An AMA with real John Mastodon: Eugen Rochko.
"Mastodon started in 2016 as an open-source project by Eugen Rochko, who, as an avid user since 2008, was dissatisfied with the state and direction of Twitter.
Believing that instant global communications were too crucial for modern society to belong to a single commercial company, he sought to build a user-friendly microblogging product that would not belong to any central authority, but remain practical for everyday use..."

Are there plans to allow 'how many time a toot has been favorited' to be used as a sort criteria? If not, why was the decision taken to not use...

Mastodon is a kick. Twitter was really watching a performance with audience participation. Occasionally, you might get called up on stage with a RT or QT. Mastodon is like a retro cocktail party. You get to mingle. Or maybe just people-watch.

I think I like this.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

Tweede Kamerlid @[email protected] van de SP is ‘heel erg verbaasd’ dat de manier waarop de Landelijke Stuurgroep Interventieteams met risicoprofielen fraude voorspelt in wijken met veel uitkeringen, na het toeslagendrama nog steeds bestaat. Ze wil dat de methode ‘direct stopt’.

Wow, van een uitgebreide infographic gesproken. Knap werk van Reuters over biodiversiteit en de ineenstorting van de insectenwereld.

Posting this here tonight for you all. Will post on Twitter tomorrow. We'll see if I have a Twitter account still on Tuesday. #TwitterMigration #MastodonMigration

Mastodon Features That Twitter Should Steal (but Won’t)

Elon Musk's platform could learn a thing or two from its most popular alternative—like how to build a social platform people actually want to be on.

One of the greatest "How it started/how it's going" examples, EVER.

Oh, btw: I bought johnmastodon.com.

I think I'm going to use it as a Mastodon server recommendation site. I'm imagining "John Mastodon" as a clippy-style avatar to help you pick a server.
