Despite it all, I still love humanity. The way you love a fuckup family member who's ruining their own life and hurting everyone around them, but still.

Do you have an internal monologue? https://mastodon.world/@exchgr/110457695737377282

Thesis: In the same way that GPS has weakened our natural sense of direction (idk if actually true but let’s go with it), social networks have weakened our natural sense of … our social networks.

The edit button is great but sometimes delete is even better.

I don't know if this is possible, but I feel like the whole G/O Media union should quit en masse and start new sites as worker coops. It's not gonna get better.

BlueSky might be the best thing to happen to the Fediverse since Elon Musk.

Tired: I won’t switch instances unless I can move my posts
Wired: Posts are meant to be ephemeral, a fresh start is a gift
Inspired: Think of all the extra self boosts…

This is super subjective, but in all the previous Twitter influxes, I don't feel like I've seen the fediverse this positive and welcoming, and determined to suppress its worst tendencies.

Heartwarming to witness geese teaching their goslings the art of blocking traffic.

I’ll give him this: one thing Elon can deliver better than anyone else in the world is pure uncut schadenfreude.

One of the most important unsung elements of a successful social network is a good set of features to playfully misuse and subvert.

The Esplanade beer garden, this coming Sunday 5/14, at 5 pm. The first official #boston #tootup! (unless there’s another one I don’t know about, in which case I will edit this) RSVP at https://gath.io/1k98TsuZ5ruKkNPOvy91R, or follow @1k98TsuZ5ruKkNPOvy91R (the latter is wonky with mastodon.social but should work with most instances)

An angle I haven’t heard anyone bring up: different people face very different levels of exposure to online harassment. If, like me, you’re someone with the privilege of relative safety, consider staying on a Facebook-federated instance, and helping bring people over to non-Facebook instances. #metageddon https://oliphant.social/@oliphant/110572352002556795

I was born a nerd and fully own my geriatric millennialhood. I love dad jokes, and I embrace cringe. You are my people. Having said all that, I feel like people here are blissfully unaware of coolness as a concept. If we want more groups of people to come here, I think that's worth discussing. Along with other "soft" things like culture, aesthetics, tone.

How cringe is self boosting

Should have time based content warnings, or like, statuses like on a phone here, except instead of "do not disturb" it's like "I am drunk" or "I'm in a mood" and people can have filters for that. Or alternatively search subscriptions, if they want to read everyone's drunk toots.
