Woah - German government has got its own Mastodon instance and most of the ministries and many agencies already have accounts.
Verification problem at least partially solved - just need to check the domain is right!
I've also seen newspapers like theatlantic.com set up instances themselves. Looks like verification will be worked out sooner or later.

@SOB2 Hey, sorry if the reading of my comic strip is "superiority". That wasn't my intent. 😔
In fact, this morning, my TL on Tw was full of threads crypto/nfts/AI/web3 influencer against "mastodon complexity". An irony in regards of their topic.
So, that's why I sketched this strip, mostly about people not doing the effort or low effort and then using a pretext of "bad UX" , "Complexity" or anything else to justify their final behavior: keep Twitter and trying to influence other to do so too.

#clojure tooling gets a lot of leverage out of @graalvm native-image nowadays:

https://github.com/babashka/babashka - scripting, fast startup
https://github.com/clj-kondo/clj-kondo - linting, static analysis
https://github.com/borkdude/jet - jq for clojure (EDN, Transit, JSON)

Since almost all Mastodon #instances that I used to recommend to friends (like chaos.social) have closed or limited registration amid the current user influx, I've decided to once again start operating a general-purpose one at https://ohai.social. I intend to keep it running long-term and it follows the Server Covenant outlined at https://joinmastodon.org/covenant. Feel free to invite friends there!

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.

Meta is in fire. They just sacked 11,000 staff. That's 1/8 of their workforce.

What's more, Zuckerberg insists on investing further in the metaverse—he's fiddling while Rome burns. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/nov/09/mark-zuckerberg-meta-to-sack-11000-workers-after-revenue-collapse-facebook-instagram

Asking the wider fediverse: is there a reliable 3rd party scheduler that allows you to include images with alt text?
