NEW: Trump just said the quiet part out loud.

“Iran is calling asking how to make a deal… I told them they’re a little late. We want to fight now more than they do.”

At the same time the Pentagon says the war could last 8 weeks, not 4. Diplomacy is on the table — but Washington is choosing war. Let that sink in.

"Is... Is it okay to be weird?"
The witch studied the young woman.
"No."
"No? I thought you'd understand."
"Don't be weird," the witch said. "Be yourself."
"But..."

A kind observation that exclusively calling this place "Mastodon" has a bit similar energy as saying "I just sent a GMail."

"Fediverse" (or "fedi") is a more inclusive, general term.

Mastodon is just one of many software projects that talk to each other to create this multi-instance social network:

(kudos to @axbom for this fantastic infographic!)

There are blogs, Reddit-like communities, video instances and many more, all part of fedi.

The many branches of the Fediverse

As more and more people are asking me about Mastodon I felt a need for a picture to point at, showcasing how the software known as Mastodon fits into the much larger concept of the Fediverse. I made this infographic to help myself and others explain the many different use-cases

@conor a friend blocked someone harassing a person he followed. Next thing, sealions from the harasser's server start hassling my friend for the block! But he'd never spoken to any of them... Mastodon notifies the other server when you block individuals, which is _not great_ if that whole server is a hive of scum and villainy and their admins are complicit in harassment. I prefer to mute individuals, or block servers.
