new social, new me ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

A generic he/him Dave. Fell in love with Twitter because I got to see the world through the eyes of so many people that are not me.

I do mostly #javascript for a living. I live with one #cat, two small yapper-type #dogs, my lovely missus and an assortment of children.

Scrambling to set up a #singleuserinstance so I can post from my own @.johnmastodon account.

What? This is perfectly rational.

Update on the mobile app recommendations: #fedilab has the best feature set. Little rough around the edges and it's not free but it's under active development.

@KeithOlbermann is here. Elon booted him, and several other reputable people and journos. He also sacked all the janitors that worked in his building… yep. He did. (Against regulations of the State).

Looks like the new user rate is slowing down somewhat, but still elevated.

For the last couple hours Mastodon added around 2000 users per hour. The surge peaked at 78K users in one 24 hour period.

While there have been a few slowdowns, Mastodon has handled this surge well. The volume was not as high as before, there are many more servers now, and instance administration is more experience and are better prepared.

Great job everyone and welcome to all the #NewUsers.

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.

If you go to https://spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction

Space Karen Sucks

Free speech really should be free. To bypass the new censorship regime at twitter, use this URL shortener to link to Mastodon or other censored destinations. Considering recent policy decisions on twitter, please be aware that use of links generated from this site may constitute a violation of their policy.

@sophie I think it still depends on which instance you're on. As far as I understand it mastodon.social is still a trash fire, moderation-wise. You might get more informed answers by tagging something like #BlackMastodon though.
