If you've been waiting for full-text #search on #Mastodon, please go to #TootFinder and sign in. The more, the merrier.
https://www.tootfinder.ch/

Thanks to @buercher for building it.

It's opt-in, not opt-out. It respects Mastodon culture and doesn't index accounts that don't sign in.

That means the index might be small if we don't spread the word.

The Misfits, but when they were broken up and Danzig wasn’t in the band, but also neither was anyone else and there were a bunch of cover bands touring under the same name.

If you own your own domain and want to be accessible on Mastodon via @[email protected], but you don't want to bother with self hosting, it's pretty easy to set up.

On your Mastodon instance, navigate to `/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:[email protected]`. Copy the JSON response.

On your website, add a JSON response at `/.well-known/webfinger` and send the JSON from Mastodon.

That's it! Search for your alias username on Mastodon and your real account should show up.

"ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web" by Ted Chiang. This is easily the best piece I've read about large language models.

Has a bunch of great new metaphors to seek your teeth into.

Telling people on Mastodon not to use Twitter feels a bit like the “you wouldn’t steal a car” PSAs from the FBI at the beginning of DVDs.

If you are a person who is new to the fediverse, or who’s returning to explore after a while away, I can affirmatively say (as someone who has been here right from the start) that we’re all glad to have you, and excited to see what you share, and inspired by the new ideas you have for what’s possible here.

Remember how food in Star Trek: TOS was just cubes in shades you'll find in a kindergarten classroom?

The NYT translated my Op-Ed on the shootings in Half Moon Bay #MontereyPark & Laguna Woods into Chinese! I was reminded of how essential it is for us to reach out to non-English speakers on this topic. There doesn’t seem to be a way to gift Chinese language articles so here it is as a PDF—please share.

If you were going to create a single-user #Mastodon instance for yourself and wanted to host it as a subdomain of your existing site, what would be a good name? I’ve considered talk, chat, social, fedi, masto… I feel like there’s something obvious that I’m missing.

Believing you are neutral is one of the most obvious signs your positions are aligned with the people who are powerful in a community/organization/nation.
