@Boudica Six followers! Ha. :)

So here's how to beat Jack D. at his own game: run your own Mastodon server (it's easy).

Instead of "followers" in the usual sense, encourage people to join the Mastodon with an account at your server. Get thousands of accounts and win.

I should try sneaking in "mandatory nap time" into work contracts.

Leaf blowers should be illegal. Get your lazy ass to a rake.

_"... an insistence of distributing money thru jobs "_

Indeed. Why not cut out the middle man called Job?

hmm, threading replies on mastodon doesn't seem to work the same way on twitter, which is interesting

it seems like replying to a boost of a status gets threaded as a reply to the boost and not as a reply to the original status

or maybe this is just a quirk of federation I don't understand

Maybe "talk to" instead of "follow".

How can there be no ads? Because your admins are paying for the servers and run them as a hobby. It's not crazy expensive, but it does take up free time. They still do it because they enjoy the communities that develop. These instances are free with no ads because nice people are running them as a gift for you because they like you. Now, is that better than Facebook's or Twitter's business model or what?

@nielsk I need to build another machine before I get back to BSD.

I think I may have stated that Left/Centrist thing backwards. I've often found PgUp and PgDown "backwards" in operation.

Is "nerd culture" a thing here in Mastodonland? If so, is it good, bad or just sadly quaint?

#whydidyoujoinmastodon I'm looking at self-hosted alternatives to common social media silos.

500 characters might make us more nuanced, conversationalist individuals who are willing to have discussions instead of megaphone soap box debates.

Dear god, could this be Livejournal in tweetable form.

I'm old, ordinary and have no idea how I got here. #introduction
