So, I guess I'm over here now.

@xleo @davidbragg @Stovak @dejackson Do you want to put it on my Debian server?

Might take some tinkering, but I think Mastodon is fairly simple to install as a standalone instance.

@xleo @davidbragg @Stovak @dejackson Is there anything we can do? Why is it going away?

"We never saw any of this ADHD or autism stuff when I was young!"

You never saw any photos of the surface of Mars back then either, but I'm pretty sure it was still there the whole time

What's the most common way you read novels?

Lest anyone doubt that Twitter was idiotic enough to release code that would cause a race condition and result in its own users executing a DDOS attack on it, here's the network console readout from Firefox showing all the network requests blasting away.

Of course I immediately closed out my connection because I'm a good person.

...but wait! It's the weekend and Evil Sheldon is in control so I kept the party going for a while since Twitter insisted on it.

@karenshancock @ShaulaEvans “Space: 1969” is good.

“Spider Kiss” (Harlan Ellison), “Alien III” (William Gibson), and “Becoming Superman,” (J. Michael Straczynski’s autobiography), all wonderful.

Non-Fiction, “Space Odyssey” (Benson) and “The Dawn of Everything” are also excellent.

Through no one's fault other than my own I have FIVE credits on my Audible account.
Any recommendations?
I have the entire Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams cannon already and various auto biographies.

Twitter folks, there is a way to make Mastodon feel like home more UI wise: #MastodonBirdUI, an interface that resembles the Twitter UI.

Many instances support Mastodon Bird UI (like mstdn.social under the theme "Elephant" in your settings) and you can also use it via browser extension.

@ablackcatstail @davidaugust @Catawu I would say it’s time for U.S. federal agencies to join the #fediverse. My feeling is that people shouldn’t need to rely on third-party commercial social services to easily access important government information. Disclaimer: I work for NOAA, the agency that encompasses the National Weather Service, the National Ocean Service, Fisheries, Research, Satellites... I should add that “opinions are my own.”

Spending Sunday making a lamb tagine and hopefully getting some writing done for the first time in a long time.

Welp, I can't like, comment, post, or DM on the old site. So, please know if you see me silent, I'm okay. I've just been silenced by the free speech police.

Happy to be on a multitude of alternatives with you lovely people!

@RachelSL hi hi hi 👋 😆👍❤️

Reddit has now sufficiently broken their own site that moderators of the blind community's subreddit who are themselves blind can no longer access the moderator tools.

This statement by the mod team is worth a read to understand the full extent of the failure.

Edit: it's also worth noting that this community now has a dedicated Lemmy instance. https://RBlind.com

Edit 2: Here are archived copies of the mod team's post for those who don't want to click a Reddit link.

Who have thought that the big selling point of a social media site would be, "You can see all the posts."

You don't need to use the official Mastodon apps, they're not the best way to use Mastodon. The official apps only arrived last year, and they were intended as "Fisher Price My First Mastodon" things with a restricted set of features.

Third party apps have been around longer than official ones, and include way more features. You can sign in with the same account on all apps.

:android: On Android try Tusky, Fedilab, Megalodon, Tooot

:apple_inc: On iPhone/iPad, try Toot!, Ice Cubes, Ivory, Mona
