technical note about this tech as I see some confusion/misconceptions:

Admins of your instance have complete control over your account. Really, we can read all the posts (including DMs) and we can even impersonate/hack your account with ease.

Make sure you trust your admins.

Here on toot.cat we have a CoC that applies to both admins and non admins. Admins are expected to abide by the CoC and not oppress users as well.

whining about french on mastodon is just modern imperialism

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!

it's all fun and games until an ai bootstraps itself and turns the whole solar system into mastodon computronium

AUGH i accidentally did a birdsite

hold up

is the mastodon icon a play on "timeline goes sideways" because holy shit https://mastodon.social/media/BOparaJcut5wDPFvlBM

Today has been one hell of a day! I have been working on both devops and code optimization non-stop, as well as answering questions and e-mails. A lot of ms have been shaved off of requests and background jobs. Instance admins should probably update to the latest master. I'll be looking into adopting a more stable release system than just the master branch.

Oh also, I did read that "Mastodon will go extinct" article. The author doesn't get it, and didn't reach out to me at all.

Rounding up all my friends for this federated tooting thing. It's like the United Federation of Tooters.

Can I get some folks to share my pro-bono offer?

I will set an org up with their own #mastodon installation, see my post for details:

@jwithy Ideally the client would be able to dedupe things, but yeah, then lots of extra data being sent around.

I would like to set up my own instance eventually tho, and it seems like more instances = better for the community. So, maybe at least some way of transferring ownership of an account and all its history to a new instance would be enough?

Please sign my petition to invite Deray, Bree, and Netta to Mastodon

It's nice that mastodon is supported by a large corporate sponsor but having a button dedicated to The CW is a bit much.
