Looking forward to the Oilers game tonight. I hope there's a lively discussion on here.

Just a quick tip: You can follow a hashtag on Mastodon and it will show up in your Home timeilne.

#OIlers #LetsGoOilers #yeg #hockey

Have some cute dogs.

Made an iOS Shortcut to let you follow someone from a different Mastodon instance without the copy/paste hoop-jumping.

Once added to your Shortcuts app, you can share a Profile (or webpage or text that contains a profile link or username) to this Shortcut to be taken to the Follow confirmation page without ever copying or pasting anything.

Let me know if you find it helpful or run into any issues.

can you imagine taking twice the amount of money it would cost to end world hunger and just lighting it on fire
Ugh, these new Twitter refugees are ruining the place for long-standing community members like me who have been here for ten days.
In case this is useful for others, I switched to Metatext over the official Mastodon app on iOS and I find it a lot more intuitive to use. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/metatext/id1523996615
Metatext App - App Store

Download Metatext by Metabolist on the App Store. See screenshots, ratings and reviews, user tips, and more apps like Metatext.

I thoroughly enjoy the “poll you voted in has closed” feature on this app. Very neat.
@jon_eaves what’s it like from your perspective watching Elon play out the microservices-Vs-monolith debate in Prod on Top100 site?

If you haven't done this recently, highly recommend using https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ to search through your birbsite followers and extract their mastodon handles.

It creates a nice .csv file that you can import into your 'following' list as a merge to add anyone you've missed!

This is such an interesting conversation to me. It's drilled into journalists to "report the news, not *be* the news." But at a time when trust is plummeting, many people don't really understand what we do or consider us elites, I wonder if being more personal helps bridge the perceived gap between us and readers. For better or worse, we're just people. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/13/reader-center/getting-personal-with-millions-of-readers.html?smtyp=cur&smid=fb-nytimes&fbclid=IwAR3a-gswxD4KLzIOueKwjjzNU-_JHejGPeG7vHlRvDv8YbBH0xJDsOM4qz4
Getting Personal With Millions of Readers

Three New York Times writers share why sharing their own experiences in some articles is worth it, what boundaries they set and what the night before publication is like.
