A quick explainer about the Mastodon like (called "favourite" - it's the star). It is a personal message to the writer of the post that you liked it, and it doesn't show on anyone's time line.

If you want to spread the post, that's the boost button. The equivalent of a Twitter like is to do both a favourite and a boost.

If you think this post is useful to you click "favourite". If you think it would be useful for others too, click "boost" as well.

Edited for accuracy.

So, if Twitter goes to hell and just becomes defunct, we’re going to lose entire chapters of recent history — including evidence of war crimes, human rights violations, and more. I hope we’re all paying attention to this and considering what we need to do to ensure that a billionaire can’t decide which parts of history to retain — and which parts to erase forever.

It's ridiculous that leaders remove mask mandates when CDC COVID community levels go down to low, using "we are just following CDC guidelines" as an excuse.

Yet when the community levels go back to high, leaders conveniently ignore CDC guidelines to reinstate mask mandates. 🤔

Example of that hashtag menu not closing.
#UX notes/suggestions for Mastod on app:
1) need a cursor or activation affordance on the alt/accessible text description field. It brings up the ios menu but all the options were things like speech to text.
2) bold the active states on your icons. For folks with low contrast issues or aging eyes, it’s sometimes hard to tell if you’ve tapped it already
3) the hashtag selection screen needs a way to close, especially if starting your own or new hash

I would have missed this moment if my son had not shouted about the rainbow as we walked away. A fleeting moment nearly lost because I was looking in the wrong direction.

Ynys Seiriol and the Trwyn Du lighthouse perfectly framed by a rainbow which only lasted a few seconds.
