so now that the gang’s all here (or well on their way) how can we make this place awesome for everyone? I’ll go first… I got some ideas which I’m sure you’re all excited to hear:
1) lets leave all that gotcha mentality back at the old place. No one cares how many followers you have, it doesn’t matter here. Also, it doesn’t make your ideas better or you a better person.
2) Does this need to be said? said by me? said by me right now?
3) Lets have open palms, open minds, and honest, curious questions.
4) Can we assume good intent by default? At least for a little while anyway?
5) I bet we can… by actually having good intent by default.
I know everyone can do it. I believe in you. You’re (almost) all good people when you’re not on those other sites. Just be that same person here.
Lets make this the “Eternal November” people are talking about 25 years from now.
When people travel to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small.
Few people think that they can radically change the future by doing something small in the present.
This is the only real time travel paradox.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors will vote soon on a policy that would allow the San Francisco Police Department to use deadly force by arming its many robots. This is a spectacularly dangerous idea and EFF’s stance is clear: police should not arm robots.TAKE ACTIONEMAIL YOUR SUPERVISOR: don'...
Tiny Mastodon Newbie Profile Page Tips 🐘✨:
About your profile page 👤
If you just arrived here,
before following lots of people, it’s a good idea to complete your profile page.
This will increase the chances of people following you back and finding your profile.
1. Write about who you are and/or what you like in your profile bio (you can use hashtags there so people can find you). It’s okay if it’s short, but write something 📝
2. Personalize your profile picture with something you like. Don’t just let the Mastodon default, it makes you look like an anonymous bot. And you are not a bot! (unless you are) 🤖
3. You can write an introduction about yourself in a toot (post) and use the hashtag “# introduction” (minus the space). You can pin this toot to your profile page so that it stays at the top. You don’t have to write it right away, but it can help people finding you and deciding to follow you #️⃣
4. Post or boost a few toots that you like, so that your profile timeline isn’t completely empty 
5. Then, when your profile looks like a page that represents you, follow the people that interest you. Interact with them. Be kind 💚 Make friends! 
6. Magic!✨
