Jay RosenIf you are just joining Mastodon (as I am) a good basic explainer for what's different (and what's the same) about it.

Average consumption per person in sub-Saharan Africa* is only 185 kWh a year, compared with about 6,500 kWh in Europe and 12,700 kWh in America. An American fridge uses more electricity than a typical African person 😶 https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2022/11/03/africa-will-remain-poor-unless-it-uses-more-energy

Seeing people's photos of the recent partial #eclipse made me remember last year's partial eclipse (when I wasn't clouded out) :) https://www.astrobin.com/zwzfjj/
Eugen RochkoHey, so, we've hit 1,028,362 monthly active users across the network today. 1,124 new Mastodon servers since Oct 27, and 489,003 new users. That's pretty cool.
3. Am I doing threading right?
3. Am I doing threading right?
2. Do the servers have different problems, response times, crash rates? I've found this very slow and buggy today. Is that normal? If servers vary in this way, is there a place to see server stats across the system?
I have questions about Mastadon:
1. Are these messages 'toots'? Is that official, out just something I've seen around?
Grumpy PhilosopherOk, Mastodon is officially a lot more awesome than I had realised. There's a federated server for everyone who's really into bitcoin, and, yes, it is full of people who are as awful as you can imagine. But, with one click, you can block the entire domain! 12.8k thousand crypto weirdos filtered out in a click. Amazing.
