Me: Mastodon is the best. People are friendly, there's no manipulative algorithm, and it's full of interesting content.
Journalist: Amazing, the headline of my article will be "Mastodon is social media's new hope".
Me: Also, there are no ads.
Journalist: Interesting. Let's change that headline to "Mastodon is a toxic cesspool that is already dead".
Visiting Richmond, VA for the weeeknd, go outside to take pictures on my walk. Instant fog on my camera lens. So damn humid and only 9:00.
So the "Decentralized" #Bluesky is now down because there’s too many people wanting to use it.

"Decentralized"
Told my wife that for a period of time in elementary school we were not allowed to run on the blacktop at recess. We had to walk or skip. The argument for this was safety(?!).
There were other grass & mulch areas of the playground we could run.
But blacktop, no go.
She, a kindergarten teacher, could not comprehend this.
Was I at the only elementary school with such a rule?
Welcome to all the new users fleeing twitter! It's important to remember that the Fediverse (the correct term to describe what people frequently call "Mastodon") isn't Twitter and there are different social rules here. In order to avoid upsetting people who've been here for a while already, here's some guidance:
1. Become ungovernable
2. No snitching
3. Otherwise, do whatever the fuck you want
Hope that helps!
Well, if you wanted Twitter out of your life, Elon seems to be helping you out.
