Who’d have guessed Elon Musk would pay $44 billion to promote Mastodon.

I’m just now realizing I should do an #introduction on here!

I’m Natalie. I’m a #Drupal developer. My comfort zone has always been theming, site building, & content architecture, but I’ve been doing a lot more backend stuff recently. It’s fun! But there is still so much for me to learn! When I’m not busy with work stuff, I enjoy dabbling in #genealogy. Speaking of family, a large chunk of my dad’s side is in #Ukraine , so do not be surprised if you see me toot about Ukraine

I recorded this episode of @reality2cast back in April with @shawnp0wers and @kyle about making the move from Twitter to the fediverse with Mastodon and I think it’s all still relevant. It’s a fun and nerdy chat you can check out here: reality2cast.com/109 🤓🎙️

Politics 

@starshaped I decided to give the Hobonichi weeks planner a try because the size seemed perfect for portability, and holy wow is the paper awesome. Kind of mind blowing. I got the mega, which I may or may not even need, but it’s still not that thick. Amazing.

If you're running a mastodon server, and you want advice on scaling the PostgreSQL component, for a limited time I'll provide a couple hours of free consulting*. After that I'll refer you off to folks who can help for $$$. DM me.

I hear some instances have an edit feature. I only have "delete & re-draft," so I mostly just live with my typos. 🤷

This post on by @dsearls is getting a lot of nice attention, but I’d love to see more comments and feedback. I’ve also enabled the chat feature, and I’m curious to see if that will encourage some discussion. reality2.substack.com/p/the-di

@purism Is there a way to show a "bounce" message or something for people trying to DM someone on social.librem.one from another instance?

I can't receive DMs because they are disabled on the instance I'm on, but if you send me one, there is no way for you to know this. SO, I'm NOT ignoring you. I just don't see them. :)

Tomorrow 11/2 at 11:30AM EDT: I'm joining a panel of experts in DPI (Digital Public Infrastructure) for some lively discussion around and frontiersdigitaldevforum.com/a

A tip for those who haven't seen this yet. has its own "" system. Adding a link to your Mastodon profile from your website using the rel="me" attribute will that the owner of both the site and profile are the same, and you get this nifty green highlight to show it.

I am looking for more moderators for mastodon.social. Please e-mail staff@mastodon.social if you are interested, but please only apply if you have consistently been here for a while.
