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

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.

@grammargirl Did you read this article about AI Chat from Ted Chiang? It’s a little long, but he points out why it’s probably not even a great idea for brainstorming:

"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.

@kmiddelburg There have been a lot of seemingly weird moves in women’s fashion in the last few years that seem to be geared toward “showing off more skin in an area that most people would not be embarrassed to show off” and that leads to things like giving people the cold shoulder(s).
@pogue OOOOOF. Stop having COVID! That’s my recommendation!

@darren Right? Let’s give people reasons to use Mastodon! Let’s make it easier and more pleasant to use Mastodon! Let’s create great rich content on Mastodon!

(Or my usual sniping? One of those two…)

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.
