The really neat thing about the new https://pixelfed.org server directory is that admins will be able to add testimonials along with favourite posts, community guidelines, custom banner, a brief summary and much more to their directory listings!

This should help people find the perfect server to join! #pixelfed

If you want to delete all your old Twitter DMs (which I think is a good idea even if Twitter might retain copies of them somewhere), and also your historical likes, RTs, and any tweets you don’t want to keep, I made a Twitter app for that.
It’s called Semiphemeral and it’s pretty easy to use. I posted instructions for how to do it https://twitter.com/semiphemeral/status/1591258781098594304?s=46&t=L4aWvmyNxEFRL6eULgeO-A

Oh... Oh God! Whoever did this.... The dedication!! The... The downtime!!! O_o

"So, the INTERNET is Federated now?"

Oh man... just found that the "MASTO 95" theme is the correct way to use this site.

Some good tips and explanations on scaling a #mastodon server at https://nora.codes/post/scaling-mastodon-in-the-face-of-an-exodus/ HN discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33562163

Staying on #Twitter is a liability for major brands.

Yesterday a scammy Twitter-verified account (one that paid $8) posted as the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly that "insulin is now free." This morning, Eli Lilly's stock dropped off a cliff.

Musk's manufactured chaos at Twitter is having very real economic consequences.

I posted a message to mastodon via ham radio! iPhone via Bluetooth to a Mobilinkd TNC3 modem to BaoFeng UB5R. The signal went about 4 miles to the UT Austin Amateur Radio Club's antenna on top of Physics building (KA5D) where their iGate send it to 4X5MG whose bot posted it. Pretty neat! https://botsin.space/@aprs/109316550326136608

New data about the growth of the #fediverse. The number of new accounts is now on average around 100k per day after the peak in November 8th of 135k new users.

Oh my god, I had such a laugh!

Thank you so much for this @kathygriffin

Back in 2010 #twitter launched their “t.co” link shortened. And I thought at the time how profoundly terrible that is. If the database and/or ability to look up t.co links ever changed, we would literally lose information. We will no longer know what URL was tweeted. It burns a huge hunk of internet history to the ground if we lose that. It was vain and shortsighted and stupid. Now in 2022, I wonder how many months we have left when we can resolve those links. And what happens to collective internet history when they’re done?

In another funny twist, what about trials or legal matters that hinge on the content of a tweet? And suddenly you can’t get the content of that tweet? Or where did that link point to?

Nobody saw this coming except for all of us who saw this coming.
