You don't need to use the official Mastodon apps, they're not the best way to use Mastodon. The official apps only arrived last year, and they were intended as "Fisher Price My First Mastodon" things with a restricted set of features.
Third party apps have been around longer than official ones, and include way more features. You can sign in with the same account on all apps.
On Android try Tusky, Fedilab, Megalodon, Tooot
On iPhone/iPad, try Toot!, Ice Cubes, Ivory, Mona

broo i have serious doubts about your survival skills. i don't think you'd survive very long if you had to negotiate with a dragon. no offense but you've got that "dragon lunch" look written all over your face. they'd take one look at you and be like, "yeah this guy's my lunch"

One thing the twitter outage/limits shows more than anything is how many organisations rely on it for public service communications despite it being an enclosed system. Free is not the same as open and certainly not the same as accessible to all.
This seems to be endemic among large and small organisations, my housing association use FB for group meetings where they invite tenants to take part. I have never been able to take part in this because I don't use FB.

Wint (dril) finally leaving Twitter really is the end of the era. Reading back through his quotes, he all but defined the vibe of Internet discourse through the 10's. https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Dril
Also I love the idea that a legendary shitposter leaving is what will finally mark the site as dead. Not when everyone else left, famous people, when the site broke, etc, no- because what truly defined Twitter was:
"who the fuck is scraeming 'LOG OFF' at my house. show yourself, coward. i will never log off'' -dril
@Nifflas@mastodon.gamedev.place For C do I need to be close or be able to see the thing I copy or can I for example make a copy of someone's else's stuff that I know exists?
@Nifflas@mastodon.gamedev.place What's the area of effect on the time spell? Could I target everyone and everything in a particular place all at once, or do I need to target each one at a time?
@Nifflas@mastodon.gamedev.place to clarify I think the current admin on the instance I'm on, pays out of pocket, but I'm sure they would ask if they needed help to cover the costs

the fact archiving services like web.archive.org and archive.today can no longer archive tweets means this is now a great time for twitter users to audaciously lie about shit they'll soon be proved wrong about, and they can just plausibly deny it later
@Nifflas@mastodon.gamedev.place So, I'm on a different instance but as an example, on the instance I'm on the previous admin used to take donations on patreon.
Then for some reason they didn't want to run it anymore and for a few weeks it looked like it was gonna close down in a couple of months.
But then someone stepped up and offered to take over and that's how we got our current admin.
LB, google search
I'm glad I switched away from using google search a long time ago, I've been using duck duck go and it's been alright
I recently found out there are paid search engines and honestly might give one a try, I'm just so tired of ads, sure I've got an ad blocker, but the fact that it's funded by ads is still there lurking in the background

Of employers who forced staff back to the office, 42% said "attrition" was higher than normal, 21% said the move had actually lost them some of their "key" staff. 29% were now "struggling" to recruit altogether. Ha ha ha. https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/29/wfh_rto_survey/

@sky The AP in the dining room and the office are both names upstairs AP even though the office is downstairs, idk if that's a simple copy error or intentional

After a lot of painful desoldering
(my desoldering gun has a fucked tip, I've just discovered) I've dumped it.
This is the main ROM for the Laser Compumate-1: A little portable device from 1988-1989 that can do spellchecking, calulatoring, and it's a phone book.
