masto-history help please? 

Would you all point me to any cite-able links discussing Masto's relatively queer/furry/commie early community?

I want to refer to it in an essay, and can't simply offer my personal recollection as evidence.

Articles, blog posts all welcome. Anything with a stable URL.

Thank you so much!

Yeah no idea if I'm going to like it! There is definitely potential for that (the ships *-*)

…well I'm watching Killjoys episode 1 now, I hope I like it

…Orphan Black is still over

I'll have to find ways handle the feelings this makes me feels (mainly "no, why" and "give it back" and "I liked this thing, it was good" and "at least force me to rewatch it once a year, please?")

so you know when there was a huge influx of users to mastodon.social and we were all worried the gay/furry/commie culture would disappear

did that actually happen? i still follow roughly the same people and i never look at the ptl so i have no idea what the predominant culture here is, my home tl is still pretty fiercely gay/furry/commies

I feel the nervous in my body and I Do Not Like It 🐈

I have no clue how to make friends on this site/connect with others, and I'm too sleepy to bother to make an effort to figure it out at the moment.

Maybe if I throw out a bunch of hashtags, folx will see this post and follow me because of the #s

-yelling into the void-
How do I find the locals?
The trans folx?
The gaybies?
The POC?

hey! if you're a trans person with bills to pay, hit up the Hypatia Software Org! they have a cash assistance and laptop distribution program that have helped me make ends meet πŸ‘

Having a warning/suggestion thing pop up for image uploads gently nudging the user to write a description for the pics also sounds good.

It'd be nice if that image alt text feature was higher on the TODO list.
I mean, I'm not personally affected but still. A proper #UI for the canonical way to give text descriptions for images is something every website should have.
imho at least
idk how many visually impaired users Masto has???
but like
this shouldn't be hard to do

Got a phone call from an old friend out of the blue! He pointed out this art he did of what would happen if he met a werewolf. (sfw) Thought I'd share!

I think I'd enjoy being an RGB light bulb who is also part of a bot net

It even has a sleep timer, but it makes this charming noise when you turn it off, I don't think that's ideal for a dedicated falling asleep audiobook device.

Show thread

There is still an official support page for it and I'm totally doing a firmware upgrade (June 2008 instead of April 2008!!) as soon as it's charged a bit, but then? Maybe I can use it as an exclusive falling asleep audiobook device o.O

Omg, I found some old but pretty fancy mp3 player and now I'm excited but not sure what to do with it. computerfairi.es/media/j3oRPWD
