Back listening to the Hamilton soundtrack to prepare for next week's SF performance. #raiseaglasstofreedom so excited!
Watching @leo describe Mastodon / GNUSocial on twit.tv. @kevinmarks is doing a decent job of explaining what's going on.

Instagram: My life is a party.

Snapchat: My life is a quirky TV show.

Facebook: My life turned out great!

Twitter: We're all going to die.

Mastodon: Don't worry, while we are on a quirky, meandering path towards an inevitable apocalypse, we might as well enjoy the ride and show eachother some love in an unorthodox, yet irresistible manner, not in any way hindered by considerations of style, identity or consistency.

The toots must flow.
I've replaced Tweetdeck on my secondary screen with Mastodon. The latter makes me smile, the former made me wince.
Just playing with setting up mastodon on Digital Ocean. Fortunately there's an excellent how-to here

How does toot.twit.tv sound?
I think we'll talk Mastodon on TWiG today with @KevinMarks.
The show begins at 1:30p Pacific/2030 UTC but the Mastodon will probably toot an hour or so in.
#Mastodon v1.1.2 should come pretty soon. This instance is on latest master right now, which means upgrade to Ruby 2.4.1 (perf improvements), a better styled emoji dialog, boost confirmation dialogs, and proper scrolling for filtered notifications.
@dredmorbius Linux. But I just installed npm on MacOS using Brew and it's working fine. (In fact, I'm posting _this_ from MacOS Terminal!)
Out today and I can't wait to listen: http://www.audible.com/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Letterman-Audiobook/B01N35T1CW/ref=a_search_c4_1_1_srTtl?qid=1491963131&sr=1-1
(Disclosure: Audible is a sponsor, but I still can't wait to listen.)
