Bryan CantrillI -- like many -- am loving the experience here on Mastodon! But perhaps also like many: I have struggled to not gawk at the chaos on the birdsite. As it was when Trump on the platform: whenever I feel I have steeled my resolve to not be trolled, it finds some new level of insanity. (CEO code reviews at 1:30a?! WAT?!) Today I have resolved to do a Twitter fast, and I am amazed at how much muscle memory I have for the birdsite -- but also how easy it ultimately is to restrict myself to Mastodon!

I write code and books
@orta “your existing testing/UI framework and IDE” is apparently neither Vitest nor Neovim. :P
Anyways, looks good, and I may end up using anyhow someday.
@timfoster Oh neat! I never thought to try that.
Paul FordDear God I missed sharing the neat things I find as a huge dork. What a relief to do my thing without having to align the sharing of the neat things I find with someone else's larger goals of creating a universal throbbing noöspheropticon (also...not feeling morally obligated to contextualize it within sixth-wave Kropotkinism or whatever else people have decided is the most urgent solution to all social failings that week.)
I LOVE content warnings. Let me help you keep me away from you! This is exactly right.
Now to get a freaking blog running.
@I’ve just seen this blog that applies to people like me flooding into Mastodon recently and altering the vibe for established users & and the particular “manners” developed over time precisely to discourage the worse end of Twitter conduct.
We may be feeling like the noisy invaders at a quiet house party
I am having to learn new ways of doing things. Using the CW wrapper much more now.
Do read it as it is thought provoking and necessary reading from @hughrundle
@howardtayler Thank you! ❤️ It's a delight to get your thoughts, as always.
If I think of it like that, it helps me think of my whole contribution to a server, not just one slice of my life as a contribution to the server. To me, this is a healthier way to think about the whole platform and my relationship with it.
You are not a one-dimensional being, there's more to you than one particular topic or genre. Your timeline is probably to have people from a variety of backgrounds and professions and perspectives. This will be the case no matter which server your account lives on.
Whichever server you're on, your posts are appearing in its local timeline. This is your contribution to the texture of the server. But it's that way because you are who you are, not because of a particular topic.
@howardtayler So, I look at this a little differently... maybe I'm not up-to-date on moderation on some of the other servers, but:
I think of different servers as less a collection of topical content, and more a collection of topical people.
Liam HoganSome further thoughts on my Mastodon experience: it has made me step back and reevaluate how social media should operate. We built entire communities on Twitter but were ultimately treated like a product for trade. It does not have to be like this.
