I'm new and excited to be here? I've been looking for ways to be connected and have services available, but keep privacy and security top of mind. My efforts have been focused on my home network, but I'm starting to broaden that to social media. I've always had a beef with SM and have hated how irrelevant it can be.

Enter Mastodon.

In many ways this is just an experiment, but it is one that I hope takes off and is, for me, successful.

A bit about me: I'm a nerd, pure and simple. I love Star Trek, reading (anything), science/tech, DnD (Monks for the win!), woodworking, and astronomy. I'm currently looking for ways to combine hobbies (like building a 3d-printed & wood framed telescope).

I am a former member of a cult...long story. and am in a lengthy process of discovering...we...me.

Hope to meet some cool people, and engage in new ways.

Calendar apps should have a feature to hide meetings you can safely ignore and skip but cannot outright decline to make them disappear.

I'm prototyping a fediverse sharing button. Anyone interested in giving it a try?

Feature highlights:

  • shows a logo of supported fediverse software
  • lets you share selected text
  • remembers the last fediverse domain used

Demo: https://fediverse-share-button.stefanbohacek.dev/
Download: https://github.com/stefanbohacek/fediverse-share-button/

Well, it's official. My posts ain't coming with me.

Oh well. I'll be sad that all that Fedi history will be eventually wiped away, but I am glad to be making the migration.

I still have most of the images I've posted over the year, so I hope you all won't mind if I repost some of them from time to time, and maybe you can help me get re-federated as much as I was before!

Here goes everything....I hope I don't crash the instance.😬

What should an Admin, or if you're an Admin, what do you do, about someone's post that contains unnecessary extreme profanities attacking a well-known person?

Comments are welcome

I like how social media and news sites call it your "feed". Makes me feel like a farm animal getting fattened up for slaughter so I can be divided up and sold piecemeal to advertisers.

Got my first white supremacist reply from the fediverse after posting an article about Elon from Flipboard.

I reported and blocked the account & instance whose admin is also clearly KKK. That instance will now be blocked on flipboard.com and flipboard.social. It will also be shared with other instance admins for them to take action if they deem appropriate. Took 2 mins to help make the fediverse a bit better tonight.

The cool thing is that anyone can do this too. Decentralized moderation FTW.

janette_speyer,

Thanks for this. I have gotten my fair share of hate mail. All I want is an environment where we all respect each other. Thanks for making this possible

And the Mastodon taliban that are not happy about it can go f' themselves, or even better, move to an instance that doesn't federate with anyone (I advise truth.social )

Hey there y'all! I'm Sol (although that's a pseudonym), I'm a musician and a student in the New York area, and I'm very new to Mastodon and similar sites.

I use all pronouns, so don't worry about accidentally using the wrong ones.

I'm bisexual, but I do have a partner, so don't hit on me lol (thats a joke btw)

uhh yeah I might sound weird at times, I'm VERY neuroatypical, I have ADD (ADHD minus the hyperactive) and maybe Autism or at least a lot of autistic tendencies (looking back on that, it sounds a bit rude towards people actually on the spectrum , i mean no harm i just dont know how to word things better)

Somethings i like:
Books
Minecraft
Music
Any kind of computer science

Thanks for looking at my words, and have a good day!

This is HUGE! Ryan Barrett, a talented dev, has just launched the BlueSky-Fediverse bridge known as Bridgy Fed!

This allows users on Fediverse (mastodon and other platforms besides threads, for now) and BlueSky to opt-in to have their posts shared cross-platform!

This is just another massive achievement for the future of social media! Hopefully once Threads fully integrates the Fediverse, this will possibly bridge Threads too! 🥳🥳🥳Fediverse is the future of social media!

Social Media

beaware.live,

Just to add on. This means that non Threads Fediverse users are now the only ones who can follow users from both Threads AND BlueSky! The future is NOW! Turn on Fediverse beta or get left behind!

PSA: If members of your party are citing stories about executing puppies to highlight their ability to lead, you’re in a fucking cult.
