AAAAHHH WOW!!! HOLY SHIT!! Using Not-Mastodon makes me *really* frustrated that Mastodon doesn't have conversation_id legacy support! Oh! Why! What an interesting post! I wonder what post it's in response to! Oh? It's a Mastodon user? I can't figure out who they're talking to?

My fellow Mastos, I highly recommend hanging out on this side of the fence for a bit and you'll quickly have empathy for everyone upset about interoperability issues.
If content warnings are important to you, there's some good discussion about possible strategies for including them in postActiv here: https://git.postactiv.com/postActiv/postActiv/issues/94

ok I just read "trade unicorns" instead of "trade unions".

good morning, i guess, even though this morning has turned out to have fewer unicorn than i imagined.

Whooooa I just got kudos on a fic other than the very emo one that I usually get kudos for

For one that is slightly weird and also my favourite

Awwwwwwwww :3

I'm super motivated to try writing more fanfic? I mean… I have Some Ideas…

I'm also very tired now and unsure how to language

good night, woolly elephant thing, good night

And it's actually comfortable, and that is so exiting. I haven't had a comfortable binder for a very long time.

I also made another one that didn't really bind smaller, but it's not that comfortable, the material is weird. but it is also wearable now. And I have another one of the comfortable-but-too-small ones to improve, AND I'm going to return the one that I bought and get a larger size and then I'll have FOUR BINDERS OMG.

And THEN I sewed a piece of fabric into the back of one of my too-small binders and it worked and now it fits and I am such a proud cat (with a very flowery binder) computerfairi.es/media/6HVLNpD computerfairi.es/media/xVK1N_V

I cut my hair (well, re-did my undercut) and honestly I'm always too lazy to do that for months so the amount of hair looked as if I had shaved an Actual Cat

@crecca twitter.com/TwidereProject/sta - for the beta channel you have to scroll down on the google play page and there is something like "register as beta tester", and you do that, and wait a few minutes, and then you can update :)

mastodon / bird site 

I have to admit that so far, when I compare my TLs, there is one big difference.
I can only describe it as #MastodonSoWhite

I'm not sure if it is an instance thing or everywhere the same.

I'm not finding the accounts? Or do they even exist?
I'm not looking for the right hashtag? Are these conversation even taking place here?

I feel like we are missing out on great people.

@cassolotl@cybre.space maybe! i was curious and haven't had much time yet to try things. so far the replies are the only thing that i found that doesn't work as it should, but for actually using it and not just looking around, it might still be better to wait.

@cassolotl@cybre.space yay, okay, replies seem to work if you add the instance after the handle.

@cassolotl@cybre.space it feels a bit overwhelming, but i might get used to it! I made separate home tabs for all my accounts and deleted the shared one that i had for my 2 Twitter accs, that makes it more manageable. Replies don't seem to work yet (now trying if adding the instance manually helps…) which is sad, but it is beta, so.

You have to register to be a beta tester on the Twidere Google play page, then wait a few minutes, then you can update :)

@LinuxSocist@icosahedron.website i know :) my only concern is that mixing Twitter and Mastodon might be overwhelming for me so i might want to keep them in separate apps.

Wow! Okay! I can now use Mastodon in Twidere! Let's see if I actually want to! *doubletweets/toots*

Everyone read this incredible essay by @u2764

"Mourning Mastodon"

medium.com/@alliethehart/gamei

If you're wondering why I stopped working in MastoDev, and why my posts about how development already includes marginalized voices are no longer applicable, then read that essay because it gets into all of it super fucking well

Book selection thread for the first official scifi.fyi book club:

So far the suggestions have been:

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem
Hothouse by Brian W. Aldiss
Old Man's War by John Scalzi
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

Let me know if you have more suggestions and/or a preference on one of the books already listed!
