It's WAY worse than you already think it is on Twitter. Please read this thread. Be safe.

New to Mastodon and staring at an empty timeline? I've made ready-to-import follow lists based on a couple of opt-in public directory of semi-/self-vetted Mastodon users. They are #Fedified by @DataDrivenMD and #JournalistsonMastodon by @tchambers.

Just grab the CSV (imported text-only tables) files here:

drive.google.com/drive/folders

Then, in your Mastondon instance, go to:
Settings > Import and Export > Import > Following List + Merge

And upload the CSV file(s). Voila, instant tootstream!

@cooper104 No side effects other than a visible bump of my arm. Get it!

@SaysDana Mastodon is just one implementation of a technology standard called ActivityPub.

The fediverse is a name for all the servers that implement this standard and can communicate with each other.

Your handle is "@ your user name @ your server name" (I can't put an actual one because it gets shortened to just your user name in the Mastodon UI.)

Mastodon will update to 4.0 soon! Here are the most exciting new features (in addition to fixes & changes):

- ability to follow hashtags
- ability to filter by language
- ability to translate posts
- ability to post HEIC files (i.e. your iPhone’s native photo format)
- define user roles (big deal for admins)
- define sign-up process on your Instance (admins again)

See all changes here: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/r

Thanks, @Gargron and @Mastodon Team. #Mastodon4

The Swedish government’s budget bill was officially named “His Royal Majesty's gracious government bill" until 1974.

@kkomaitis Since Mastodon is just software, it doesn't seem like it would qualify as a VLOP. I guess specific server operators running Mastodon might eventually qualify as a VLOP, but given Mastodon software only scales vertically at the moment, that's a ways off.

Elon Musk achieved the impossible: he encouraged competition in microblogging when none existed! Of course that wasn’t his intention but I personally will take competition any way it comes!

tips:

1. Put your fediverse handle in your Twitter bio so tools can help people relocate you.

2. Switch your tweeting habits to post to Mastodon first and use Moa.party to cross-post automatically to your Twitter.

To Twitter migrants complaining about learning how to use the Fediverse—do you forget what it was like to first join Twitter?

Questions that arose back in 2008:

1. What can I possibly say in 140 characters?
2. What is a hashtag, and why does it even exist?
3. How does anyone find anything?
4. Who do I follow?
5. What's a feed?

Twitter came with a learning curve.

Why should #developers be interested in the #Fediverse? I spoke to @darius, who (y'all probably know!) runs a Mastodon instance called Friend Camp, about why developers should experiment with open protocols like ActivityPub & how becoming a hosting provider is a way in. thenewstack.io/why-developers-
