It’s my birthday but it’s Bailey looking like the most interesting man in the world over here. #cats #CatsofMastodon

This is one of the last things I'm going to say about feature requests + current meta.
1. I think we need a lot more understanding about what community is and the many ways that community building takes place. The Community™️ is not a thing, and it never has been; the concept of The Community genuinely is a concept of control and silencing, especially once you start breaking it down. There are many communities.
2. There are tools that would be useful, but I also still think people need to take time to consider how they're implemented and used. At the moment, a lot of us have a chance to work through solving these issues. Do you like Quote Tweets? Is that really the *best* way to handle things? Are there other options? In what ways can the opt-in/out structure fail? Same thing goes with full-text search.
A lot of people need to move beyond "We had this elsewhere," while more others need to move beyond "We don't want this."
3. We may need to move beyond Mastodon. Not in terms of disconnecting from it entirely, but we definitely need to realise that Mastodon may have to go, and we'll have to slowly create new things and migrate elsewhere... to actually build things to get away from being so entirely analagous to corporate things all the time, to build what we may really need or want.

If you are considering running your own Mastodon server (or similar service) and it will be hosted in the United States, please read this general best practice guideline from the Electronic Frontier Foundation: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/user-generated-content-and-fediverse-legal-primer

Some #mosstodon for your viewing pleasure. A little more processing than I normally throw in but it has that real elvish fantasy vibe going on.
NZ Beech forest is such an amazing place to be.

my gripe with nostalgia for childhood products: i can't find good luck bear with any of the care bear products to save my life! good luck bear was my favorite bear growing up and i loved my plush of him to death and id love to get a new one of him but i cant find him 😭

The one thing that Mastodon is currently missing is a mysterious Busytown denizen with good taste in textiles and a dog named "Cameron the Dog"

Vonnegut's reflection is a breath of fresh air in an achievement-crazy culture - and particularly welcome in contrast to the grit mindset that says kids must stick with one thing until they master it (even if joylessly) rather than sampling a broad range of experiences.

concept: ghost ship fedi instance. It only federates with one other instance at a time, and after a random amount has passed, jumps to another at random

New account, new platform, I reserve the right to repost stuff I love.
Nikki and I made this comic together in 2011 and it's still one of my favorite things we've ever made together. (Mouse OCs belong to each of us.)

Things can look pretty fucked, but considering the world ended ten years ago today, we're doing pretty alright.

"When I was young," the old dragon said, "I hoarded gold."
"Were you wealthy?" asked the princess.
"Unimaginably. And I feared losing it all. So I began to seek knowledge."
"Were you wise?"
"Yes. I realised that, too, can be lost."
"It can."
"Mm. Did I tell you of my gold?"
"No?"

@kirkmanbrandon Seen written in my Latin book in high school:
Latin's a dead language
Dead as dead can be
Latin killed the Romans
And now it's killing me.
