Had a phone interview for a job today. It's a help desk manager type thing. Remote.

I asked, "do you use keystroke loggers, screen cappers, and other surveillance technology?"

Confused muttering. Finally from someone on the call, "yes."

Me. "are these always on? I see you don't provide PCs. Are you expecting me to put these things on my own PC? Can they be turned off when I am not on duty?"

Them: always on

Me: "wow"

Them: no one else has asked this question.

Me: YIKES

With each new surge of Mastodon users, I feel the need to point out:

1. Welcome!

2. There is a learning curve here, but most people find it short and not very steep. Play around, explore. You'll get it.

3. Lots of people are willing to help.

4. Yes, it's different than Twitter. Sometimes in good ways, sometimes not. But you'll figure it out.

5. With surges especially, things sometimes get slow/glitchy, but they usually get fixed pretty quick.

Be patient.

What's all the fuss?

Our friends at @ADSBexchange were suspended on Twitter today. People are not happy about that decision.

So we decided to set up a Mastodon server for all radio fans.

So far we are really liking Mastodon a lot. Looking forward to connect with our hobbyist friends here too.

Get in touch, and let's all connect.
