I think I may migrate over to @jerry’s server after work to help make room for all the new users on .social 🤔

@guilevi you have any tips on writing better descriptions? I’d love to make them better!

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

One of my favorite tips for new Fedizens is Nitter.

When you need to link something from the birdsite, replace twitter[.]com with nitter.it. This provides a no-JS mirror of public tweets that's much nicer as a reference.

Is the server slow? #ServerDown?
I'm not angry! 😌
Some large #instances have problems with long response time / #lagging due to the rush of new users recently.

I keep calm ☕ and carry on , because:

👍 I know that it's just a temporary technical issue that has a technical solution in increasing capacities.

👍 The possibilities and philosophy of #Mastodon and #Fediverse are worth the temporary limitation of comfort!

👍 New users can still #register on various other general instances.

@chris this isn’t entirely helpful I know, but a potential work around I use at home as using a PiHole as a home DNS server which supports it and just assign DNS servers via DHCP
