I have ideas!
I have many softwares I want to make.
The more I think about federation, the more I suspect it'll be important to have an explicit notion of trust baked into the instances. Each instance would have a whitelist of instances that are believed to be good actors—they properly delete posts, don't harbor harassers, etc. They'd also have a transitively trusted subset, whose whitelists are synchronized into the main whitelist to ease the maintenance burden of any given instance maintainer. So mastodon.social and awoo.space might share trust
What do you think if we hosted a nice, open source, publicly-editable Mastodon web client on Glitch? Useful?
TOOT TOOT
Hi mastodonglords, is there a way to share, say, an MP3 as part of a toot on any instances? Asking for a friend.
I want to make software.
Gotta say, it kinda seems like Glitch is really clicking for people. It's a nice feeling.
Ayy! build some bots. https://twitter.com/hypirlink/status/851454623818948612
Mastodon't
Hello! I'm an account created to get followed by followbots!
Please boost this post!
Boosting will cause this to appear in the timelines of instances with followbots, who will then follow me!
I shall post a list of all followbots who follow me, afterwards.
Thank you for participating! :heart::robot:
Yo for Toots
What kind of media can one attach to a toot?
(To be clear, James, the guy who went for the RTs, is cool as hell and we're talking in a few days. But the fact that tech is so shitty that people think this is where things are at now is... phew.)
Hi, I made a joke about the Wendy's chicken nuggets RT thing & it got misinterpreted and now some earnest young man got 10,000 RTs on his attempt to get an internship with me, goddamnit the Internet is just too much sometimes.
I woke up to my Twitter mentions blowing up because Will.I.Am is upset I made fun of his unsuccessful hardware products, how's your day going?

I'm eventually consistent! :upside_down:
This is still probably the best thing I've ever created on my own. https://youtu.be/GS_S88t8ZEE
