If you ever wanted a visual to explain how binary in works.
You asked for it, and it’s coming. Quote posts, search, and groups are on their way. In the meantime, check out the new onboarding experience launching today. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/05/a-new-onboarding-experience-on-mastodon/
A new onboarding experience on Mastodon

Today we’re making signing up on Mastodon easier than ever before. We understand that deciding which Mastodon service provider to kick off your experience with can be confusing. We know this is a completely new concept for many people, since traditionally the platform and the service provider are one and the same. This choice is what makes Mastodon different from existing social networks, but it also presents a unique onboarding challenge. To make this step easier, we now have a default sign-up option that works with a server we operate. If you wish to leave or join a different server, you can do so at any time.

Mastodon Blog
If this goes how I expect it to go, get ready for another big surge in Mastodon's popularity.
I don't want to just be posting about numbers like a clock, but the 2 million mark of monthly active users across the network is a pretty big deal. This is going big numbers! Shout out to all the server operators who are absorbing this wave.

Hello, Mastodon! For anyone not familiar with us, here's a brief #introduction:

Brave is committed to making the Internet safer and more private. Our browser blocks the trackers and ads on every website you visit. The browser also features:

⭐ independent search
⭐ offline playlists
⭐ optional rewards for browsing
⭐ free, private video calls
⭐ a secure, multi-chain wallet for crypto
⭐ a customizable news feed

Excited to connect with you all here and share more details on our work!

The fact Mastodon encourages people to *boost* posts, rather than retweet them, is significant. It's no longer about hammering people with an argument - look at how many other people agree with me, over and over and over - it's about promoting, supporting, validating, rewarding people for saying interesting and worthwhile things.

That is a *huge* difference.

Patiently waiting for the day when #news #reporters have to start saying #toots and #tooted instead of #tweets when some celebrity says something controversial 
And that's all from me for now! I hope to see you around 
As of recent, I've also been interested in #CyberSecurity & #Privacy and have been exploring platforms such as #Matrix  in hopes of being able to extend my love for bot #development to other emerging platforms. 

I've been lurking around here for a little bit so I think its finally time I did an #Introduction  

Hello! I'm Dzlandis, but most people like to call me DZ for short. I'm interested in all things #Technology. I am a #programmer who codes mainly in #typescript with #NodeJS as of writing this. I code #Discord  bots and own the bot @scriptly which adds text-to-speech and speech-to-text functionality into Discord. I love exploring new #tech and trying new things! 👋
