There’s so much going on and we’re all so busy.

But we’re never too busy to meticulously color-code our #TapestryApp feeds to match their respective icons and logos.

Don’t let this get lost in the blind rage of it all. The executive order re: #DEI mentions the removal and erasure of accessibility measures *by name* in the body of the text.

When we say “The UX sucks for normal people.” it’s not because we all want our grandma on here.

It’s because our favorite F1 drivers (as an example) will probably never be on here until the content teams that represent them can get their boss’s boss’s boss to approve it, which would probably require *them* using it.

I feel like this is a dynamic we all “see” every day without realizing it.

When we’re like “Why isn’t my favorite [show, store, band, etc.] on Fedi?” the answer is probably that they’re owned by a company that is owned by a company that is owned by a company that has to vet every single platform them they use and explicitly allow them.

@BeAware didn’t even think of that! I was only thinking of the feeds it generates for profiles 🤦♂️

I would really love to see #Mastodon add public lists, especially with RSS. I have a #WebDev list and it would be so nice to 1) share it with others and 2) follow it via RSS.

We talk a lot about the federation of Threads but it is incredible what @Flipboard has managed to do. A #fediverse app is literally an Editor’s Choice in the App Store because of the work they are doing.

Did you expect to see a fedi client sitting between Disney+ and Audible two years ago?

Very cool @pixelfed shoutout from @verge!

Thinking about this a lot more recently.

In honor of how chronically online I’m going to be for the next few months, I turned #Fediverse Sharing back on for my Threads account.

Since this blew up, let’s actually do something!

For the next 24 hours, all proceeds from our apps @mastowatch and Audracity will go to the Kamala campaign!

Audracity: https://apple.co/47HmGeg
Mastowatch: https://apple.co/3VUPytt

I need #KamalaHarris 2024 merch immediately. Fire up the printers! Tote bags and coffee cups! T-shirts and yard signs! LFG!

#usPol #harris2024

If this doesn’t energize the party, literally nothing will. We need to be running this ad non-stop on every available screen in the country.

#usPol #harris

@Mastodon how does support for this show up in the API? I'd love to add a flag to @mastowatch so #MastoAdmin can show off their adoption!

@Mastodon nice @devondundee cameo! 🚀

You can track your fatherhood journey by the increasingly chaotic and unhinged things you’re willing to wear to your local Walgreens.
