I think someone should start an Infocom themed instance. Then, set up a chatbot to randomly spout some line from one of the games.

It's pitch black. You're likely to be eaten by a grue.

Happy D'ni New Year, #Mystodon! The original Myst HyperCard stack was created 26 years ago today. ๐ŸŽ‰

@StockpiledGrievances, um, I probably shouldn't ask, but I can't help myself. Is there a story behind your user ID?

I made an instance previewer, so you can see the local/federated feeds of an instance without signing up: unmung.com/mastoview?url=xoxo.

@jlward Yup, we agree. And in the process, we're each introducing more nuance to the subject. Gotta love a platform that encourages conversation, huh? :-)

One thing I do enjoy about Mastodon is the expanded character limit. 500 characters seems to be the perfect amount to express a thought while preventing a full essay about a topic. It's a very nice middle ground.

Is there a way to find a Local or Federated Timeline that is in English? Maybe a language filter? Currently, it appears all of the messages posted in those timelines is in Japanese.
