You can tell how Star Trek: The Next Generation is set in a utopian future because every work meeting wraps up in at most four minutes with a decision about what the group is going to do, why they're doing it, who's in charge of doing it and who's supporting them in what ways, clearly communicated to all participants.

Another #MastodonTip for people of the #TwitterMigration (other than using camel case for hashtags) is that Mastodon instances are not run by corporations with thousands of employees. Usually it is just a handful of volunteers and an instance owner or two.

A huge influx of users, like this, all at once is a lot to handle. Stuff may break or slow down for a bit.

It'll be okay. Things will level out & it will all work again. The same thing happened in back in April.

Be calm. Carry on.

@Gargron does signing up at patreon.com/mastodon help Mastodon in General as well as mastodon.social?
I've thought long and hard about this, and I've come to the conclusion that the only account I'm going to miss from Twitter is Days of NHS Spending @daysofnhs purely for the satirical thought of people realising just how much the organisation costs to run.

Make politics private again

Before social media, I couldn't tell you what narrow political box to put most of my friends or coworkers. I might have had a hunch as to whether someone leaned left or right, but it was usually just that, a hunch, and more importantly, virtually never relevant to our relationship. That doesn't mean we couldn't occasionally have discus...

Really looking forward to the inevitable #twittermigration to the #fediverse . The platform has become poison regardless of who you follow.

Personally, for me it all went wrong with the RT function, so people didn't actually have to read what they were reposting before posting into the Universe....

Okay, so... I have a bit of an announcement.

I've created a website for FediFollows which has all the accounts I've ever recommended (that are still working!) organised into nice topics and tags:

➡️ https://fedi.directory

You can browse the main directory or the top 100 tags page. (Also considering adding an "all tags" page, if there's demand.)

Please let me know what you think! Any feedback very welcome 🙏

(This is why I haven't posted in a few days! 😅 )
