The thing I want most in the whole world is for zombo.com to host a Mastodon instance. The website is uniquely poised to crack open the next decade of social networking.

In terms of usability, zombo.com warmly welcomes its users and encourages them to do *anything* there. Its Mastodon instance would be bright and colorful, with a short domain name that’s easy to spell!

The “do anything” policy is concerning from a content moderation perspective, but I have faith.

The infinite is possible.

@robotmlg I think that's one of those words I've never seen written and only heard, which I think was part of my problem.

Really I should just join you and marlies on tacobelllabs, seems like a fun time over there.

I don't want to switch to hachyderm because I don't know how to pronounce it...

This video is way more fun and interesting than it has any right to be.

I love the web platform. Not only can its reach not be overstated, but the built-in accessibility is clutch. Don't know what I mean? Just casually type ⌘+ when text is too small.

I think the lesson we should probably take away from this whole Mastodon moderation incident is that we shouldn't be so quick to judge people's motives and jump to the worst assumptions...

Awww, who'm I kidding, it's social media!

If other instances really start blocking mastodon.social, I fear it’s a huge step backward for Mastodon in general. We’re really just hitting a tipping point. Instances are overwhelmed and struggling to scale.
If this instance I’m on has bad moderators, okay, let’s figure that out. But silencing a universe at this nascent stage is, in a word, bonkers.
