There are till tickets available too!

I should do a proper #intro shouldn't I? Hi, I'm Wren! I'm the creative director of indie game Unpacking, a pixel artist and UX/UI designer. I also like arts & crafts, singing, and languages!

Now the way the Internet Archive is doing mastodon is how more organisations and celebs should be joining the fediverse!

They have a dedicated in house instance, which lets you identify official staff, and gives them control and security over their content, whilst also allowing people and instances to opt in or out of interacting with them

Kudos for doing it right @internetarchive!

What’s going on in the fediverse feels a lot like what happens when liberals run into actual leftists.

Hi everyone,

there are a number of people in this category who want to migrate to Mastodon and have questions about safety, security, etc. Are there any resources that you recommend?

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like it's gigantic and destroying the town.

Noodling around with ideas for a micro-city builder #pixelart

The part I keep laughing at about Twitter is how the dude could have just done nothing, and it would have been fine, but we ALL knew he was going to make awful decisions that would result in catastrophe for the platform.

2022 has been shit but we got a gem in the end.

I didn't wanna post it at first cuz it's schoolwork, but I did spend like 60 hours on this assignment in total so I'm gonna be proud of it openly! so here's my final drawing for one of the assignments in uni which had kept me up until 3 or 4 a.m. every night for the last week

My number one recommendation to all new (and old) fediverse server administrators is: make your registrations closed, however your software allows for it. For Mastodon I think "registration with a review step" is the minimum level you should be locked down. Open-registration instances are

1) going to get overwhelmed with computing needs
2) likely to break down socially, you have no guarantee that the people signing up are a good fit for your existing people
3) going to host spammers

Yes, that seems like a perfectly cromulent number of containers to be running.

no, he's not living in my head rent-free. he paid 44B for the privilege.

so a twitter blue verified account tweeting about insulin becoming free actually crashes that companies stocks significantly, apparently even taking the other insulin manufacturers stocks down with them

i am actually starting to like this new twitter 👍

safe to say people have started finding GoToSocial

#FediTips Sealioning disguises itself as earnest curiosity. No matter how sincere you may be about wanting to learn about what someone else is going through, you're contending with all the countless sealions who poisoned that well long ahead of you. It's only natural that someone, especially someone from those marginalized groups who bear the brunt of that abuse, would turn down or push against the risk you may be asking them to take on.

If you're annoyed with all of the fossbro and cryptobro apologists in your mentions, imagine how it must feel to have far worse people nagging you over your lived experiences, never mind over your neurology or skin color.

In January of this year I worked on a little #GodotEngine prototype and tried to pitch it ❄️🚗

The project was codenamed #AShortDelivery

I didn't get picked up, but I'll post about it sometime soon :) #GameDev #PixelArt #MastoArt
