Did you know that if you capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag, #ScreenReaders can read them as words, but if you leave them lowercase, they can't? Well, now you know! So, for #accessibility, please capitalize words when there's more than one in a hashtag.

For all it's advantages and faults, #Mastodon was not built to be a *new* Twitter. It was built to be *not* Twitter.

That distinction is important.

I think I can be sure that I never posted this gem here before:

If anyone ever successfully finds a preserved mastodon vagina, please don't hesitate to reach out, we'd LOVE to see it.

To inaugurate our brand new Mastodon account, we're gonna tell you everything we know (and don't know) about MASTODON VAGINAS. As in the extinct animal, obvs.

Still daylight outside, so a photo from three years ago: Germany, 9th of November, eve of Kristallnacht, around the corner from my home. 👇 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolpersteine - I am not crying, you are.

On the Icelandic fediverse/Mastodon I've started seeing people using the word "tútta" for "toot". "tútta" (pronounced toot-ta) is normally a slang term for a boob/tit.

Please reboob this.

In my opinion, criticisms of mastodon being unusable by the general public are over blown.

Cześć, jestem Hogata. Pracuję w szpitalu psychiatrycznym, jestem psychologiem, w obszarze sądowym i uzależnień. Uważam, że większość problemów świata rozwiązałby radykalny szacunek i empatia. Miarą czlowieczenstwa jest traktowanie najbardziej wrażliwych. Mieszkam z rodziną, w tym z kotem i papugą. Lubię kino i muzykę, też czytam i mam ogródek w ramach ROD.
Bardzo mi miło tu być, podoba mi się przyjazna komunikacja i szacunek oraz sama idea takiej platformy. Dziękuję za przyjęcie!
#introduction

Dzisiejszy tekst o Mastodon w Dzienniku Gazecie Prawnej wkrótce będzie otwarty. Będzie też poprawiona grafika i w ogóle wszystko. Jestem pod wrażeniem sprawności redakcji, bo pierwszy raz przy #cyberpolityka to obserwuję. A z doświadczenia też wiem, że bywa różnie.

Hello world! Seems like Mastodon is where the most people in my circle are jumping so figured I'd better get here too. Might mostly lurk for a while but figured for my first post I'd share some highlights of one of my passions - taking pictures, especially of birds! #photography #birds

I'm really not worried about Mastodon scaling issues at all.

When I left Twitter in 2008, we had roughly twice as many users as the current combined Mastodon network, all running on one MySQL server that had the same specs as a high-end 2013 MacBook Pro, plus roughly 10 web servers and 5 queue servers.

To be fair, growth wasn't as rapid, and we had local-infra advantages over federated systems, but these problems are solvable and I have no doubt will be fixed soon.

*Hugops to all admins!*

The art of camouflage is very important when you live close to the EU's eastern border. Masza, of the pack, is so good at it that we sometimes call her Mashkirovka.
