unfortunately this will mean needing an internet-enabled device with you each daily game you start on your palm to check the server. Or you can fetch an RSS feed with the next few IDs in advance. Classic mode is still also an option but answers won't sync

I'm not getting a job evidently so give me money. I need money to stay here and to buy things to keep me alive. I'd love to not ask you (yes, you, specifically) for money but literally there is no way for me to get a job, trust me I tried. Your move. ko-fi.com/squirrel

For all it's advantages and faults, #Mastodon was not built to be a *new* Twitter. It was built to be *not* Twitter.

That distinction is important.

Twitter was once so weird that you had to use it from a feature phone. No smartphone app, & not even a website. The 140-char limit was because SMS is limited to 160 chars for everything.

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.

Just gonna say it again

If you're using the official mastodon app on your phone: Stop It

It doesn't support basic features of the platform

Try Tusky on Android or Metatext on iOS

me: working from home gives me the opportunity to focus on tasks free from the the distractions of a noisy office!

brain:

TROUT

TROUT

LET IT ALL OUT

THESE ARE THE FISH I CAN DO WITHOUT

I’M TALKING TO YOU

SALMON

me: cool never mind

No algorithms for user-generated content. "The " is how bad stuff rises like flotsam littering the surface while all the really good stuff sinks like jetsam never to be seen. Algorithms are how the big walled gardens like the birdcage got as bad as they are.

No algorithms. Only personal blogging, tagging, sharing, curating.

You know it's strange, How many people apparently want mastodon to have an algorithm to boost their friends posts.

Just kinda wild to me considering like, that's one of the big things everyone hated about the dead bird site.

Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.

This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.

If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".

So #KeepFediWeird.

If “the cloud” were meant to be a reliable storage medium of data, it would have been called “the fortress” or “the bedrock.” Instead, the cloud metaphor fits how it can slip away at any time

I don’t care what happens to Twitter so long as I have a screenshot of this
