One should really avoid the use of these third-party apps to handle your data, if you are at all concerned about privacy/security. Then again, some are currently questioning on the "OTHER PLACE" whether the Mastodon "WAY OF DOING THINGS" is entirely safe... But if you are the kind of person who habitually puts all their trust (and all their data) in devices made by G***le or A**le, you're probably not too worried about who's watching anyway. 🕵️

That circular breath of his was always startling. Glad to see he can still do it!

 This morning's little TRY-OUT was to give the 'fedifinder.glitch.me' thing a go, to see how many of you are still out there!

(I suppose, in hindsight, that really should have been the FIRST thing I did when setting up this WoollyMammoth... but y'know, still working things out...)

I think you're right - when you create a list, it doesn't work retrospectively. You only see posts from AFTER the point you set up the list.
 Doing the "LISTS & FILTERS" thing this morning... I created a LIST of mutual followers/followees off of my Twitter, so that they're gathered together in one place over here. Of course, nobody on the list has posted anything yet by the look of it, but it's the thought that counts.

...or whether wigs go "ping!"
Well, at least it plays embedded ON THE PAGE, instead of sending you to YouTube with all its acceptance notices and that. So that's a boon...

Now, the next thing I need to 'TEST' is whether I get any response when I post links to my music files here on the 'Don. I've never had any luck on The Other Place, to be honest. Nobody listens to any of my stuff and I am resigned to the fact... but here we go...

If Elron is closing the Tw***er offices for a week, then it might be the extra incentive I need to give this thingy a proper try-out.

I really can't understand what he's doing, unless it's just another example of the "If I can't have it, nobody else can" pram-play favoured by selfish and entitled rightists everywhere.

Hi Wendy, I'm (also) currently experimenting with the best way to display photos on this thingy. I think a landscape format works the best - square or portrait images don't fit the screen depth all too well on a desktop (THEY'RE HUGE!!!), but they're not so bad on a phone. 🤔
