I have a full-on personal instance on the other side of the Fediverse, but Eugen permits me to have this backup and testing account here.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

Buried here: "Vox Media’s technology news publication The Verge says it also has plans to federate its own site to have more ownership over its content and audience." https://digiday.com/marketing/as-tiktok-ban-threatens-stability-in-social-media-ecosystem-some-brands-settle-into-the-fediverse/?utm_source=werd.io&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_channel=mastodon

@ben Truly shocking to observe someone in the media realizing that Fediverse exists beyond Mastodon.

The fact that you can follow the president of the United States (@potus) from your Mastodon account instead of being forced to have an X or Threads account for it is a huge W in my book. Of course our team is fully available to help if they'd want to set up Mastodon on whitehouse.gov. I believe governments should not rely on 3rd party platforms to connect with their constituents.

@Gargron Are you going to block @potus once Donald Trump is elected again?

@Gargron Looks like a still from one of those "1000 ways to die" videos.

NPR’s data shows that they lost nothing after being ostracized by the psychotic white billionaire. It counters the idea that leaving Twitter is a loss. Let’s dismiss the idea that we need to be held hostage on any platform.

@markwyner As we can see, Mastodon is a fertile ground for racism.

Now would be a good time for all European politicians and journalists to setup accounts on Mastodon.

@Gargron It may be a good time for them, but does Fediverse need more of the scum like journalists and politicians? I am not convinced.

Pedestrians, it should be our right to be distracted. It should be our right to walk and listen to music / look at the sky / cute dogs / snowflakes and not worry about getting killed. Nothing about that is dangerous except for CARS. Don't let them make you believe you are the problem.

The fragmentation among friends that follows Twitter’s collapse is exactly the kind of problem that Mastodon and the social web solves for. Imagine that you don’t have to pick and choose which new platform to adopt, or make and maintain a million accounts—because you can follow anyone regardless of which platform they’re on. That’s our reality.

> you can follow anyone regardless of which platform they’re on

Meanwhile I'm prohibited from following @Moon

Note that I'm not arguing for following some nazi on Poa.st. The shitposter.club is a wholesome instance with a sensible moderation policy. But one of your censor minions put it on the list alongside freespeechextremist.net and there's no appeal process.

The heavy-handed, capricious, and unaccountable censorship is big problem at Mastodon.

Logging on to Mastodon… I think I will read six hundred posts today. Perhaps I shall even indulge myself and read six hundred and one

zaitcev,
@zaitcev@mastodon.online avatar

@mcc Sure, 600 posts - except those that are fediblocked. And even if not, constant federation issues rate-limit better than Twitter.

@Gargron The demise of Google Reader made me go back to my desktop reader, Liferea, and I'm very happy for it. Thank you, Google.
