Cancer haver. My body hates me. My immune system tries to kill me. Hodgkin’s lymphoma x2. Plus 3 solid precancer things.
People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!
#TwitterMigration
Feeling sad as hell about twitter ending or whatever is happening rn. It’s been such an important platform for communication and culture it’s hard to think anything could even begin to replicate its role :( #tech #technology #twittermigrate #twitter #elon
WIRED just published my beginner's guide to Mastodon! Thank you to the 100+ people who responded to my request for tips and advice for understanding the culture here. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-get-started-use-mastodon/
A quick shout out to @thepoliticalcat for their liberal use of boost. Best follow I’ve made, to introduce so many things to my feed.

Hello! Long time no see!

And welcome to the new users, of which there are... quite many, aren't there?

As you may have noticed, this project has been on a bit of a hiatus for a while. This is something I work on in my free time, and I got a bit burned out on working on it, and wanted to use my free time for other stuff. But with this recent influx of so many new users, I figured I do need to come back to this.

So I am planning to at least release some smaller updates in the near future!

Know what’s better for the planet than luxury electric cars by a factor of a gadzillion? Not actually constructing our entire social and economic geography around auto-mobility. Geography, not technology, is the key to sustainability.
@lakelady hmmm. I just checked and using toot on the iPhone, if I tap the picture, I can see it. But my preference is web interface on an iPad. And that doesn’t seem to have an option.
@lakelady I can’t figure out how to see the alt text. I’ve clicked all over trying to find it. I think I’ve been using it, but can’t figure out how to confirm.

ACCESSIBILITY TIP: Adding emojis to your display name is terrible for people who use screen readers.

I was just reminded by someone that when you do this (as I had done), then they have to listen to the screen reader read out all the emojis/icons BEFORE getting to your actual post.

So my name came across as:

Thank you to the person who reminded me of this!

Just when I thought Mastodon couldn't get any better, I discover #StandingStoneSunday . So here's my contribution, a #pinhole photo of Scorhill stone circle, probably my favourite and most-visited place on #Dartmoor
