Artists and photographers on the fediverse aren't limited to Pixelfed!

The fediverse has two well established Mastodon instances for art and photography.

Your friends and fans can follow your https://mastodon.art or https://photog.social account from Pixelfed or other supported implementations!

Just realised that the Most Untranslatable Japanese Word, "bimyou", actually translates pretty literally to going "eeeh", grimacing, and wiggling your hand side to side.

You can tell the language is missing an important word when you have to make up a universally recognisable gesture to replace the concept it conveys.

Web articles to podcasts, that's what we do. And we just released version 18! We now support multiple languages and enhanced google voices. We could use the help #beta testing if anyone is interested. We accept articles by toot as well. Sign up, send us a toot, do whatchya like.

Someone at the White House wrote an anonymous op-ed for the NYT criticising #Trump. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opinion/trump-white-house-anonymous-resistance.html

They used the word "lodestar". (Not a word that commonly used, I'd wager.)

But there is someone at the White House who does use it in speeches...

Opsec anyone?

Due to popular demand, and the ever-increasing net to explain Mastodon to newbies as every instance is being bombarded with new users...

I've gone ahead and create a video tutorial that should help folks get to grips with all of this platform's particulars:

I have a bunch of friends from Twitter joining Mastodon tonight so I made a quick guide to how the site works. Making it public so anyone can see/boost it if it's helpful. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

We have already recognized the problem of spam accounts, and we were taking actions a few months ago.

So, I want you to use the report feature.

The great thing about the Internet is that it allows you to interact with practically every other person on the planet.

This is also the worst thing about the Internet.
