I think today I'm going to see how many followers I can lose, then get back, then lose again because they realized that I'm not @Alice

@MastodonEngineering long story short: Don't hold your breath.

If I am elected Mayor of Mastodon...

"Bit coin" will become "bite coin" and it will be real and made of chocolate giving it a value that is determined by the person eating it.

Thank you for your vote.

All things are temporary. Even the things we wish we could keep.

Suffering comes from not acknowledging this and by desiring otherwise.

The wise person does not wait for better times. Instead they make the best of the times they are in.

Calm your mind in these troubled times. Seek solace in friendship and peace in the little moments in between.

I would love to dump Google 100% but considering they're my ISP and there aren't really any good choices for ISP's in the area, and considering my girlfriend needs a reliable ISP for the three days a week she works from home, it's just not a possibility.

The only thing I use Gmail for is spam, but I should dump those soon as well.

And until we get some light bulbs that work with Siri, our Google Home devices will have to wait to be replaced. (we have 2)

Ungoogleing is a pain.

The next person to follow me will get all of my posts delivered straight to their Homepage for FREE!

(This is not an offer. Viewer discretion advised. Only good while supplies last. Best if used by 05/20)

@amiserabilist Me IRL.

@amiserabilist I feel like this could have been an email.

😁

If tacos smelled like farts, but it tasted exactly the same as they do now, do you think people would still like them?

Asking for a friend.

Don’t make your instance owner have to beg you to help them keep the service you are using running.

That includes all of the Fedi services you use. Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Lemmy, etc..

Every little bit helps. If you can only give $2 a month, then that’s $2 more they can use to help provide the service to those who can’t even afford $2 a month.

If this is truly “the people‘s social media“ then we should all do our part to make sure that it isn't a burden to those that provide it for us

A lot of newbies don't know, but in the early times of Mastodon an emphasis was put on being as inclusive as possible.

One way was a simple courtesy to some of our autistic friends. You see some autistic individuals have issues with pictures that have direct eye contact in them.

You know, selfies.

To help them, the community decided to make sure to use a content warning or to use the hashtag #selfie so that they can be filtered out.

So please, be kind and consider doing the same. Thanks.

Since a lot of new people have come on I've noticed a rise in people trying to start arguments. It's as if they carried the toxicity from wherever they came from along with them.

So this is your reminder that you DO NOT HAVE TO ENGAGE with people who are here just to start fights.

Mute them. Block them. Do whatever you have to do to take care of your mental health.

They aren't worthy of your time.

Let's keep Mastodon and the rest of the Fedi a "social" network and not a "toxic" network.

If you're feeling like the world is falling apart around you and that there's nothing that you can do to make things better...

Volunteer.

Find a food bank, a shelter, a hospice, a senior center. Find some place where you can lend your time towards the service of others.

Volunteering is a great way to do something worthwhile for your community. It takes us out of our own troubles, and focuses that energy on helping others.

So go volunteer. Help yourself by helping others.

Post a damn cat pic or something in between all of your "doom and gloom" posts would you?

We know shits getting worse. It doesn't mean that's all we are. There are still good things worthy of our attention out there.

Try not to forget that.

I think that one of the most important hashtag on Mastodon is #today.

So much content on here is about politics or complaints about one thing or another. We tend to forget that we are all human and that it's in our everyday lives where we can find commonality.

And part of being "social" is to embrace the things we share.

It's why I boost #today so much. It's where we can share our plans for the day and see ourselves in the other.

Join us in #today. Help keep Mastodon social.

My bathroom schedule is interfering with my "stay under the electric blanket to keep warm" schedule and it's really annoying.

I just realized that none of the doughnuts that I've had at Crispy Cream were ever "crispy".

@dansup Thanks!

@dansup If I was on the Testflight should I delete it and download the one in the app store?

I still say that people who argue on Mastodon should be called "Mastobaters".

It works in more ways then one.
