Mastodon
How do we search for our friends? #NoClue #LearningCurve

@Sangcafe @TheHardyBoyCats Some of us have been using the hashtag #catsrus

Search it to find furriendz. Use it so others can find you.

Have we successfully (re)democratized technology?
We’ve spent our time, energy, & resources exploiting ourselves to contribute in tech oligopolies. Billionaires emerged, owning social services & communities for profit on an uninterruptible line of communication.
Yet here we we are, on a new social network. Distributed. Run by people for people. A truly amazing feat. Thanks to the devs, the admins, the moderators, the supporters, and to you for taking time to join.
Let’s see where #mastodon goes.

Texas Observer did it right.

Set up their own instance for staff: not just accounts on other instances.

Welcome to the Fedi:
@TexasObserver

@jeffjarvis Is this the first official press org to do what you advised?

Texas Observer Social

Founded in 1954, The Texas Observer is a progressive nonprofit news outlet and print magazine covering the Lone Star State.

Mastodon hosted on texasobserver.social

While many people have commented on how much better it is here on Mastodon than it is on the birdsite, you should be aware that minorities (LGBTQ+, BIPOC, Jews) have been the targets of abuse here.

Also, trolls have started to set up instances to attack scientists, for example: https://fediscience.org/@ct_bergstrom/109371920177171488.

Let's not kid ourselves; we are in a (relative) honeymoon period before the assholes show up. Yes, we have tools to deal with them (muting, blocking, even defederation), but we need to do more.

An inkling is a baby ink.
Smokey says hi :)
It’s Gigi, the big kitten, doing her lithe stretch. #caturday.
