my good friends, I have finally found a place to call my Mastodon home (until I get my own instance running).

catch me at @nick

DigitalOcean panel has been down for 2+ hours. A lot of people must be tearing their hair out right now.

Okay now that @SwiftOnSecurity is here, the shitposts will reach new heights

@sturmen very true. Still gotta do that research! There's no perfect solution

Shit posts are fine sometimes, but shit toots? Never good.

It's actually really awesome that Mastodon attracted a shitload of users who largely aren't aware that the underlying GNUSocial platform is old.

You know why?

Because it means we can do this over and over.

Every time someone releases a new implementation with different-looking chrome on top, it can go through its own marketing and media cycle and garner new users. *And the network effect will be cumulative.*

What you're referring to as Mastodon, is in fact, GNU social/Mastodon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU social plus Mastodon.

The floppy disk emoji looks super weird because it's the exact same background as the theme on icosahedron.website icosahedron.website/media/V5FX

Correction: it's "Amazon Lightsail" not "AWS Lightsail"

I can't access my DigitalOcean control panel... maybe I should have gone with AWS Lightsail :thinking:

if you have , enable the new spam protection features by dialing '#662#' explore.t-mobile.com/callprote

Maybe Facebook spread their username too thin with 4 implementations of this feature.

I like the Instagram implementation though.

When two Mastodon instances communicate wirelessly, do they do it over Bluetoot?
