IF YOU BOOST THIS IN 10 SECONDS YOU WILL HAVE AN IMAGE OF A CAT ON YOUR PROFILE!! NOT A JOKE I JUST TRIED IT IT WORKS

@Maverynthia @Mentalina basically, unlisted just won't show up on local and federated timeline but can still be boosted and seen on your individual profile. Private is followers only, no boosts allowed. Direct is well, you know 😁

INTRO TO FEDERATION:

1. "mastodon" is a piece of software that runs on a server. There's a lot of servers that run it & u can follow ppl on other servers.

2. When u follow someone from another server, your server receives their toots.

3. The federated TL is all public toots that the server receives, ie all of the toots from everyone that ppl on your server follow.

4. ERGO: if u want to see more toots in the fed TL, follow + get other ppl on your server to follow ppl from other servers!

I am the Mastodon of my own Domain.

i'm not sure if i'm disgusted or delighted that in this era where social media is often more significant than traditional news outlets, the two words that post the microblogs that have the power to literally change the balance of power between nations across the globe

are "tweet" and "toot"

If I had a dime for every time a client made it hard for me to get paid... oh wait

#introductions i am a being of pure Cyber, do not try to do your meat things like Shake my hand,, or Kiss me, it will not work

Just realized that if I run my own instance, Ada can safely take part before she's 13. No need to worry about COPPA since I am the parent.

empathy, please

@mentalina To prevent misconceptions, now we still can, it's not truly decentralized; it's federated. Small detail, but the difference may help new users to understand it better. Nonetheless, less centralization == yay!

Senate Joint Resolution 34 (which was just signed into law) isn't just putting your "browser history" at risk; it's a LOT more. I read and analyzed the preamble to the FCC "Protecting the Privacy of Customers of Broadband and Other Telecommunications Services ".
