@vinaikopp @Flyingmana it's /invites off of your main URL

@vinaikopp @mageos yeah I’m not really into the PHP focus. I have enough tech in my day job. We’ll see how it pans out.

@vinaikopp I’m regretting not getting into mastodon.social while it was available. Where I am now is crickets on my local timeline. Have looked around for a larger server but many of the big ones are spammy.

@amacregor Hello and welcome!

Any idea how to turn off the auto refresh in my timeline? It's a firehose of content that is impossible to follow #mastodonnewbie

Here’s an idea: let’s call people “people” on the fediverse instead of “users” whenever we can.

Compare:

“There are 42 users on this instance.”

vs

“There are 42 people on this instance.”

Which acknowledges our humanity more?

Language matters. We don’t need to perpetuate mainstream technology’s othering/colonial framing of “us” – designers/developers/other “clever folks” – and “them” – the users (usually one step removed from “dumb user” and usually the ones who get used).

#peopleNotUsers

I don't think Mastodon or the fediverse has ever received this much attention before. It's a great opportunity for people to finally see that social media can be done differently, that it can be a protocol not under control of any single company.

Every Mastodon explanation is like "It's very simple, your account is part of a kerflunk, and each kerflunk can talk to each other as part of a bumblurt. At the moment everyone you flurgle can see your bloops but only people IN your kerflunk can quark your nerps. Kinda like email."

Happy #caturday to all the #catsofmastodon!

@kboyd @syntaxseed Essentially shareholder value is the only metric by which US corporations are measured anymore, or at least the only metric that matters, so I'm not surprised they sold.

Where is my #magento community?
