@matt @FediThing The weakness of Fediverse is the immature process of moderation. I’m reading more and more examples of blocking whole servers without clear reasons. Because somebody is thinking about something. Maybe it’s a single post, maybe thousand posts from one million. The easiest thing is to add them to the fediblock list with a long list of general and unclear accusation. Nobody will check them.

Got a #3dprinter recently and my wife asked me to print some turkeys for Thanksgiving. No problem!

100 Mastodon myths:

1. Mastodon is hard.

FALSE. It’s a "soft"ware. Not hardware.

2. You have to use Linux to post on Mastodon.

FALSE. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are also supported.

3. You need to learn to use the Vim editor before posting on Mastodon.

FALSE. There’s also an emacs plugin.

4. Mastodon is only for computer nerds.

FALSE. As you can see, we sometimes try to make jokes that everyone could understand.

mastodon works quickly... I've just installed Rust

I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's
