"Mister Gorbachev, tear down this wall" but it's Fran Drescher.
Good morning, uh, mastos
My band is preparing its first album, so it's time to make sure we're sure about our name. Would you listen to an alt-rock band called The Board?

*extremely CNN voice* move over "tide pods", a new fad has taken over today's youth and it's called "tooting"
I just remembered how in my first few months as a tech journalist I found myself interviewing Chuck D and got to quote him as saying digital rights management is "just a lot of fucked-up shit" https://www.zdnet.com/article/chuck-d-lays-down-the-law-on-drm/

If all the lefties come here and the rightwingers go to Gab then does Twitter end up as the centrist site?
Argh there's an amp for sale that I want to buy but I'm on a music-equipment-buying ban until the end of the year (for good reason)

French state seems to be opening its own instance on Mastodon. https://amicale.net/users/DINSIC/updates/148

What happens to our profiles, people followed and posts if a #Mastodon Instance dies?
We've seen this happen earlier when an Instance lost its data and there were no backups. I think the backup issue is being handled by most #Admins now.
But say an Admin dies expectantly and they are a sole Admin of their Instance? Where does this leave others?
Maybe there should be some "buddy system" in place between Admins? Other ideas?
