Some Mastodon tips I've learned:
- You need a fit, young hunting party
- They are not easy to bring down, so make sure your spears have extremely sharp tips
- Ensure you have a supply line and pack animals available to transport the meat and pelt back to the cave
One of the things that I think is sad about the decimation of Twitter eng is that Twitter was doing a lot of interesting (and high ROI) eng work that, at younger companies, is mostly outsourced at great cost.
A few examples off the top of my head:
The now gutted HWENG group was so good at server design that, in a meeting with Intel, the Intel folks couldn't believe the power envelope Twitter achieved and Google thought we were lying about our costs during cloud price negotiations.
Getting off Twitter, part 2:
Building your Mastodon network by regularly using tools like
• Debirdify
https://pruvisto.org/debirdify/
• Fedifinder
https://fedifinder.glitch.me/
• Twitodon
https://twitodon.com/
to find your #Twitter friends on Mastodon.
#Debirdify and #Fedifinder work by looking for Mastodon information in your Twitter friends account information. #Twitodon looks for previous use of the Twitodon tool itself among your Twitter friends.
