@primalmotion I'm not saying he was right, but just because a theory is about an (alleged) conspiracy doesn't mean it must be an incorrect theory. Although conspiracies by their nature are hard to prove.

I mean, besides your chickens if they count :)

@servant OK!
Tell me about your pets (if you have any; I don't remember).

@firith I still check from time to time. Weow, it is quite the dumpster fire

I keep on obsessively checking Mastodon 😦️

@servant It is character 1D159 Musical Symbol Null Notehead. People sometimes use it where something doesn't let you send just spaces, as it is an invisible character. But many systems, when they don't recognize a character, show a vertical box.

Hey, so, we've hit 1,028,362 monthly active users across the network today. 1,124 new Mastodon servers since Oct 27, and 489,003 new users. That's pretty cool.

@agx I'm excited about the Librem 5 and related projects. If I had the money I would be rocking a Librem 5 USA :D

Mastodon – Simplified Federation! a plugin for Firefox

Simplifies following or interacting with other users on remote Mastodon instances in the Fediverse. It skips the “Enter your Mastodon handle” popup and takes you to your own “home” instance, without entering your Mastodon handle on remote instances.

Also Mastodon is the only social media where I've seen Ublock have nothing to block

This one is for all the new people on #Mastodon: did you know that the #fediverse has more than just a microblogging replacement? And that they can all interoperate with your Mastodon account?

Check them out!

Facebook replacement: Friendica
Instagram replacement: Pixelfed
YouTube replacement: PeerTube
Spotify replacement: Funkwhale
MeetUp replacement: Mobilizon
Reddit replacement: Lemmy
Podcasting replacement: Castopod
GoodReads replacement: BookWyrm

@ArtisticAlexis I forgot something. If your server (mas.to) blocks another server (say, gab.com), then you cannot follow any user who is in the blocked server (IIRC).

@ArtisticAlexis @mstine So in Mastodon, you can follow accounts across servers; meaning that if you are on mas.to you can follow someone on mstdn.social.
However, in whatever Mastodon app you use there should be a tab (say) called Local Timeline. This shows you activity in your own server. So your Local Timeline is only going to show posts from users on mas.to.
