Taking a break, for at least two weeks, from #social #apps completely. #Mastodon is a lot more addictive than #twitter in my opinion because there are so many obscure #servers and #instances to discover. And this place is gonna be a lot noisier than usual for a while, and probably #discord and #tiktok as well.
“Being ok with sucking at something while learning” is an extremely undervalued skill.
As is “being happy for people that are better than you”.
Super important for
- learning how to code
- learning a new language
- art, music, podcasting, cooking
- really everything.
Don’t forget to teach your kids these skills.
Also, demonstrate these behaviors.
Let your kids see you being bad at something and not giving up and staying positive.

32 years ago today Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau emailed colleagues outlining a proposal for a hypertext project that they dubbed "World Wide Web".

@molly0xfff IBM were paying coders by the line in the mid '80s, right around the time they released OS/2. And just look how well they're doing today in the personal computer and PC operating system market...
@NewtonMark They haven't figured out yet that mastodon.social is the stamping grounds for the OGs of the elephant app.
@stevelord @eloquence Three other things I'm 99.9% sure is happening right now is:
1) Social media consultants are already figuring out why their clients need a Mastodon presence right now.
2) A consultant will say the following within the next 24 hours: "Oh yes, a major brand like yours definitely needs its own instance. Let me help guide your journey on that."
3) Social media marketing managers within big brands are gearing up "authentic engagement" strategies.
You will also hear some variation on the phrase "Mastodon users are tech-savvy and particularly oriented to grassroots forms of community, so it's important to make sure your brand/engagement/message is authentic" within the next year.
Taking a sabbatical from all social apps for the time being. Later, guys
