twitter-hate-trolls-try-mastodon/

So I saw a thing abut Ambassador bots yesterday, and I want to revisit that.

I think the idea is fantastic, and I hope it catches on.

I would love to be able to follow the top boosted//favorited toots from every instance.

I would love to be able to engage with the people that those users boost.

This is a better solution to filling the federated timelines than followbots, and I want to see it catch on.

Think about it:

@nolan thought about to prevent displaying the #followercount on his instance toot.cafe

This is a critical point IMHO. Although useful, all these things such as followercounts, ratings, favs are in charge of how to think and behave in #socialnetworks.

One of the worst things for example ist to fav others just because you hope, they'll fav you back.

That Japanese Mastodon instance is growing at the rate of 1000+ users an hour

Have been searching for intersting #stats about #mastodon?

Then you will find this quite cool:

Realtime updates about the amount of current mastodon instances, total amount of #users, amount of #statuses over time and mastodon #connections.

Everything painted in a beautiful #Graphana dashboard, easily zoomable.

#statistics

And also bring to awareness that "public timeline" literally means public, as in, the entire internet. Not just the fediverse.

I really should visit & hang out at the Mastodon Github Issue Tracker some time…

Issues I'd place there, or would watch out for:

- un-Mute

- temporary Block and temporary Mute
(in the style of old-school IRC 7-day killfiles, or something…)

- "Birdsite"-style Lists
(more like Hootsuite-style, since Hootsuite pioneered Twitter lists before Twitter implemented them iirc…)

- delete user accounts
(this issue is already open and is being tackled)

- edit Toots after publishing

etc.,…
