Why is it called "crossposting" and not "tootpaste"?

Yay, @rakulang now lives on #fosstodon!

Over the last few years, I've gotten really obsessed with #rakulang – I really believe it's just about the best language out there for writing #foss (and just an expressive and fun language in general).

So I'm really happy that Raku now has a home on the fediverse right here on our very own #fosstodon :)

I hope you'll join me in giving them a warm welcome!

Babe are you ok? You’ve barely batched your >1000 RPCs

It feels like the goal of the past 20+ years if distributed computing should have been to move the base abstraction away from “server”.

Do we need a "which lasts longer, Twitter or this head of lettuce" tracker at this point?

Hello #OpenSource world! This is OSI's official home in the #Fediverse

Love the idea that @Raspberry_Pi account is hosted on its own instance running on a Raspberry Pi.

Amazing chart on the growth of Mastodon.

Every Mastodon explanation is like "It's very simple, your account is part of a kerflunk, and each kerflunk can talk to each other as part of a bumblurt. At the moment everyone you flurgle can see your bloops but only people IN your kerflunk can quark your nerps. Kinda like email."

Did you know that the European Union had an official Mastodon instance where only official EU institutions could open an account?

No need to pay for a blue checkmark, accounts on this instance are, by definition, officials.

That’s Fediverse done right!

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970's. The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

Perhaps it's time to start calling "Elon's Folly".
