If I never receive such a notification from Mastodon, this experiment shall have proved its worth.

@PolymerWitch Yes. This.

I'm trying not to be the guy who's like "Okay fine new social network but what about [interminable request list of increasingly advanced features]" but pastable multimedia is kind of an industry-standard feature now.

@gordon Imzy did this. It was a nice idea. Some hosted means of setting up one's own instance without the technical rigamarole currently required would be nice, too—basically, WordPress.com for Mastodon. There are a lot of people who would want their own instance, but who don't have the tech skills to set one up.

@kurtm Or maybe bots would be required to identify themselves as such, and could be filtered out if needed?

@bcrypt Not everyone—myself included—has the tech skills to spin up a Mastodon instance. I'm on here because it's where everyone else is. I could create my own, but who'd prefer me over the main one? Probably just my friends. It's a choice between basically another Slack channel, and an actual community.

I see the ability to create separate instances as a useful feature for people who aren't being served by mastodon.social, but I don't feel like the main instance is suppressing anything else.

The number of queer users on Mastodon/Imzy is a pretty strong indictment of mainstream social networks—as if the issues with those services weren't public enough already.

I don't judge social networks in terms of Twitter-killers, just as I don't see every new Linux distro as a Mac/Windows-killer. If the goal is to provide a valuable alternative that makes a difference to people, success is not an all-or-nothing matter. This is the culmination of every innovation—when it starts sprouting niches.

What I like about 500 chars: it's long enough that I can express fully formed thoughts, but still preserves the off-the-cuff nature that doesn't require me to observe conventions of a typical article (thesis, wrap-up, etc). Twitter users approximated this with tweetstorms. I never felt comfortable doing that, and it was a convention that I'd hoped Twitter would adapt into an actual feature.

This middle ground between a post and a tweet seems like the optimal format for actually saying stuff.

@phessler (1) create a Twitter account called USAPATRIOT45MAGA

(2) set up a bot/IFTTT script to retweet anything patriotic, Christian, or otherwise satisfactory-sounding

(3) give them that.

Gross, but likely effective.

Well, enough chit-chat. Time to slip into my other account, GET_1000_MAST0D0N_FOLLOW3RS, and start faving/boosting every bloody thing that crosses my path. Somebody's gotta do it

@colon_three I can't imagine a better way of trolling a troll than responding in an outrageously thick Scottish accent, maybe tossing in a few made-up words here and there just to confuse them.

I used to reply to trolls with biblical verses that were not actually in the Bible, vaguely Victorian-sounding outrage (threatening to summon a constable, etc), and insults in Esperanto. Honestly, whatever it was didn't matter—just the fact that I was clearly not taking them seriously drove them nuts.

@KOrionFray Most excellent. President Kennedy will be addressing the nation shortly regarding the latest incursions from Imperial Japan—I expect it should be considerably inspiring. Unfortunately the color television hasn't been invented yet.

Pretty remarkable.

In four years, I've *never* seen a new Pro outside an Apple store. The 1st-gens were everywhere. http://daringfireball.net/2017/04/the _mac_pro_lives

“Sleep well sweet angel, let no fears of ghouls disturb thy rest, for above thy shrouded form lies a torpedo, ready to make minced meat of anyone who attempts to convey you to the pickling vat.”

They just don't write ads the way they used to.
