The toot.cat instance seems to be down :(
Hey all, I’m on the toot.cat instance now as well! May migrate over there entirely, we’ll see.
Anyone know anything about counter.social?
Big picture: is banning entire country IP blocks a good approach to moderation?
Small picture: I keep getting a 500 Internal Server Error when I try to DM my friend there.
Thinking of joining the toot.cat instance or tenforward.social — but I feel like I can’t constantly rebuild my follow list so I want to be sure about which instance I’m joining... probably overthinking it.
"I'm not using singular they! The APA says not to"
"The APA isn't the boss of you. And actually it says singular they is fine"
"Okay, well, um... the OED says not to"
"The OED is also not the boss of you. And actually it also says it's fine"
"Okay, but... um... I..."

So discussing poverty and putting off fixing household things with a few people because you can't afford it, and @nico suggested setting up something where people who have the ability can do repairs and maintenance and stuff for those who can't otherwise afford it. Use the hashtag #fixmystuff if you have services you can offer - tools, knowledge, skill - or if you have something you need fixed. Don't forget to mention your general worldly location too! ^.^

actually the thing about mastodon that keeps hitting me is that it's a return to the governance model of the internet of the 90s, which is the "local dictator", with a single admin or a small mod team who are the sole owners and operators of a site. and like, oh right, anybody who's only used, say, twitter and facebook and youtube and tumblr and myspace and so forth and so on would have had absolutely no exposure to, because all major social media platforms online for the past ten years or so have been huge corporate monoliths (or wannabe huge corporate monoliths). getting mad at brad on livejournal was a very different thing than getting mad at jack on twitter or david karp on tumblr, because lj was brad's site in a way that was very different from jack being CEO of twitter

Cuz, I mean, it seems like people are on very specific instances of which there appear to be a large number
Mastodon, can you explain to me why I should care about instances? Is it about whose toots I’m seeing?
Hey all,
I just released a game that some of you might be interested in that is about emotional labour & care. I often make games that are a combination of physical & digital. This is a digital port of one of those games.
Here’s a new trailer for “rustle your leaves to me softly” by me and @squinky
