@PastaThief @discordiankitty@mastodon.me.uk Heisenbugs are the worst :p
@aral Do keep in mind that not all replies are visible to everybody though, for a variety of reasons related to network issues, instance bans, and privacy settings.

Remember, people are more willing to bring their whole selves to Mastodon.
For example, you may have initially started following someone for their weird bullshit, but don't be surprised that they also choose to share their much weirder bullshit too.
re: fediverse, beginner's guide
@arcade Huh, TIL, didn't know a game with that name existed :p
re: fediverse, beginner's guide
@arcade The... game?
fediverse, beginner's guide
Decided to have a shot at writing a very concise guide to the fediverse, because a lot of the guides are quite long: https://gist.github.com/joepie91/f924e846c24ec7ed82d6d554a7e7c9a8
Hope this is helpful to someone!

Twitter & Musk
WOW. Elon Musk just took a swipe at Mastodon, calling it "Masterbatedon" and making fun of the people here.
A man who just spent $44 BILLION USD is afraid of this service. And he should be. There's no way he can make money off of it.
This is how we take back the internet and our lives, my friends.

Draadje over executive dysfunction
Vandaag ga ik een draadje maken over executive dysfunction, oftewel dat je niks gedaan krijgt omdat je adhd-hersenen haperen.

Signing up to a new social media site with lots of activity and interactions on your content, making new friends and finding new lovely art, can be a big pull.
Take breaks, stay hydrated, do some focused breathing, remember to take your meds, and take care of yourself. 
We'll be here when you get back.

Mastodon has the "Advanced web interface" which looks like the ol' tweetdeck. I don't like the super narrow columns, so I use Stylus (browser extension) to add this little css to make the home column wider:
.column[aria-label=Home] {
width: 650px;
}

twitter, freenode, activism, positive
I'm really quite happy about how many people are recognizing the similarities between the Freenode implosion and the current Twitter shitshow, and how it's helping to inform people on what to do and expect next.
This was kind of a stretch goal for the Freenode thing from an activist perspective; clearly communicating the power dynamics behind the implosion, so that people could learn from it and prevent/mitigate similar situations in other places in the future.
It's always hard to measure whether that sort of thing works, but I think it's safe to say that it has indeed worked in this case! Though I have to admit, I didn't expect Twitter to be the place where it'd become relevant :)

begpost; mutual aid; boosts please; 
would you be so kind and help a black non-binary girl out? 🥺
I need some help to cover my monthly bills while I try to recover some of my mental health so I can spend some more time working/looking for work opportunities. >.<
if you're interested. I can do tarot readings, pixel art, spreadsheets, game design consultancy, translations (en -> pt-br and vice-versa). Contact me and I can offer you some really nice rates for we to work something out.
any and every donation helps but so does boosting so this post can reach more people.

A bunch of questions about this instance yesterday:
- The performance/down issues were part of @mastohost overall network issue; going to "beefier hardware" would not have solved that one.
- Funding for the instance is not an issue.
- However I might be looking for more moderators soon(ish), since that will become non-trivial amount of work.
- If your social media host is down: go outside! Look at the clouds! Feel free! :P
@jfhbrook Oh nah, definitely not! We need *more* instances, not *bigger* instances :p
re: birdsite billonaire, hi my name is elilla& and I have a problem
@elilla Oh yeah that's been a problem on Twitter for many years, incorrect blocklist entries, I'm definitely thinking something more... explosive than that
