Twitter is down.. time to come back here and see what's up.

Everyone's doing the ✅, I'm nothing if not contrary

So with that in mind, let's talk about something not Mastodon related!

I was pleasantly surprised that wasn't on lockdown today.

What is with the French/Russian flags for the 日本語 tooters?

I really want subscribable instances? Like I want to be able to read all the bot tweets from botsin.space in a single column? I think that would be nice. Then you could also quarantine all the journos on their own servers too lmao

I don't think anything about Mastodon a deal-breaker right now, it's just not totally convenient and I think has to evolve. Interested in watching where it goes

Apologies to everyone I had to leave out! (your instances are great too)

Sorry everyone. Mastodon is already dead. No one can pronounce the name, toots, are dumb, and there are no new registrations. SAD. newstatesman.com/science-tech/

The key thing about Mastodon usernames is that they are fully qualified. i.e. I'm [at]akrabat[at]mastodon.technology.

However, if you're on my local instance (mastodon.techology), then you can just use [at]akrabat.

This is the same as the way landline telephones work - you can just dial the local number bit if you have the same area code. I wonder how many people will realise this as we're used to unique handles on social networks.

CALLER YOU'RE THROUGH TO DOCTOR MIKE THE MEDICAL MECHANIC WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU???

Hi, first time-long time! I've been trying to construct a homemade scoliosis brace out of a bicycle frame and some empty cans, but I implanted it wrong and now I have a bunch of metal plates sticking out of my back like a stegosaurus. Should I try and remove them, or should I inject myself with some lizard DNA and see how far I can take this?

Encouraging news... I should be starting setup on hackers.town tomorrow.

God, how does this video not have more views? Skating Polly is amazing...
