Man I hope We Rate Dogs and Thoughts Of Dog end up migrating over here because honestly that is some of the best content on Twitter.

I'm playing around with some pesos options because posting from Tweesecake is a bit more frictionless, and because some of the content that's relevant to Mastodon is not relevant to micro.blog and vice versa. Let's see how this goes.

We appear to be getting a bonus dumpster fire inside the dumpster fire that is Twitter, because Mellon Tusk has reached the find-out stage of fucking around with microservices. And … It’s going as well as could be expected.

Welp we know Mastodon’s hit the bigtime because "Mastodon Growth Curator" is now a bio that’s appeared in my notifications.

I’m not saying Mastodon wouldn’t benefit from some UI improvements, but I suspect that at least some of the people complaining about how complicated it is weren’t early adopters of Twitter. And by "early adopter", I mean anything before 2010 or so. Trust me, early Twitter was fairly complicated.

Regarding the Fedified project: I’m against its desire to be a centralized verifying authority, but I also recognize that for a lot of Twitter expats, they don’t have a website they control on which to place a link to their Mastodon profile with a rel attribute, and I think those of us who have been part of the fediverse/federation/indieweb for a while should probably grant some space on this.

OK, #introduction since I’ve migrated instances. My name is Amanda Carson, formerly Amanda Rush, and I’ve been using Mastodon and other federating things since 2018 or so. I’ve been doing #indieweb things since I stumbled on webmentions in 2015 and been stuck in that rabbit hole ever since. Spoke at an indiewebcamp, web developer by day and avid book reader.

I’m listening to the rain outside the living room window and it’s making me very sleepy. I also have a full tummy from lunch.

Currently frustrated with some very loud Twitter Migration folks. I’m glad you guys are checking out the fediverse through Mastodon, but we are explicitly not a Twitter clone, people have a right to curate their timelines and some of that is done through content warnings, feedback is fine but being a jerk about it is an excellent way to make sure that feedback is ignored, and none of us told you to come over here and completely disrespect the community norms we’ve collectively established. We’re sorry Twitter’s imploding, and we get that you’re mourning that on top of having to adjust to a new community. But we didn’t create any of these problems and we shouldn’t be expected to solve them for you without so much as "please" from you either.

OK seriously if you’re posting a thread that’s 115+ posts long on the socials, put it in a blog post. We still have those, they work, they can syndicate everywhere, so don’t clog people timelines up with your masterpiece MK?

Very tired but it’s officially quit-hundred hours so there’s that. Trying to decide if I want to have a beer or not.

Wow. Cloudflare apparently blocks webfinger requests. Don’t know about other CDNs and/or WAFs, but this is doubleplusungood and I hope they discontinue this.

I’ve been on Mastodon and/or using webmention and micropub for a while now and I’ll be the first to admit that there’s definitely room for improvement for all of these especially when it comes to onboarding. But, watching people on Twitter lose their Goddamn minds because people are trying out Mastodon is never going to get old.

Damn. Still no archive from the large Mastodon instance. I’m waiting on that before I do the final migration step. And, welcome to new followers. Mastodon is a different experience than Twitter but I think it’s a richer and definitely more interesting experience that’s worth the migration or even just lifeboat.
