It's the weekend, baby
#startrek

The whole idea of the town square is that it belongs to the town. No one should be able to buy it. And honestly, they can’t.

Twitter isn’t really the town square, any more than Facebook is or MySpace was.

We are the town square. It goes where we go. No one can buy that.

Thank you for following me!!! I don’t know how verification works, so I’m just going to put on a completely unretouched photo from the photos in my damn iPhone. I mean, I’m the only one who has those. :)

As it turns out, Elon is to the Fediverse what Oprah was to Twitter in 2009.

Oprah inspired millions to join Twitter.

Elon inspired millions to join the Fediverse.

Both celebrities inspire the masses to adopt new innovative technology 🤩

It is #WorldVeganDay!

I am in the best shape of my life on a mostly* vegan diet.

* Husband occasionally uses butter and eggs. I will eat fish when Michelin star restaurant chefs lack the creativity to serve me.

#Suggestion: Point #TwitterMigration to the Fediverse so not everyone is flocking to a Mastodon instance.

You see, the network is the #Fediverse, the underlying tech is #ActivityPub (which is a #WebStandard).

Mastodon is, but one of many flavours connected to the Fediverse network. There is no “Mastodon network” or "Pleroma network” or “MissKey network”, they are all “Fediverse network”.

Promote the Fediverse. That is what who we are.

To people that joined Mastodon recently, we deeply advice to follow @feditips

You will get tips, information and accounts that deserve to be followed on the Fediverse.

You know the #fediverse isn’t just #Mastodon, right? :)

Do you live stream? Check out https://owncast.online

It’s a lightweight free and open live-steaming server. (We use it at Small Technology Foundation for our streams at https://owncast.small-web.org)

And you can follow people’s Owncast servers from the fediverse and get notified when they’re about to start streaming, etc. (e.g., hit the follow button on our stream and enter your Mastodon/fediverse account)

"When you don't create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than your ability. Your tastes only narrow & exclude people. So create."

- Why The Lucky Stiff

I like how on Mastodon the racists, trolls, misogynists, and right wing conspiracy theorists helpfully cluster themselves on servers together. When one hops in your mentions, a simple domain block stops them all with one tap.

Welcome to all the new users fleeing the bird site. I think this article sums up Elon's hobson's choice right now. tl;dr it's not going to go well.
