if you've ever messed up a dimension or a hole position on something you're building, don't be too hard on yourself.

at least you're not the Cisco design engineer who caused an entire product line recall by placing the mode button (which resets the switch if held) directly above an RJ45 port.

I have been enjoying the phenomenon on tunblr known as the fake movie Goncharov (1973) so i made these fake “art studies” of some apparently famous scenes of Katya. #art #MastoArt #CreativeToots #goncharov

I do not like that this needs to exist, but I'mma boost it until it's not. Do likewise, as you will.

My first Toot is one for #Mosstodon - mossy islands in Wytham Woods

GoToSocial is getting a ton of attention lately. So I just wanna reiterate that if you're using GtS, you're using alpha software that has many features not yet implemented, and is chocka with bugs. We're quite proud of how the alpha development phase is going so far, but we make no guarantees whatsoever about stability, data loss, performance, etc etc. You use alpha software at your own risk.

There are many things you can do in Mastodon (and mastodon clients) which will 404 on GtS because they're simply not implemented yet. We are aware of what these are, and they're documented both in the roadmap document and in the faq in the docs. We're currently revising the roadmap document for the next year, so we'll have an updated version to share soon (tm).

Opening issues about features that we've yet to implement will not get them finished any faster: if anything, it will be slower because we then have to deal with answering issues. It is especially unwelcome to comment 'where is x feature' on an unrelated PR / issue. The cake is in the oven and it's not ready to eat yet, so stop asking if you can stick your fingers in it.

The team managing PRs and development and admin and planning and triage and releases and offering help in the help channels is 4 people, only one of whom (tobi) currently works full time on the project. While we're very open to PRs, feedback, and collaboration, we are also essentially just weirdos who like to be left alone to tinker with code, cuddle cats and dogs, and listen to music. This is home grown, open source software which started as a hobby project. Not a big company with support staff. Please be mindful of this when you're asking for support!

If you want to recommend GoToSocial to people, thank you, your enthusiasm is very appreciated! But please accompany your recommendation with the provisos I mentioned here, so that people's expectations are set appropriately. We don't want anyone to come to the software expecting miracles and ending up disappointed.

Phew, thank you for reading ❤️!

(Repost from old server)

Once at Christmas time, the laird had promised his guests good hunting. He paid a local woman, Nancy Scott, sixpence for the location of a rare white hare.

But when the party gave chase, the hare led them a merry dance, finally escaping the jaws of a hound straight into Nancy's cottage.

On entering, the laird found Nancy out of breath, nursing a bleeding heel, but no hare to be seen.

the best parts of american culture are formed primarily by indigenous and black peoples. so i'd like to share, on this so called black friday, the story of Monk Montgomery. this incredible artist was a true pioneer. a skilled hand on the double bass, he was one of the first bass players to adopt the new electric models when Lionel Hampton handed him a fender precision bass guitar. he was the first electric bassist ever recorded (Mau Mau by the Art Farmer Septet, available for online listening). he made his own felt plectrums, maybe the first to use plectrums on bass at all tho i don't know for sure, and he was the first to play lead bass in his solo albums, about 6 years before Jaco Pastorius popularized the form. Monk Montgomery deserves to be remembered. and i recommend checking out his album "Reality"! it's beautiful.

I've created a small, incomplete, list of instances with moderators of color.

The list and suggestions became to much to keep up on my own, so here is a Google document, https://docs.google.com/document/d/12pTmSMpq8lMYyYlHT25DgTmdMmE6ysUyRHGiq-E4XdQ/edit?usp=sharingp

Here's how to move accounts and take your followers with you https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

What are Content Warnings, on Mastodon?

What do we mean when we say please CW that?

And why might it matter for low energy people?
