   Someone reminded me today 9 years ago I submitted my first post on Mastodon—using curl on the command line, since there was no interface at the time. That's how the journey began! 9 years is a long time to be doing something. Those early years are still fresh in my mind though.

     @Gargron I thought this app was a newer app. I first heard of this app back in 2023 but didn’t join till last year.

     And then I did a deal with Meta and raved at everyone on the Fediverse for months about how cool it would be to federate with Threads

     It would be awesome, I said

     @Blanco I see, I appreciate the sentiment, but I think there may be confusion about the word. Oligarch means someone who rules; I have no intention of ever getting involved in politics.

     @Gargron Not meant as an insult, only a sarcastic joke. I always get in trouble with my sense of humor. But, didn't Bill Gates start in his garage? You should become an Olygarch, you would be one of the good ones.

     Do we have to go there? The months where you teamed up with the Meta fucker to promote Threads on the Fediverse.

     Did you forget about that? This is embarrassing.

     @fixatedpersonsunit I think this happened in your mind. Mastodon never teamed up or made any deals with Meta. I am, however, in favour of adversarial interoperability which is one of the foundational principles of the fediverse.

     @dimpase Yeah, it's actually exactly the same now as it was then, the API never had to change! You need to get an API key and POST to /api/v1/statuses with the right params. There's documentation.

     '@mosseri just announced that #Threads users can finally follow fediverse accounts. Which means you can now reach 200M people from your Mastodon account without ever using Threads yourself. True decentralization happens on the fediverse!'

     In my mind. Fuck head.

     @Gargron I was just thinking about how long I’ve been creating webpages (although I wasn’t good at all in the beginning). Suffice to say, it’s been a long time. I still remember the early days myself. A long time ago; but also seems like yesterday.

     @Gargron I have a dumb question or I may be bit data nerd, I will check Admin Docs.

     How can I monitor how many new users joining in particular mastodon servers? I don’t own a server as of now. But I am thinking of hosting one. Can I export such data to my dashboard like Grafana for the servers I own and don’t own through ang open API?
