Messaging between instances isn't going to scale well if this thing takes off, is it?

At the risk of discussing a non-Mastodon topic for once, my lil' space Tumblr is here, fwiw: explorationimages.tumblr.com/

I'm glad that there's Mastodon so that we have a place to talk about Mastodon.

So, about followbots. Super annoying over on the Songbird Website, but they help get instances federated here, so maybe they play a semi-useful role?

The next masto trend will be that we pass around one whole bitcoin all day. We never do anything with it, we just toss it around like it's some kind of large tropical fruit or something

Oh wow, this thing can filter by regex. That is so nerdy. I love it.

Though the best thing about $employer's WWIV BBS was a secret door program that patched you through to the Sequent box in the basement. Dual 386's, size of a refrigerator, caused bitter Dynix (BSD) vs. Dynix/ptx (SVR4) flame wars around the office.

So maybe Mastodon needs some dumb ASCII BBS games to add to the whole 90s vibe, like maybe Trade Wars or Food Fight.

I was mostly on WWIVnet back then Mostly 'cos workplace had a WWIV BBS, plus I could never get into FidoNet's real names policy.

@brx0 Now we'll be able to talk about the latest ST: DISCOVERY episode, bad Unicode emoticons, and, er....

I kind of like the "Mastodon = networked 1990 BBS" analogy. Though I'm drawing a complete blank on what I used to talk about back then. IIRC it was mostly the latest TNG episode, bad ASCII art, and a lot of yelling about the first Iraq war.

anyway here's a pineapple, for old times' sake. 🍍

Ok, so hiding a Rick gif behind a CW didn't work quite the way I'd hoped. Apologies, all around.

So I'm on a cyberpunk social media network to distract myself while facing social dystopia levels of traffic while using a cyberpunk dystopia ride sharing service with a rogue jockey who zigzags through traffic #shittycyberpunk
