I swear to God, your allyship is useful in holding politicians and corporations accountable for messing with accessibility laws and policies.

It is *not* useful in policing how disabled people use assistive devices.

Please, mind your priorities.

Since the free #Twitter API dies in a week, I went through one last round of "finding people I followed" using Debirdify https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/

Hey, if today's Twitter nonsense made you decide it was time to come over to Mastodon and you're thinking "holy crap, it's slow!"

Yes, it is - it's happened with every big wave, and the admins have gotten it sorted out quickly, so be patient, things will speed up.

And welcome!

#TwitterMigration

Every time the birdsite has a new disaster this place gets a bit filled up with chatter about it, which is probably not the content and first impression new users are looking for. So in the spirit of breaking that up, here is my dog in a hot dog costume 🐕 #dogs #DogsOfMastodon

@thomasfuchs https://pilotredsun.bandcamp.com/album/achievement They make some great music. Warsaw is one of my favorites! #Bandcamp #Music #MusicEveryday

#mastocats

@thevglibrary Cool, never heard of those, I’ve played the game though.

@Alikat747 Is that The Great Deku Tree?! #LegendofZelda

@quintessence When I first joined #Mastodon, I thought it was official! I was ready to block it, but then I realized it just a parody account! 😅

We've got #FollowFriday and #ThrowbackThursday but how about the other days of the week. Here's a few suggestions:

#ShoutOutSaturday : Send out a shoutout to someone deserving
#SupportSunday : Help someone out
#MastodonMonday : Celebrate this place
#ThinkingTuesday : Share some original thought. Start a discussion.
#WeirdnessWednesday : Let's bring some unexpected joy back every week.

@rperez Advanced Interface with slow mode so timelines aren’t scrolling super fast!

@LordArse 1972, wow! #Pong and #gaming as a whole have come a long way! #RetroGaming #RetroGames

@barongreenbacks The official #Mastodon site has one!

@metabolist Take all the time you need, hope health improves! You’ve done a great job with the app!

Unfortunately I have to stop actively working on #Metatext for a while due to health issues. I really wish I could implement Mastodon 4 features and squash every bug, but it's not possible for me to do so right now.

I know the app has become important to a lot people, so I'm open to a new maintainer who can carry on its values of privacy and accessibility taking it over if there's interest and a fit. Email info@metabolist.org if you (or your organization) are interested

@OnlyTheJaneway Hope they make a #StarTrek Janeway live action series! #StarTrekVoyager

@lancetay Looks familiar!

Interesting note: adding hashtags in an edit will *not* add that post to someone's hashtag feed (and probably also not into their timeline if they follow a hashtag). #feditips

@tac I've seen people call it Masto for short, but Mast probably works too!

@Hastor Oh yeah, I better get that checked out. Thanks for the advice!
