my bicycle can't stand up on its own because it's two-tired

i love talking about federation in the #fediverse because it's as close as I'll ever get to being in starfleet ? #socialmedia #scifi

Today in #Tech #History (1987): Someone wearing a ‘Max Headroom’ mask successfully executed a broadcast signal intrusion on WGN & WTTW #TV stations out of #Chicago. The hijackers were never caught: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKnwhokvgxE #retro #vintage #nostalgia #80s #technology

@nova @paris ...i'm old enough to remember tweetups. :D

@Gargron ...as someone who uses the animated GIF in replies, I thank you for noticing and filing a ticket. :)

@Gargron ...since this upgrade, GIFs don't render at all (they remain blurred out - across platforms, apps). Seems to be a related bug?

If you're from #Twitter with the #TwitterMigration, RIGHT NOW is the time to let your people know you're on Mastodon. Don't wait until that channel is shut off (if or when).

I absolutely do not know everything about #Mastodon but as quickly become an evangelist for it and the greater #fediverse.

If you, or anybody else you know, need assistance getting onboarded, just ask. There are plenty of friendly, non-judgmental people ready to help.

Keep in mind: THIS IS NOT TWITTER.

Originally shared this thread on birdsite, but you might find my #writing equally as compelling, here - as I wanted to talk about community in relation to these platforms we choose to use. Since it seems like birdsite is going through an identity crisis, you need to remember that community doesn't live there. It's always been in your heart. You take it with you wherever you go. Never forget that. No platform owns that. You do. #Mastodon #Twitter #TwitterMigration [continued...]

@Gargron @taylorlorenz ...am I also correct in assuming you can follow *any* user from across the fediverse so long as their instance is federated with yours? So, in effect, your own Home timeline is irrespective of whichever server you join. Correct?

@anildash ... why was "Weird Al" Yankovic denied permission for parodies?

@Gargron ...I just wanted to say "thank you." This will be my first toot, and I can't think of anything more fitting. Appreciate your time, expertise.
