I've done the "alternative Twitter" before and it never worked out. How do I do it better this time?

Where all the #goth kids at?

When Twitter was young I used to love reading the global timeline, and now I'm enjoying doing that again with the Toot Kidz.

awoo

I feel like I need to keep tooting or I'll forget to ever toot again.

Is there a way to filter by language in Tootdon? I’m dumb so I only speak English.

I now have an instance up and running dedicated to the crew over at #TheCabin. I don't know if anybody will use it, and most cabiners haven't even heard of Mastodon. But I'm trying to do my part. https://toot.thecabin.chat/about

Pondering the idea of running my own Mastodon instance. Maybe if I put some effort into the platform I'll be more invested?

Omaha: Tonight is the opening party for the final #BigOmaha and is open to the public. That means if you show up we can hang out, and I’d like to see you again/meet you for the first time/drink with strangers.

Still on the lookout for a native macOS Mastodon client. I think if use have a client, and not a web page, I'll use it more often (and won't forget about it). If anybody has any suggestions, let me know!

I'm finding it hard to use Twitter and Mastodon at the same time. Just so much stuff to keep up with.

Alice Glass just released a video for her new EP that I didn't even know about. I'm going to check it out. https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2018/01/alice-glass-debuts-forgiveness-video.html

If you're looking to join an instance that focuses on music and music services check out Listen Gallery. https://listen.gallery. It was created by person behind the Rdio Lovers Slack, where the fans of the Rdio music streaming service hang out (https://rdioloversslackin.herokuapp.com/).

Mastodon UI question: Is there a way to reorder the columns?

I love that on Mastodon nobody mentioned the Slack outage. I want to be more like all of you. Let's be friends.

So it seems like there are no real (native) macOS clients for Mastodon. I'd be interested in starting a project to build one, but I don't know what the demand would be. And with all the "Mastodon is dead" articles I'm not sure if that's something that's a good long-term time investment.

Wow, the new episode of Star Trek Discovery. Wow.

I'm watching "mother!" and I know everybody hated it, but I love how fucked up it is. Totally my kind of movie.
