@Gargron That's how you know a service is preferred by people with taste - they make lovely art there.

Bluesky seems to be having server issues. Anyone remember the failwhale? (To be clear, I think this is a sign of progress!)

@Gargron In lieu of financial support, which I'm not prepared to offer right now, I'm happy to consult a few hours on strategic communications, media training, etc.

@mmasnick Good luck!

@Gargron Reading this thread with people calling you out for imaginary things about people on your board. 🤪

@dansup I'm not convinced anti-Threads sentiment isn't just anti-capitalist sentiment dressed up in fediverse language.

@Gargron Really? I've watched the first episode from S2 and feel like it's running out of steam. What am I missing?

Started watching this series called Foundation, after the Foundation series from Asimov. N case anyone was wondering, it's not a film version of the story, rather a story set in the same universe with some vignettes from the books. I'm guessing Foundation, is out of copyright, so they could use the name.
It doesn't have the same sense of a grand sweep of history that you get from the books and is really more of a space action series with some bits of Foundation narrative spliced in.

@mike Since you asked, this metaphor about keyboard warriors and compromised computer systems: https://mastodon.social/@williamgunn/110868610373000980

@Gargron @Sarahp @Techmeme @zackwhittaker No, wasn't asking you. Sounds like you're doing what you can.

@Gargron @Sarahp @Techmeme @zackwhittaker I guess there's a request in to fix this already?

@Techmeme @Sarahp @zackwhittaker @Gargron Is the generic link preview for TC links a Mastodon issue or a Yahoo issue?

@Gargron really hoping for lists that actually work and following hashtags.

@Gargron Now's the time, if you haven't already, to hire a moderation firm and keep the identity of the moderation staff private. Otherwise it's just pressure campaign after pressure campaign on the poor folks. I can recommend some good firms.
