This instance is Black owned and Black operated. It is Black Twitter on the Fediverse https://blacktwitter.io/about #BlackTwitter
Super pumped to hear that the new #smarthome standard Matter is "officially official" and that devices are starting to launch for it. Can't wait to start seeing what comes out. 🎉
You may be aware that there is something called the #Fediverse.
But do you know about all the different types of applications that run on the Fediverse?
I made this visual to give myself and others something to point at when explaining "the big picture".
You may be surprised by how many services beyond Mastodon there are to explore.
Download it for free here and use as you please:

That post also has links to all the different applications.
I legitimately forgot it was Monday until I got the notification about #MNF
Anyways go Amari Cooper sorry you're still on the Browns

I’m new to @Mastodon, trying it out, seeing who to follow. Recommendations appreciated. Interested in #Digital and passionate about #WomenInDigital #WomenInTech
Very heartening to see the mass of #academics coming here from in the great #twittermigration. FWIW there are a few academics based instances here in the Fediverse, I'll try to link to them. The one I can think of off the top of my head is https://hci.social/about
Amplifying for reach.
Can someone help answer these accessibility questions for new Mastodon users?
This is pretty important, and will affect if I can keep recommending Mastodon as a platform.
Even if you run your own instance, like I do, you have no #privacy on the #fediverse.
Only I get to read the direct messages received at my instance but I have no control over who sees the direct messages I send to other instances.
So, again, until end-to-end encryption is mandated by the core protocol (ActivityPub), remember:
Treat all posts on #mastodon / the fediverse as public and use an end-to-end encrypted messaging app like Signal if you want to have private conversations with people.

Found this toot again now after changing jobs. Very disappointed to say I'm at a React shop instead of working with #webcomponents but no job is perfect 🤷♂️
That said I am very much in the job position of making developer work go faster 🔥
FWIW I'm on Librem's branded social services because I want to know that I'm paying someone to host my account (and I wasn't on Patreon when I set this account up). It's definitely a smaller server so I don't see many issues here. That said if anyone knows of a Philly/PA based local instance that is being run I would be interested and might migrate there (willing to chip in $ too!)
Hugops for @Gargron and the team with all the new users signing up!
