It’s only an algorithm if it comes from the algorithm region of France, otherwise it’s just sparkling conditionals.

I am just sitting here slack-jawed at the latest news coming out from Elon Musk’s Twitter, where employees are being forced to sign a “pledge” by the end of the day tomorrow, or else they be let go with 3 months’ severance. This is rapidly becoming a cult.

I think we here on Mastodon should start up a betting pool as to the exact date when Elon Musk actually kills Twitter. I honestly can’t see how the company survives 365 days under these circumstances.

There’s a lot of chat on the bird site by disabled people who are scared because it is such an important means of connection and support for them. Can people of #mastodon tell me what it’s like here for disabled people? Is this a good place to find community and support? #disabled #fediverse #mastodaoine

@thewebmusician Home shows posts from people you follow. Local shows public posts from everyone on your instance. Federated shows all posts from instances your current instance talks to (e.g. if someone on that instance follows someone from another instance, you’ll see their posts in federated).

A couple years ago, Facebook went HAM on people using their icons/logos etc in plugins on WordPress.org

Looking at Twitter? Yeeeaaaah if you have a plugin that uses Twitter, I would seriously rethink. You can close your own for the most part and honestly I would just shutter anything not super popular. They’re gonna go legally annoying.

Does everyone know about the awesome Old-Time Radio collection, which has literal years of audio of classic radio shows? Drama, Mystery, Comedy, and more. One of the crown jewels of the archive.

This is too good. Elno just posted an update to the Twitter rules, but no one can read them because he fired all the Twitter reliability engineers and the backend is broken.

Starting to understand why Tesla “full self driving” is always crashing.

A History of Recent Twitter Migration to the Fediverse

1 month ago: Mastodon? No thanks. You have to have a Ph.D in Hackerology to use it.

3 weeks ago: I don’t like this Mastodon… But if I have to… *sigh*

2 weeks ago: Wait. This does really cool things like let me edit posts. So genius. Is this free?

1 week ago: OMG! There’s other apps! Now I know why there’s a Fediverse!

Today: Comrades—let’s fight for our freedom! Cast off the chains of Big Social!
