NICOLE LIVE UPDATES: Orlando and Melbourne airports to cease commercial operations ahead of Nicole

Tropical Storm Nicole continues to gain strength as its track aims toward Florida’s east coast.

Probably not a lot of people know this now, but Mastodon's web app started out with "Publish". In 2016 a famous YouTuber jokingly offered to support Mastodon's Patreon forever if I changed the button to say "Toot" instead. Needless to say, this was a really early, and not very informed decision. The first glimpse of attention and financial support. As a non-native speaker I had no idea there was another meaning.

PSA:

There's Politics happening a few places around the world right now.

Please, /please/, place all political posts behind a content warning. It's actually in our Code of Conduct as a strong suggestion, but if we see anyone posting heavy political content frequently and without a CW, we will 'limit' the account (at the very least) so that the post don't show up on the public timeline.

Be considerate of the mental health of your online neighbours.

I migrated from another server that is getting a lot of new signups and I must say the performance is wildly better here. Anyone in the #TwitterMigration that is seeing the advice to choose a smaller server... you should definitely take it.

Back in May, I said to people frustrated with Mastodon was "it will feel differently one day soon when you know some people here and there's something to read."

That day has arrived.

Good primer here from @jeffjarvis on the, uh, multiverse (multiple fediverses?) that is emerging https://medium.com/whither-news/hope-for-a-post-musk-net-f156d0cdf431

Some people think Mastodon is too weird to become popular:

I joined Twitter in 2008. We had to put a "d" in front of a tweet to convert it to a direct message and every other day you had some embarrassing private moments exposed because someone forgot about the “d”. Hashtags were just a community hack, introduced by Chris Messina to somehow tag content. Search? Hah, you wish! Tweets via SMS were supposed to be a thing. Oh, and the daily meet and greet with the failwhale. Totally not weird.

If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏
