About to move to a new instance. In theory, everyone following me should still be following after the move, but if I muck it up:

@EndsOfInvention Possible! It'll be sitting in a drawer switched off most of the time (my Mom only uses a phone when she's travelling).

At the risk of being brutally cancelled by the pet lovers of Mastodon, I really, really wish people would add generic hashtags like 'cat' or 'dog' to their photos of cats or dogs.

My vast 'Don't Show Cats & Dogs' filter now includes specific crossbreeds, for goodness' sake.

I've published Macstodon, my silly little Mastodon client for Classic Mac OS to GitHub: https://github.com/smallsco/macstodon

I'm not providing any support or planning any serious development or maintenance of this, it's just a fun little hack project. Please fork and extend :)

Some Gotchas:
- You need MacPython 1.5.2 installed to run it, because my Mac crashes when I try to compile it into a standalone app.
- You need some kind of SSL stripping proxy running on another machine, I recommend WebOne: https://github.com/atauenis/webone
- It only posts plain text toots and doesn't have any other features
- There's no error handling. Expect crashes!

I helped my Mom upgrade her phone today. She's switching from a 22-year-old Nokia 3310e to a 2-year-old iPhone SE. Tomorrow I'm going to show her how to use the new one, which should be... interesting.

@lmorchard Same here. The first time I ran it I got a handful of tech people, the second time it was a flood of academia/art/literature/history folk.
The toot above was tooted with toot like this: cat /tmp/toot.txt | toot post --media /tmp/toot-tui.png --description "A screenshot of toot's terminal user interface"

Toot is a Mastodon client with a pretty TUI, and a CLI with lots of fancy features - e.g. you can post multiple images, with descriptions & sensitivity flags. Handy for scheduled/automated posts, crossposting.

@aredridel There's no way to mute the client, but you can add a filter for the 'bird' and 'link' emoji:
