Honestly I’m surprised nobody made their Halloween name say “Klan-Zuckerberg Initiative”.

You can now search for #Hashtags with #mastoview and choosing if you want to get only results from one instance or its federated results.

Close runner up, of course, is Darius Kazemi’s roast of every XOXO talk, “How I Won The Lottery”: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l_F9jxsfGCw

My favorite XOXO talk remains the Golan Levin & Pablo Garcia postmortem of their kickstarter that included the names, faces, and living/working conditions of all the Chinese factory workers who actually built the product. The atmosphere in the room just kept getting more and more tense and uncomfortable because nobody could figure out how/when/if to clap. You could feel the room being forced to grow, it ruled.
I have to say, it really feels like people are loving Glitch and we’re making something good, and that makes me super excited. I just have to not screw it up.

The only defense is the stubbornness of individual volunteer administrators.
The worst speech is therefore going to continue to drive out desirable speech here. 2/2

Just caught up on some fractured shard of the Wil Wheaton story.
- 60 reports/day are enough to overwhelm a volunteer admin
- dogpiling can be effective even when coped with by paid staff, historical tracking & analysis, carefully-written policies (see birdsite gamergaters & terfs)z
- the dogpile technique is therefore more effective here
- it's just proven its effectiveness against a celebrity target
Expect a lot more of it. 1/2

@anildash I'll second and third this. Glitch.com is AWESOME. Nothing like spinning up a full fledged domain running node with the click of button.
I used it to teach #HTML and #WebVR (via AFrame) to some high school kids.
Not having to worry about how to "post" things (hey, I can walk over to another machine and run my demo) or host media is GAME CHANGING for learning to code.
Is there a tricked-out version of Ghost that lets you have a blog with all the indieweb stuff without having to do days of setup? I would pay good money for that.
Hi, if you’re on Mastodon, you should almost certainly be on Glitch. We want you making cool indie web shit. It’s $free.99 at https://glitch.com and that’s my #spon content for the day!
Mastodon is a trip because people are like, “Content Warning: Twitter exists.”
Fixin’ to toot.
