I accidentally gave my self credit in my bullet journal yesterday for something I didn't do and it's going to haunt me for the rest of April

follow bots suck because:
1. they follow everyone, which means your users get zero choice who to federate with at all
2. they follow everyone, which means if people want private toots to not be seen by everyone running a follow bot they have to block all of them
3. they follow everyone, even private accounts, and they have no memory of who they previously tried to follow, meaning they'll follow people over and over and over

4. they remind me of those birdsite BUY FREE FOLLOWERS spambots

Well this is new. Woke up with super dry, red, and puffy skin under my eyes. I look like I've been through the wringer... thank God for makeup.

Folks worrying about instances just up and shutting down because someone got in over their head don't understand how many BBSes I opened and closed over the years.

It'll happen. It's not the end of the world. It does suck. It doesn't suck forever unless you give up.

If an instance you're on closes shop, you can and will find another if you want one. Go easy on the poor soul who had to end a dream.

LB: the whole point is NOT that people literally want to be unaware of what's going on in the world / politics.

but when you are feeling depressed, overwhelmed, and out of control because you're so afraid and sad about the world, it's nice to have a place you can go to chill out and take your mind off it, that doesn't throw all those things in your face every 5 seconds. Hence the content warning insistence.

IT'S EASY FOR YOU (one click), and can be invaluable to somebody else's mental health

oh my god I said the forbidden word

I said tweets

I know we're all nice here so is it bad if I wanna block all the dudes who reply to my joke tweets with their own bad jokes

Ultimately Mastodon's killer feature is that it's a public good that someone built because they thought it needed to exist and not a startup someone built because they wanted to get rich quick selling other people's data.
