@fuzzychef I've thought the exact same thing. Impressive.
Hmmm… Mastodon makes me think of social media from 10+ years ago. Let’s do #WriterWednesday
Writers I follow who are here, off the top of my head: @JacquiCastle @Ken_McConnell @johngreen @stephenfry @scalzi @kevinhearne @neilhimself
I’m sure I missed people, my apologies. I’ll do better next time. :)

After the dotcom bust 20 years ago, there was a shift away from attempts to turn the Internet into a portal owned by a single company (AOL, Yahoo, etc) using incompatible and proprietary tech, in favor of open standards.
This spawned a heydey for things like self-hosted blogs, RSS and XMPP powered by Linux. People rejected lock-in and embraced the benefits and freedom open standards brought. Even Big Tech embraced these standards.
It’s time. Delete your Twitter DMs

@mortendk I particularly enjoyed the part where @shawnp0wers reminded me and @kyle that we are HUGE nerds. 🤣
@mortendk it is. You should be able to find Reality 2.0 in any app.

Can we get eco sister http://www.twitter.com/hiitaylorblake on here? Emmanuel the Emu's bird flu recovery is really the only reason I need to check Twitter anymore.
Who keeps you checking Twitter?
@carlie I was thinking the exact same thing.
@shawnp0wers how’d that 🦣 upgrade go? 🦝 <— lol, a raccoon comes up for “curious”
@mortendk no pressure. 😂
@mortendk @shawnp0wers Shawn and I did a podcast about Hugo, so I feel like we need to talk to you next. Wanna come talk to us? Nerd out?
@mortendk I must try this! Also @shawnp0wers , check it out. I feel another podcast coming on. lol
@kashhill What I would really love to see is media outlets like The NY Times and others start their own Mastodon instances so affiliated journalists could share the known domain name. It makes the whole idea of verification so much simpler. If I see kashhill[at]nytimes.social or something else easily verifiable, it’s an easier clue than figuring out any blue check shenanigans.
@kashhill I am very glad to see it! I have high hopes for this thing. It warms my heart to see the more independent web go more mainstream. 😁
