CW - "Mastodon Culture" 

I would suggest - exercise your own empathy muscle, use CW and build the habit within your own awareness.

BUT....

It is not for you, or me, or any mod or admin, to demand or enforce it's use ***particularly*** of anyone for whom such a demand might be oppressive.

what do you do if you think someone else "missed" applying a CW?

Move along. Mute or block them if they disturb you. While it's nice to apply the courtesy yourself, we don't REQUIRE it of others. 2/2

I made an AI image of "Darth Vader as a construction worker" and I can't stop laughing how it made his helmet into a hard hat.

When I joined Mastodon, everyone was saying “just pick a server (instance) it doesn’t really matter which one.” I saw Universeodon and thought “hey, that sounds cool!” Turns out it’s literally for people who love planets and space! 😂 Oops!!

I stand by my choice 🌏💫💀🖤

France just legislated that every parking lot for 80 cars or more must be covered by solar panels
That’s 11GW of new solar (same as 10 new nuclear reactors) powering millions of home - zero new land needed
Climate action is happening, just not at #COP27

Probably not a lot of people know this now, but Mastodon's web app started out with "Publish". In 2016 a famous YouTuber jokingly offered to support Mastodon's Patreon forever if I changed the button to say "Toot" instead. Needless to say, this was a really early, and not very informed decision. The first glimpse of attention and financial support. As a non-native speaker I had no idea there was another meaning.

A cryptobro DMed me to ask if I wanted to join his mailing list.

I spent slightly too long making this to send in reply.

I'm gonna keep posting this until one of you fucking boosts it

Just downloaded my archive from the birdsite, so one step closer to winding down that account. 💩 🦉

I always saw the Blue Check as having nothing to do with account verification. There were always better ways to establish account verification.

No, the Blue Check was a simple means to establish a class system of users.

To those who had it, Twitter gave you privileges—created the notion that if you had a Blue Check, you were more important to them.

If you didn't have a Blue Check, then you were just one of the unwashed masses—there to be a pair of eyeballs.

Hullo. So this is Mastodon, eh? Well, I'm here. And to celebrate, here's a photo I took yesterday in Kingston NY of Good Omens director Douglas directing An Unnamed Actor (on the other side of the glass) in Episode 2 of Good Omens Season 2 (Coming Next Summer).

I'm giving moa.party/ another try. It couldn't connect at all when I was on mstdn.jp.

Fingers crossed that I won't mess this up. 🤞
