More not knowing how Mastodon works 

Is there a way to see all and only things which I have posted myself? On the birbsite I can search on "from:@myhandle"; is there some rough equivalent here? (Most specifically, not including boosts since I boost far more than I post.)

Looking for a unique name for your baby or pet? Don't like them very much? Look no further than Philadelphia's tax lists in the 1760s and 1770s.

Among these names are Yort Ebert, Marmaduke Owner, and Bodo Otto.

A much too long thread...

Oregon is the first state to make health care a constitutional right.
Voters passed Ballot Measure 111, giving every Oregonian a right to "cost-effective, clinically appropriate and affordable health care."
This is how Canada's national system started--with just one province. Don't say it can't be done!

So... the main page says you aim to have "a clear dispute process for remediating mistaken blocks", but then there's no other mention of that anywhere that I can see.

Shouldn't the dispute resolution process be in place BEFORE you start advising people to block entire servers?

Possibly you aren't even reading this, of course, since I'm on a blocked server. And there's no way to dispute the block. I guess?

qoto.org tends to get blocked just because some people are annoyed by the main mod's discussion style, as far as I can tell.

Exactly what "🐸🥝 friendly" is supposed to mean, I don't know. If you look at the local feed you won't see that kind of thing. qoto is moderated, but tends not to ban other entire servers; is that considered a sin worthy of being banned itself?

@shoq

What / Which Chrome's New Feed Reader is that?

So, I'm 90% sure I"m going to go with an Android phone of some kind. I had to ditch my S21+ today because it just won't hold a charge for more than an hour or so. So I'm using the iPhone I have on hand. It will give me a good test to see if I want to go back to iOS and the Apple Watch. What do y'all use?

Pyramid Of Eyes
© Surazeus
2016 10 15

When the handless clown steals your secret eyes,
and leaves you wandering blind on market street,
will you wear your scarlet Superman cape
and fly to heaven with eagles and jets?
We gather on the pyramid of eyes
to feast on the lost dreams of conquered tribes.

Semi-regular reminder that I have a newsletter (it's where most of my writing is) and it'd be awesome if you all subscribed to it: readtpa.com/p/tpa-weekly-recap

Last chance, fill in this consultation on trans healthcare as the NHS is trying to harm trans kids even more.

They're proposal say that kids shouldn't be allowed to wear skirts without a dr's approval and even pretends that trans people are not protected by the equality act! Outrageous from a medical document.

Things were simpler in ancient times. If you saw a cool bird, you could tell that story for weeks

One thing I appreciate as a relatively poor person is people putting gently used items on their lawns/front of driveways for an organic redistribution of small and randomly useful items.

Last week I found 4 large-sized plain white plates that perfectly match the 4 plain white bowls I found elsewhere a month or so back, and yesterday I scored a really nice little ceramic teapot just the right size to hold a couple of cups of tea worth of liquid.

I find street gifts incredibly cheering.

I may be naïve, but why wouldn't they survive? Do you mean just recently set up ones, whose maintainers might decide it wasn't for them after all? Established ones can just cut off new users if they're getting too full or too much traffic, can't they? I would think server load would scale about linearly with users on the server, so that works?
