@Randy_Au I'm buying this now for my adult self!
@wongmjane sorry to hear that! pls take care!
Reddit humor
There were two notable moderation incidents on mastodon.social and mastodon.online in the past 24 hours that I would like to address. In the first, a post was wrongfully removed due to a report claiming it contained a dogwhistle, and in the second, a person was wrongfully suspended due to a report claiming it's an impersonator. Both were undone and apologies issued.
Twitter was special. But it's time to leave

Tweets were always short-lived. Turns out Twitter was too.

* "Mastodon doesn't need to become popular." Sure. But like it or not, it's getting more popular, and many of the newcomers have a different culture and expectations. Eugen Rochko: "People who are arriving now have as much right to be here and bring their own culture as the ones who came before them." https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/109323118267580967

Again, all I'm suggesting is choice, and I thought Mastodon is all about choice.

@russokrauss @vicki there could be algorithmic feed versions of home, local and federated timelines. I think providing that choice is helpful.

Same goes with quote tweets, an option to enable or disable at a server level should be good. Or why not make it at a user level control? Ppl who don't want to get dunked, QT'ed can disable it.

I don't want to just be posting about numbers like a clock, but the 2 million mark of monthly active users across the network is a pretty big deal. This is going big numbers! Shout out to all the server operators who are absorbing this wave.
