I'm leaving #Twitter for the time being. I'll keep the account around, but that's it. No more posts, and I uninstalled the app. I'll stick to #Mastodon for now!

Goodbye Twitter

I've used Twitter almost as long as the channel has existed, but I'm done with it for now. Here's why!

On CCN now. A number of CNN staff have been suspended too. One was re the jet thingies.

There's a new groups system for the Fediverse called chirp.social. More info at:

➡️ chirp.social

You can join a group by following the group account. You can post to the group by @-ing the group account, which then reposts that to all its other followers

It is similar to the existing a.gup.pe system, but chirp.social allows a group manager to delete posts and ban people from the group.

It works on all Fediverse platforms including Mastodon.

Build Your Own Decentralized Twitter, Part 3: Hello Mastodon - The New Stack

David Eastman continues his tutorial series on developing a decentralized Twitter. This week, he examines Mastodon's federated approach.

Hello @Friendica Developers @Friendica Support @friendica-dev.mbbit.de/profile… Hello dear community, I would like to discuss with you about the appearance of posts with multiple images on #Friedica. Here is my opinion:
The current way multiple #images are displayed is awful:

Yeah, you saw it by my embedded examples your self. What bothers me most is:

• It just looks messy (especially when there is a mix of landscape and portrait format)
• Besides the aesthetics, multiple images take a lot of room (when you do not use an add-on like show more)

My suggestion on which I would love to hear your opinion is to use a grid format like on #mastodon:

I would pitch a suggestion by adding a PR for a (from my point of view) "better" appearance based to this
tutorial. I do not like to use JS in general and would leave it out by determine the suited amount of columns in the backend.

But before I invest time on that, I want to hear your feedback. Thank You!

I've created a feature comparison table for various #Mastodon #iOS clients:

Is there an instance for #astrophotography on #Mastodon ?

I'm literally asking for a friend #space #photography

@Mastodon @Gargron
“A number of servers are starting to block Mastodon.social as it is nearly unmoderated due to its size.”

Is this a factual statement?

@GovTrack@mastodon.social Yep, true for a lot of people. Fortunately you can migrate, even if (I think) posts don't go with you.

^{PHP Community on Mastodon}

#Mastodon no es solo una red social alternativa, sino un paradigma completamente distinto, y gracias a las oleadas migratorias previas ya hay suficiente masa crítica para una experiencia de red social completa.

I just made an new Mastodon instance focused on #neuroscience at synapse.cafe . I'd like this to be a cozy space to discuss the wonders of the brain, from cells to thoughts. If you do research in neuroscience or even have a general interest in it, come by and check it out!

#instance #mastodon

Synapse Cafe

A Mastodon instance for anyone interested in neuroscience, from cell biology to electrophysiology to behavior to clinical applications, anyone is welcome!

^{Mastodon hosted on synapse.cafe}

Going to show a little vulnerability here and share this work-in-progress.

I'm trying to put what I'd like to have as a purpose for my instance in writing.

It really sounds like a pipe dream to be honest, and I think an instance's purpose should be so clear that it can be put in a single sentence.

Does this sound like something that would be possible, interesting and doable to you?

Hello new people! 👋

I run a human-curated directory of interesting accounts to follow on here:

➡️ fedi.directory

Do you have an account that posts a lot about a particular topic? Would you like to be listed in the directory?

If so, @ me or send me a DM and let me know!

(The site only went live a few days ago so some topics are less populated than others, but this is why I am working on expanding it!)

Boosts appreciated :blobcat:

"What can people do to help Mastodon if they like your ideas?

I would say contribute to the Patreon for the server that your account is on. These people who are running servers, they're making it happen, and it's them who should be receiving people's support."

The Man Behind Mastodon, Eugen Rochko, Built It for This Moment

People fleeing Twitter have turned to Eugen Rochko’s alternative. He says social networks can support healthy debate—without any one person in control.

What happens when you have your own Mastodon instance (just for you) where over 21,000 people follow you and when you’re following over 4,300 people?

You end up paying ~€50/month for Mastodon hosting 👀

It also opens up interesting questions: what happens when a popular account joins your instance (hint: it will probably cost the instance maintainers quite a bit… I don’t envy the mastodon.nu folks right now).

"Featured hashtag editor replaces camel case by lower case"
github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i…

Currently, when adding a featured hashtag to your profile, if you use camelcase (e.g. MastodonCats) it gets lowercased (e.g. mastodoncats), which isn't great for #accessibility / #a11y.

If you're into it, click through to the Github issue to add your 👍 or comment of support. And if you don't have a Github account but still want to support, please boost. 🚀
