In about an hour I will be holding the longest talk in front of simultaneously the smallest and highest amount of people of my life so far.
It’s about building less inaccessible web sites.

Missed connection: looking for a local blonde woman who frequents the Tesco garage. You caught me sucking on your car exhaust when you left your motor running while you used the cash machine. Sorry I got so nervous I ran away but I'd love to get to know you better

Happy Solstice!

I went to the supermarket just to enjoy some air-conditioning. Pretending to browse everything is quite boring so reading toots instead. #Itstoohot #Phonezombie
RT @AdamBienkov@twitter.com: The Evening Standard has secretly agreed a £3 million deal with companies, including Uber and Google, to provide them with “favourable” news coverage, without telling readers. https://www.opendemocracy.net/uk/james-cusick/george-osborne-s-london-evening-standard-promises-positive-news-coverage-to-uber-goo

So, let's talk instance size vs instance culture!
If you're not on one of the >50k instances: How do you deal with new users?
If you're on an instance with one or two major topics: how do you deal with new users who chose your instance randomly and aren't all that much into your topics?
Mastodon doesn't really have a way to introduce new users to the instance, and to help them integrate with their new instance's culture, rules, and maybe topics (if applicable). A welcome message could help …
As announced I've done some research in the distribution of our mastodon instances regarding the network (AS) they use.
The top five countries with mastodon instances:
- 36 GB
- 356 DE
- 786 FR
- 810 JP
- 1284 US
