Eugen RochkoDecided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.

blaine"Mastodon sucks because any one of the 5000+ communities can set their own rules and might accidentally deprive people in that community of my witty hot takes for a reason I personally believe to be flippant" isn't the sick burn that the Twitter user with 50k followers thinks it is.
Dave WalkerMastodon tips (brief)
1. Server choice - tricky
2. Add a pic and bio
3. I prefer 'Advanced web interface'
4. And the 'Light' theme
5. Listen to long-time users
6. Tip your server admins
7. Hashtags pretty important
8. Put Alt text on pics
9. Use Content Warning if in doubt
10. Pin introduction post
11. Do some boosting
12. Follow interesting people
13. Hashtags can be followed too
14. DMs not secure
15. Be respectful
16. Thank you, people who run this
Caffe NekoDear Twitter ex-pats. When we all flounced out of Twitter loudly proclaiming we were going to Mastodon this sent a message to trolls, nazis that they could set up servers & come here.
If anyone gets harrassed with hatespeech pls note that that is not the culture of Mastodon. Please report & block those users. If you notice a pattern from the same weird domain, block that domain, write a post of the server name w/ a hashtag fediblock so your server admin can follow up & block it for everyone.
I moved to @law-and-politicsAgain, this is an attempt to frame the issue as a dispute under the PRA instead of a former guy walking off with government documents.
Notice how smoothly his lawyers (Trusty & Kise) transition from "the president can do whatever he wants" to "Trump is a private citizen entitled to protection from government abuse." (Screenshot)
He then transitions to the argument that a former president now a private citizen creates "special circumstances.”
Trump claims that because he remains politically active, a criminal inquiry or indictment harms him by harming his reputation.
You have to give his lawyers credit for their nerve in advancing that argument with a straight face.
Conclusion: The 11th Circuit already found (in deciding the stay issue) that Trump is likely to lose this appeal on the merits.
I do not expect the DOJ's appeal to break Trump's losing streak.
Shoq 🌿I hate to beat a suffering horse, but it's important for you bleeding edgers to remind pioneers that this new digital frontier is the #Fediverse, not #Mastodon.
Mastodon is the currently popular covered wagon you can drive, but there are others already, and now that the #Fediverse is reaching a take-off point (courtesy of Musk and @Gargron's hard work), there will be many more to come. Mastodon is sure to be competitive with them. (Competition can be pivotal, and something Birdsite never had.)

@vambenepe @pacoid that's gold right there ... suspicion must be the foundational (social) api/filter moving forward :)
Simon Willison@thisisaaronland @allafarce I'm getting quite excited about the potential to create weird and interesting bots without asking permission OR forgiveness
Especially if they only do stuff for people who follow them!
