I actually have accounts on multiple #Mastodon instances, with each account focusing on a different topic. I'm a #Rubyist, but I'm also a #cybersecurity consultant, a business owner, train service dogs, run a non-profit, sit on several boards, and write a lot. Oh, and I'm a gamer, too.
I separate accounts to keep my feeds relatively topical. It says something nice about the #RubyLang community that about 80% of my total #fediverse followers are on #rubysocial.
Thank you all for engaging!
Since I'm on a roll, how come infosec.exchange allows posts of up to 10k characters but #rubysocial only gives me 500? Not all things programming can be expressed in a ½ kilo of chars.
And OMG do I wish this instance supported #CommonMark and an easier way to escape octothorpes when discussing #RubyLang methods! Writing methods as :foo instead of \#foo or `#foo` just seems cumbersome, and the latter two show up as hash tags anyway!
I'm boosting my post from my main account here on #RubySocial because I think this is a problem all programmers deal with at some point, even if they aren't part of shops that do #Scrum. PMSE gets a lot of posts like this one, and I think all the software people I know can relate!
@csara @sajack Welcome to #RubySocial, Sara! I'm always happy to follow fellow Rubyists. I don't do as much RoR as I used to; in fact, I wish more companies did real #RubyLang and #RubyGems development rather than just focusing on the web frameworks that non-tech folks think are synonymous. 🙂
Since a lot of #Rubyists use #macOS, I thought I'd ask this on #rubysocial too.
P.S. I wish #mastodon supported "boost with comment" even if I understand why they don't.
