People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!

#mastodontips When you're posting a multi-message thread, make the first message in the thread "public" and the others "unlisted." That will keep the follow-up posts from showing up in people's feeds, but they'll still be able to read them when they click into the first message.

(Credit @kyonshi for the idea, but with all the new users, I wanted to get it out into the wild.)

So, due to a miscommunication, I've ended up with a spare BSides London ticket. Free to a good home as long as you promise to use it!

One thing I learned during 35 years in education: there are plenty of educators, and a vast majority of curriculum leaders, standards writers, etc. who vastly underestimate students’ interest in and capacity to learn about and potentially solve complex problems.

I haven’t grown 26K fans in a day since the early days of social media! Welcome to all who are now here with me. Let’s make new adventures together.

It looks like some of The Episcopal Church standing committees and interim bodies started meeting today. Anyone out there attending? If so, what's happening? Do tell! (I'm not jealous AT ALL!) 😁

Listening to a podcast from #OnTheMedia about Mastodon. According to the intro there's a longer version coming this weekend.

Very happy to note they mentioned the Fediverse, too.

I just noticed @alex copied QOTOs rules/about page when he wrote the gleasonator about page. I dont mind of course, I am glad he found them valuable. A lot of servers seem to replicate our rules in fact, its an honor if anything.

I'm glad he fund it valuable.

So maybe this is the wrong place and space, but have there been any further thoughts or discussions on Virtual Eucharist? I couldn’t find the folks to follow at GC, but think it’s a swell idea for the elderly, at risk, those in hospice, people doing eldercare, shift workers, etc… #MobilizeTheSacraments #VirtualEucharist #OnlineChurch #EqualAccessChurch #Episcopal #Eucharist

Can we start referring to all the software around Mastodon/Fediverse as the Toot Suite

I LOVE this. #artemis1 has just launched and Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, the first woman to serve as NASA launch director, is getting her tie cut and "will stay all night" to cut everyone's ties! 😭

#NASA #ARTEMIS - Solar array deploy is underway Orion is now traveling 17,125 MPH all four solart arrays are released , getting some live images from Orion.

My view of #artemis from Central Florida

I've been on Mastodon a couple years, on and off, and this is the first time I've felt there is a huge number of people all at once watching the same event. #Artemis launch.
