Ricky MondelloThe debate makes me nervous, so I’m not watching it. Instead, I will listen to hours of political podcasts about it. Please do not question my logic.

Teri KanefieldBTW, I've been better about blocking and muting the people who keep cluttering my mentions with b.s.
If someone tells me something untrue, which I know came from the misinformation echo chamber I often write about, I offer something to read.
If the person pushes back and keeps lecturing me about how Jack Smith is screwing up (or whatever) I block them.
They can scream into the void.
I'm here for the people who want my perspective.
I cannot wear myself out with people in the echo chamber.
Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️There's a special hell for sites which have password requirements that are like 16 letters, one or more numbers, upper case and lowercase, at least one special character, and we disabled pasting/password managers
Cabel Sasser@rmondello it’s time for my annual “I really appreciate you Ricky for all the work you do and am so hyped to see Passkeys moving quickly and we are lucky to have you and I’m lucky to know you” Ricky appreciation post!! Let it be known®
we really painted ourselves into a thermal corner with how we’ve treated our planet
Aliette de BodardA quick reminder for Pride Month that not everyone can afford to be out (frex, there are countries where being queer is illegal on pains of very serious things), and that these people are no less queer for being in the closet.
Sommer PanageAccessibility isn’t something you add to your product. It is your product.
I think 90% of my job is trying to convey this. If the button isn’t labeled, if the text cannot be seen, if the action cannot be performed, then it may as well not be there for some subset of people. #accessibility #a11y
Matt BlazeYou know what's great about Mastodon? Putting effort into writing a long thread and waking up to the Self-Appointed-Mastodon-Police telling you that long threads are an "inappropriate" way to use Mastodon.
And by "great", I mean, really annoying.
No.
There are plenty of ways to uses Mastodon. Not everyone needs to use it the same way, and no one is required to follow your imagined rules.
