@jlamos They are. Sometimes it's an adventure to find out how it will all come together.

I told a friend this, and they were 'don't you know this ahead of time'. And, yes, I DO have a plan.

But still sometimes as you write you realise there's an angle or element you can work in that will pay off organically, so you change your plan.

That's ALWAYS so exciting!

Hey fellow mastodon n00bs!

You may have heard there's no algorithm here. Yes there's no a centrally managed algorithm. BUT:

There *is* an algorithm. It's a function of chronology, your individual following and filtering decisions, and - this part's important - the collective behavior of your first-degree network.

That means YOU are part of EVERYONE ELSE's "algorithm."

Please:
* Boost good stuff
* Set replies "unlisted"
* Use CWs for anything others might want to choose to see or not

It’s funny, many of the “what you need to know about Mastodon” or “how to learn about the fediverse” pieces are focused on the technology and the implementation, when the hardest thing for people to understand about this context, if they’re used to traditional social media & tech, is that here we have an expectation of _consent_. Consent if you want to be included in a conversation, consent about being amplified, consent in the form of CWs on topics that you want to manage, etc. That’s it! 🎯

Submitting this as evidence for the wonderful ways in which we as a society have chosen to label men like him "geniuses" while 10% of the same behavior in women would be clearly erratic, emotional, and incompetent. 🙃

Thinking today about how mass migration of some of us from Twitter to a new collective (while also feeling grief for [some of] what is left behind) is kind of a statement of hopeful orientation toward future collectives. And that the future might increasingly ask for hopeful nimbleness / the movement required to try and make better worlds.

I promise all the toot jokes have already been made

imagine if Windows decided that everyone would have to pay if they wanted to access the start menu so everyone moved to Ubuntu but needed to explain how it worked to each other

@tripu The four cardinal virtues of stoicism are derived from the virtue ethics of Plato, Aristotle, etc. The Christians did the same (and there even is a Stoic strain of Christianity, look at the beginning of the Gospel of John; "the word" is "logos.")

But; what the Christians added to the mix was the three theological virtues: Faith, Love, and Hope.

I, as an aspiring Stoic, don't see "hope" as a virtue; hope is really the same as fear: I hope I it will be well/I fear that I will not be well.
