Facebook ads really want me to try Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.
I really want to know what the fuck an Exvius is.
bug fixes and performance improvements
The author of this article treats Mastodon like it’s another social startup hellbent on killing Twitter. He doesn’t get it.
I’m not saying Mastodon will survive, but its users will drive it, like Twitter’s early users made it what it is, much to Twitter’s chagrin.
And, really, that’s what made early Twitter so special—its users experimented & had a hand in shaping the platform, from hash tags to apps.

INTRO TO FEDERATION:
1. "mastodon" is a piece of software that runs on a server. There's a lot of servers that run it & u can follow ppl on other servers.
2. When u follow someone from another server, your server receives their toots.
3. The federated TL is all public toots that the server receives, ie all of the toots from everyone that ppl on your server follow.
4. ERGO: if u want to see more toots in the fed TL, follow + get other ppl on your server to follow ppl from other servers!
Fuzzy elephant's getting hugged pretty hard right now. I don't know if "429 throttled" is an error message or a boast.
