I find I use both Twitter and Mastodon quite a bit.
I go to Twitter to observe the trainwreck first hand, to try to provide some perspective, and to promote alternatives.
I come here to learn new things.
Every time we have to speak basic personal information into a phone or enter it into a form is indicative of massive failure of information technology. Countless hours wasted. Vulnerabilities created. Avoidable errors. It's wild to me that there's so much investment in technology but the basic plumbing is so decrepit.
@JamesGleick Completely agree. Take their future into their own hands.
@stubbornella This is awesome!!
I grew up in 90s Chicagoland but never saw Jordan play. Seen a lot of other cool stuff since, tho, haha.

Getting deep into the syntax for CSS Nesting, exploring the options…
Here’s a quick & overly simplistic preview...
Option 3:
article {
font-family: avenir;
& aside {
font-size: 1rem;
}
}
Option 4:
article {
font-family: avenir;
} {
aside {
font-size: 1rem;
}
}
Option 5:
@nest article {
& {
font-family: avenir;
}
aside {
font-size: 1rem;
}
}
Which all become:
article {
font-family: avenir;
}
article aside {
font-size: 1rem;
}
Thoughts?

16 years, 9 months and 4 days ago, Google launched Google Docs, a free online word processor, closer to the release of Windows 95 than today.
@Vampir001 what sucks in your experience?
@atomicpoet I believe the fear of having to rebuild is real. The Twitter product does a lot to reinforce that value. Simply posting the content to Mastodon might not do it.
@darnell Interesting point on how it might effect operational costs. That's def gonna be a factor in how this plays out.

This map shows where the world's carbon emissions come from - population centers, flight paths, shipping lanes and high production areas.

@darnell Beginning of the end of the defederation dramas. You'll either federate with Tumblr and be part of the biggest part of the Fediverse or be in a pocket universe. More surgical tools for moderation will have to be developed.

So #Tumblr has 135 million (!) active users who will join the #Fediverse in the next few months (if not sooner): https://www.tumblr.com/press
For comparison #Matrix has 64 million active users: https://news.itsfoss.com/matrix-sixty-million-users/
Tumblr also plans on adding Matrix support (probably after activating #ActivityPub upon the site).
How will #Mastodon servers handle the influx as Tumblr is a very media rich website (more more than #Pixelfed IMHO)‽ Any #MastoAdmin want to weigh in‽

Because direct messages are part of the feed in #Mastodon, I often realize they are DMs AFTER answering. This is a mishap in UI design that should be fixed.
In the meantime, here's a CSS for a clear pulsing indicator for private messages. If you are not an instance admin, you can use Live editor for CSS and the pin icon: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/live-editor-for-css-less/ifhikkcafabcgolfjegfcgloomalapol?hl=en
CSS (WIP):
.fa[title="Mentioned people only"]::after {
width: 8px;
height: 8px;
border-radius: 50%;
content: '';
display: inline-block;
background: #f15f5a;
order: 1;
animation: pulse-animation 2s infinite;
}
.fa[title="Mentioned people only"]::before {
order: 2;
}
.fa[title="Mentioned people only"] {
color: #f15f5a;
display: inline-flex;
align-items: center;
gap: 8px;
transform: translateY(-2px)
}
.status-direct .status__relative-time {
color: #f15f5a;
display: inline-flex;
align-items: center;
}
.status__visibility-icon {
display: inline-flex
align-items: center;
padding-top: 0;
margin-top: 0;
}
@keyframes pulse-animation {
0% {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 0px rgba(241, 95, 90, 0.5);
}
100% {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 10px rgba(241, 95, 90, 0);
}

@bhoggard have you ever heard of LearnedLeague? It's an online trivia league. You'd probably be really good at it. It keeps track of your stats by category, and I do well in most, except for the arts, which I'm horrible at.

For all my people following #BlackMastodon,
A few things I wanna say...
I want us all to throw out our arms for inclusivity, especially for our family in the jewish communities and the LBGT+ communities coming under attack so viciously and frequently, lately. I'd ask for anyone that know, please throw up some hashtags to follow to get those convos in our feed. All the bigoted, insecure haters flooding Twitter are looking for targets here on Mastodon, we want this fam wide and deep.
#1/3
@BigAngBlack hell yes. This is a movement I'm here for.
