@pixouls I just remind them I was around when pogs were a thing to begin with, then put them to sleep with an etymological lecture if they argue
@danbruno see cool bugs? my man, I am a cool bug

i already said this but if youre going to do a long thread or a long post, consider cw'ing it just so that the posts don't clog up the tl's.
there isn't a 'show this thread' like on twitter
where things collapse
@silverseams@mastodon.art Out of curiosity, what do you use for tagging? I could really benefit from keeping my references in order
@lyds oh god what did I do to warrant this being dug up
@silverseams@mastodon.art eeee! I'll be sure to keep an eye out!
silly meta observation
plus I very rarely make public posts here either, mostly unlisted. maybe that should change as I dig back into things
silly meta observation
me boosting all these posts for new folks even though I'm pretty sure nobody's going to be following me after moving here since I left twitter six+ years ago already

FYI for newbies
Twitter has algorithms to get you engaged. Mastodon does not. So in order to enjoy Mastodon you have to take some time to reach out and find content and follow folks that you enjoy. Don't expect Mastodon to send you random popular posts to keep you engaged, you have to curate your own feed. But this is good! It gives you control.
@silverseams@mastodon.art Frieeeends 
I never realized how much I needed a rosy maple dragon in my life
@silverseams@mastodon.art Imagining moth dragons now... 
@welshpixie @Zaz Cheers! Glad to have you aboard along with everyone else joining! Let us all make beautiful things happen together

if i ever see any of you in public, the code is "i like your shoelaces"
that way we know we're from mastodon without revealing anything
im just going to say this to strangers until i find a mastodon person

fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
boosts != endorsements is such a weak cop-out tbh
@f0x Yeah, I may boost without thinking sometimes but I accept responsibility for that and try my best to go and check the person's vibes, especially when I notice comments after the fact that weren't visible because of our very thorough suspend list
Say, I wonder how much info about replies is actually relayed back to the server, to see if there is a way to add "Reply from suspended account/instance" placeholders to a thread
@codl I suppose that's what the groups feature could theoretically address but it's also terribly implemented and pushes homogenization into spaces that pride themselves on distinction

Oh Blizzard made an announcement.
The announcement is not important. What is important is, yet again, the timing is deliberate. This time Facebook execs are being accused of taking favors to try to squash news coverage of Blizzard.
Every. Announcement. Hides. A. Scandal.

Hoping everyone fleeing from Twitter can find the community they want here, and that it can be a bit safer from the rot of capitalism for them. https://botsin.space/media/9FSgumIh3mMW85P_n9w
twitter, social media dystopia, also racism
@shahaan@eldritch.cafe yeah, I saw the writing on the wall years ago when they neutered the API to force people to use the first-party software. Left and never looked back, and I've only been continuing to be proven it was the right decision since
People talking then and still do about how they stick to twitter to "build their brand" like, is that really how you want to live? Really?
People who cite the fediverse's antiblackness problem though I get. Shit sucks, we need to work on that, but really, it isn't exclusive, the Algorithm just usually segregates the fuck outta things
