This image from the article is fucking amazing https://www.heise.de/ct/ausgabe/2018-6-Verteiltes-soziales-Netzwerken-mit-der-Twitter-Alternative-Mastodon-3976925.html @eloquence
@Gargron @eloquence IT'S A STAMPEDE!
@Gargron Yeah, the level of detail really makes it adorable.
@Gargron ...it really does, doesn't it?
@Gargron I like how that came out, too. :) It reminds me of https://joinmastodon.org/preview.jpg (and may well have been inspired by it) but it really brings out the instance/federation concepts at the same time.
@eloquence Who's the artist? What's its license?
@Gargron That would be http://www.blaha-arts.de/ - it's under standard copyright, but we might be able to persuade Heise and the artist to release it under a permissive license if we ask nicely. But let's let the dust settle on the article first. :)
@Gargron @eloquence die Artikelbilder bei heise sind schon immer super
@Gargron @eloquence in awe at the size of these lads, the absolute instance.
Yes, this is mastodon \O/ the best way to explain.
I love the word "Ur-Elefant"!
@Gargron I love this so much!!!
@Gargron @eloquence oh no! Elephants are not load bearing animals! Those poor mastodons!!!
@Gargron
Is there any Spanish or English version of the article?
@eloquence
It's uncanny how aptly that picture describes the way Mastodon works (people on Mastodon servers sending each other messages)
