When I first created tech.lgbt, Mastodon was only a few months old.
I originally set it up on a very small server on 15 April 2017, which would have been v1.1.2. We’re on 4.1.2 exactly six years later. Three full major releases in!
On a personal note, I’ve had lots of ups and downs on the fediverse, but I am glad to be able to help make a space for queer folks who like bappy computer thingies. :bowie: :bowie_heart:

@Brandon_h Aw man I'm so sorry things aren't going well for you and I hope they improve in the next week.

@theglobalvoice Welcome to the fediverse, or at least Mastodon. You'll find that Mastodon is your gateway to the wider fediverse, and also that there's a ton of other stuff to explore here: Bookwyrm for books, Funkwhale for music, and you can follow users of other apps all from Mastodon.
@ANGELGIRL1976 Most of your weather stuff will likely go away, as most of those accounts use the API to automate posting and that's done as of yesterday I think.
We aren't as humans meant to be in a state of hyper vigilance. We rotate lifeguards every 30 minutes for exactly this reason. AND YET, If you conceal-carry, that's what you're doing to yourself. My observation of people I've known who CC'd is that it becomes their personality and not in a positive way. The gun is a radioactive isotope. You are exposing yourself to its cancer every time you carry it on your person. It seeps into your brain and bones. You are raising the chances you're going to do something inexcusable because you have set yourself up for it. You're not a "wolf" protecting the "sheep". You're just a poison victim who convinced yourself that the thing you poisoned yourself with was good, actually.
He wants to smear the Manhattan district attorney who is prosecuting Donald Trump. But there are some silver linings.

@keao @munchkinbear @Pipistrelle Not going to get into a long explainer I haven't had enough coffee yet and my sleep schedule's all messed up again.
In reply to @keao.
@keao @munchkinbear @Pipistrelle Yeah it can, because what Mastodon tries to abstract out in the function of "aliusing" is just DNS, so all those conditions apply, including propagation.
Periodic reminder that we have an inclusive #horror based instance here at @horrorhub.club where you can discuss spooky books, movies, TV, writing, etc., to your heart’s content.
If you’re interested, feel free to check out our timeline and let us know if you have any questions

@munchkinbear @keao @Pipistrelle It can take a bit for followers to migrate given the way aliusing is done.
