So how's that "unregulated, uninsured, un-tied to any govt" pride feeling now? #FTX #cryptocurrency_price_today

Mastodon is the Carpathia, picking up what's left of Twitter users after their vessel sinks

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?"

"It always has been ..."

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
