Friendly notification that I've moved to my own instance. If you follow me here, kindly update to follow @mykola

And again, if you'd like to get on a less general instance - I'm going to try to foster a community of thoughtful weirdos over on my planet, a.weirder.earth. If that sounds like a place where you belong, then join us! :)

I guess why I think about these things is that as a good anarcho-techno-syndicalist (but only on Tuesdays), I often see what happens is that people are very enthusiastic about running their own Linux meshnetworks for freedom, but after a while you kind of want Mark Shuttleworth to do it for you, then Google, then Comcast then, oh shit I'm reading my Facebook at the combination PIzza Hut Taco Bell

Well it looks like mine's not FULLY operational yet, the email pipeline hasn't spun up yet.

So follow me there, and join me in a few days. :)

Hey everyone I'm moving to my own instance - please follow @mykola

Also: If you're looking for an instance that's not bottlenecked, mine is officially open. Come help me make a.weirder.earth even weirder!

Is there a guide to customizing one's own mastodon instance? Not a ruby dev at all - where do I put my own about/more content?

slowly but surely configuring my new instance. I hope you'll all come with me but it's also fine if you don't! :)

Once it's running it'll be just.a.normal.place ;)

What do you call the text that someone reads in a coffee commercial? Show more

Regardless - I appreciate it a lot. :)

I wonder to what extent this is due to an average age difference? Does Mastodon skew younger? Is this just what the world has more or less been like for the adult lives of many of the users here, just turned up a little?

Twitter: The world is literally burning and we are all seriously going to die screaming.

Masotodon: Yep. Do your best! We believe in you! Do you like my art? You have such a great instance domain name!

Did you hear the one about the drill? Show more

For me the hardest part of making a Mastodon bot was figuring out the OAuth dance to get my access token.

Twitter offers a UI that does this for you, so I made one for Mastodon! It works on any instance, but it does require you to run a `curl` command (that it generates for you) at the very end. Hope you find it useful!
