"I used Mastodon once and now I'm a French Socialist"
things are going suspiciously well.
mom: hey son I joined this new Mastodon thing
me: oh shit mom, I coulda helped you find a server, which one did you choose?
mom: well I liked the privacy policy on satanic.bikerladi.es but then communist.blaze.party had the shortest ping latency so
started doing a super boring python tutorial but then realised i'd forget all of it before i need to use it anyway... postponed.
2007: twitter.com
2017: bingus.planet, gay.water.source
i weep for all the dank content on Twitter that hasn't been cross-posted to Mastodon https://twitter.com/dasharez0ne/status/850080019019735040
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.
Oh my god guys, I just noticed that if you set your toot to be unlisted instead of public, the button says TOOT instead of TOOT! (Note the !) https://mastodon.social/media/nkT8XJ8bD8v7SkikDeo https://mastodon.social/media/U9rWUIi7YpcIVkYiFmA
