Happy to see singer-songwriter James McMurtry's silent #MayDay tribute:

"Kickin Ass for the Working Class”

I just worked out something great you can do with mastodon.el in #emacs . Using the Google translate extension I can now pretty much immediately translate selected text in a new buffer a message in another language on my Federated timeline. It has just opened up a bunch of new content, although some of the autotranslated Chinese posts can be hard to follow! Much easier than copying and pasting to translate.google.com in a browser.

I noticed one thing after a lot of people came here from Twitter.
People are using #hashtags a lot!
I have not used Twitter extensively and thus never got used to them, but here on Mastodon the use of hashtags is generally limited as well.
People generally add one or two hashtags at the beginning or the end of the toot in order to make it searchable.
People who arrived here from Twitter are using a bunch of hashtags, most of those are words inside the sentences they're writing.
Sometimes there's even more hashtags than actual words...

I'm not sure about this approach, it may just be me, since I'm not used to this style.
But I feel that tagging the toot with a couple categories at the end is better:
- it makes the toot more readable
- the categories are immediately recognizable
- you don't have to use specific words in your sentence just for the tagging

In my #opinion #hashtags in a #sentence are #awful

Please boost this post if you would like the EFF to join the fediverse.

In a survey the EFF sent me, I suggested they create an account on the fediverse, so they can reach more supporters and support innovative free software that promotes interoperability among platforms, something they've advocated for in the past, too.

If you can boost this post, maybe I'll be able to show them that there are quite a few users who would like them here!

The EFF is the infamous nonprofit organisation that fights for privacy, government transparency, and digital freedom. Their fight is very important, and the EFF is very special to me. https://www.eff.org/about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Frontier_Foundation

In the meantime, you can follow @eff, which is an unofficial mirror of their Twitter.

Looks good -- April 11th

I made this sheet metal box with hand tools -- I've never made anything out of sheet metal before, it took about 30 minutes using shears, a long brake, a finger brake, pop riveter and seamer.

Al final como nombre de DJ voy a poner mi nombre real y listo.

Por cierto, que seguro que me lo decís, no, no tengo activada la opción de quantize porque estoy practicando y quiero tener mayor libertad, por eso tengo que hacer correciones en los hot cues.

Chavaleeeeeeeeeees he subido una sesión de música house a mi cuenta de Mixcloud.

Todavía tengo muchos fallitos, pero me molaría, si os gusta el house y tal, que me diérais feedback y qué os ha parecido.

Espero que os mole

Cervecita para celebrar mi primera sesión

Some of you may have noticed a new option "Explore" appear on your Mastodon instance.

Clicking on Explore brings up these four tabs:

"Posts" - The most shared recent posts as seen from your instance

"Hashtags" - The most shared recent hashtags as seen from your instance (trending hashtags are moderated by your instance admin to prevent spam/abuse)

"News" - The most shared recent news items (trending news sources are also moderated by your instance admin to prevent spam/abuse)

"For You" - Recommended accounts to follow, based on how many people from your instance follow these accounts

This feature is brand new and may not be visible on Mastodon instances running slightly older versions of the software.

@mattcropp Did you see the article by @ntnsndr and Julia Rodrigues? https://jeodonline.com/jeod_articles/scaling-co-operatives-through-a-multi-stakeholder-network-a-case-study-in-the-colorado-solar-energy-industry/

Social.Coop, like all Mastodon instances, is what you make it by following, favoriting, boosting, listing, and above all tooting, replying, and DMing. Every player is a conductor.

For me, about 30% of the content involves some kind of ongoing engagement in conversations about collective action of one kind or another: cooperatives, commons, social.coop itself, and various projects. So Mastodon is serving as an organizing center as well as a very permeable community of interest and affection.

Este tipo va a entrevistas de trabajo por hobby. Todas las intenta rechazar diciendo que el salario no es competitivo.

Fijo que a más de uno le ha ayudado a conseguir mejores condiciones.
