So excited to hear about this upcoming documentary on Little Richard. He’s an unforgettable icon that I know less about than I’d like.

Hi, new friends. If you’re new to Mastodon, I just wanted to welcome you.

I’m a mas.to moderator. We work hard to keep Mastodon enjoyable for everyone. That means a zero tolerance policy for racists, misogynists, xenophobes, etc.

Other platforms moderate lightly, but we, here, take it seriously. And if a whole server is wretched, we block the whole thing for you.

Block the trolls. Report the worst. We have your back.

I like that you can pin more than one tweet here. That's pretty dope.

I'm nearly 400 posts in, so perhaps it's time for an .
I'm Syd (but maybe not 😉). I've been a bit of a nomad through various social media sites throughout the years but never really finding a home. Instagram was perhaps the nearest and I'm still semi active there.
I have decided to settle on @mstdn.social as my online home.

I like photos and music and that is what I mainly try and stick to.
I also have socialist leanings, so I may get a bit ranty about the UK government.

Interesting study on transgender athletic performance by medical physicist Joanna Harper, who is transgender. Her work is groundbreaking, serving as a data-backed retort to the myth that transgender women have an unfair advantage in sports. And she, herself, is a runner.

I finally got to walk past “Mr. Charlie’s,” the vegan McDonald’s parody near Union Square. I can’t wait to try an Impossible burger “Frowny Meal”! More info: …

@markwyner@mas.to avatar

@webuiltthiscity is it a parody because they’re poking at McDonald’s? Or is it a parody because it’s not really vegan? I don’t know anything about this. I just might be scared to try it.

@webuiltthiscity my bad. Thanks for clarifying. I was conversing rather than clicking. 🙂

Our local PBS affiliate does two hour live cooking shows on weekends, they invite viewers in to cook their signature dish on the theme of the week with one of the hosts, or the host will make a viewer submitted recipe or one of their own.

And that is why I just channel surfed past a former coworker cooking what looks like ropa vieja on a middle of the night rerun of the Instant Pot episode.

@amaditalks not only do I whole heartedly agree, I was also filled with joy simply reading your words.

Running a Mastodon instance is thankless work, which I imagine is why I've seen so many admins burn out already.

@evacide that’s why I volunteered as a moderator for mine. It takes a village.

Does Google require these "Use your Google Accounts to sing up with... " cards to cover up your own login buttons? Screw every product designer who thought this was a good idea. It's so damn hostile. Awful UX.

@marioguzman agreed. Hostile is the perfect word for this. It’s also in line with monopolistic practices.

Because Twitter has forced celebrities to have a Blue Check without their consent, that might be grounds for legal action.

I hope Lebron James and Stephen King sue Twitter's ass!

@atomicpoet I hadn’t even considered this, but it’s a completely reasonable assumption. It would be a delight to see legal recourse here.

Telegram has always been shady. I don’t use their platform because I don’t trust them. Same as a lot of people. Now they’re showing who they are by harboring a transphobic far-right extremist from Brazil, Nikolas Ferreira.

Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered Telegram to suspend his account because his followers are using the platform to plan violence and destruction. They refused.

Inaction speaks volumes. They’re complicit.

@ksv236 thank you for your respectful retort. I should be more clear with my use of “shady.”

Telegram may not be shady, but their platform makes me feel uncomfortable. Messages aren’t fully encrypted by default. You can turn this on, but I find it concerning that it’s not a default.

They claim this is because most people want their messages available on multiple devices. But that’s not an excuse to degrade privacy on an app that’s designed/marketed as a secure messaging platform.

Good news: Automakers are finally realizing that car touchscreens are a disaster.

Drivers hate them, and they're also dangerously distracting. Buttons and knobs are poised for a comeback.

@Cykelero congratulations, friend. Also, I love seeing people tap into proper accessibility practices in ways beyond helping differently-abled folks. It perhaps inspires more participation.
