@lutoma @ejpcollins Yes, there does seem to be a more respectful way to do it. I remember the Mastodon app being pretty decent, although I did switch to Tusky.

In any case, the official app was only released this year.

@lieselm @bloonface @steve your admin is @martinmuc – you can find it at the /about page (https://troet.cafe/about).

Hallo im troet.cafe! Dies ist die derzeit größte deutschsprachige Mastodon Instanz zum tröten, neue Leute kennenlernen, sich auszutauschen und Spaß zu haben.

Mastodon hosted on troet.cafe

Tip to new #Mastodon users, especially #law #legal #LawFedi types migrating from #lawtwitter:

Welcome! Get situated, say hi, introduce yourself--but don't JUST do that. You bring interesting perspectives on your profession, practice, and #court developments. Start sharing those thoughts!

See an intriguing/silly/unusual legal filing or argument? You've got a whole new audience of people here who are interested and were smart enough to navigate the tech hurdles to get here. Let's hear about it!

Did my first #run today as part of the Couch to 5K programme. It was really tough, but I'm proud of myself for getting out there.

While running is something new, I'm returning back to the gym tomorrow. Bit nervous for it, but at least I know what I'm doing there.

@asadasad I very much understand the benefits of postal voting – in fact I use it myself!

There's a really hard problem of family voting that is enabled by postal voting though. I've considered this problem for a while, and to me a system closer to the Finnish system seems ideal.

They have the ability to vote early. For those who can't (e.g. some disabled people), a member of the election team will attend at home with another witness to allow them to vote in secret.

Also the train sounds like it's going to fall apart and it's not even a pacer.

Why is the #greatnorthern service announcement so stilted? It's like:

Welcome aboard this…

SERVICE…

I really hadn’t realized how much disgust I would feel witnessing how Elon is treating Twitter employees. I was iffy about him & his plans, but now I strongly associate his brands (Twitter, Tesla, Elon) with that visceral feeling of disgust.
@alan @Luke @gomez Yeah DPD are actually decent in my area. And, controversially, Hermes/Evri is alright here too.
@stux Happy birthday to mstdn.social!
