It appears that mstdn.social is still struggling today. My home timeline is a mess of old posts.
My home timeline is all messed up tonight. Anyone else? Local feed seems find but my home timeline is showing nothing newer than like 3 hours ago.
So far in the few days since setting shop on mstdn.social I’ve yet to see anyone being attacked, humiliated, or derided because of their faith, sexual orientation, race, or gender. Let’s not let that be overlooked. There are genuinely good people here.

Lotta talk about replacing Twitter.

The better dialogue is how to get people to re-evaluate how they engage with the internet.

Personally, I'm convinced of two things:

- You can't 1:1 replace Twitter unless it's a similar top-down walled garden.

- Most people probably shouldn't want a Twitter replacement, since Twitter is bad for us.

Instead of finding/molding/creating a replacement, we should encourage people (and ourselves!) to focus on what they like most about internet interaction.

Following my first 24 hours on Mastodon, here is my impression:
Mastodon = lovely, lazy river ride with nice people on inflatables drinking martinis 
Twitter = white water rapids with stressed people trying to steer broken canoes away from an impending waterfall
Wow, even in the couple of days I’ve been here I feel like a tide has turned with migrations from the other place. Exciting to see so many amazing voices here that I’ve enjoyed reading for years. Thank you early adopters for creating such a lovely space and welcoming your new neighbors.

Just kicked off a canvas in Beaverton with elected officials and local Oregon #MomsDemandAction volunteers who are getting out the vote for #TinaKotek, gun sense candidates up and down the ballot, and #Measure114. #orleg #momsareeverywhere
Race update. Finished the 5k at 25:03 official time. I was hoping for 26 minutes so I’m very happy with my time. #running
Up early for a 5k race this morning. I had originally intended to run the half marathon option today but sadly didn’t get the work in. So I’m going to enjoy the 5k and try to not beat myself up over it. #running
