@leo I think because you banned/blocked whoever it was, this toot isn’t linked to the content in question anymore 😅 nevertheless, good advice! The reason Mastodon isn’t as toxic as the bird site is because moderators are active and involved—curating for civility, not engagement numbers.

@helder pixelfed is great because it’s also on the Fediverse! You can boost posts from your Pixelfed on Mastodon, people can follow you regardless of which Fediverse app/service they use, etc.So while it’s purpose built for pictures, it’s also closer than ever to your Mastodon presence and the connections you’ve already made.

@helder Have you gotten into their beta mobile apps? Much much easier in my opinion (though some like going direct through browser).Apple (through TestFlight): https://testflight.apple.com/join/5HpHJD5lAndroid: https://dl.apps.pixelcdn.net/pixelfed-android-beta/pixelfed-android-v1.0.0.1.apk

@helder it’s @tswan@pixelfed.social — I’m not huge on photography so I won’t be sharing a lot honestly.

@helder @geekaren @rhedreen reminds me of the UI mishap in 2013! https://www.nhregister.com/connecticut/article/UI-letter-accidentally-directs-customers-to-call-11430496.php

Yesterday, someone in our org deleted an entire production k8s cluster. Not a single container or deployment, not a server or node…just the entire cluster, poof, gone.After we rebuilt everything, we held a post mortem where we dug into what he did, why he thought it was safe, and how we got to where we are. And yet, with 5 pages of notes on things we could change or improve, one thing was clearly not present in our list… 🧵#IT #culture #BlamelessCulture #K8s #kubernetes

Since I made so many new connections yesterday I feel obliged to make a shameless plug/request for a boost…https://nutmeg.social is a regional Mastodon instance for #Connecticut, also known as the #NutmegState :nutmeg:The Internet brings the world closer together, but in some ways that drives our local communities apart! Regional instances allow us to make the web a little bit smaller again.Come join us to talk about local news and events—and maybe a meet up this year?

@Coachmark keep me updated on what you’ve tried, what works well and what doesn’t! I’m working on a FAQ for our instance and would like to give info on app/frontend options.

We all sort of knew Gaetz wouldn’t let the vote reach 18, right?

@helder @Coachmark @Connecticutting unfortunately the developer abandoned it so it won’t support any new features/functionality that come to Mastodon. It’s still my favorite, but other apps are catching up and getting feature parity.I love Metatext but can’t recommend it without a big red flag attached at this point 😔

@helder @Coachmark @Connecticutting I think they had personal issues and needed to focus on themselves—self care is important!On iOS the promising apps coming up are Mammoth by @JPEGuin and @ivory, both doing beta testing so you probably have to follow and wait til they announce new slots. Also lots of good web-based ones like https://elk.zone and https://fe.soapbox.pubI love Ivory but it doesn’t support our beloved custom emojis yet! Apparently that’s really difficult to implement…

@helder @Coachmark @Connecticutting @JPEGuin @ivory the official mastodon app good, but it’s missing two big features in my opinion: the federated timeline and unlisted posts.Without the federated timeline it’s a bit harder to discover new people—which is why (I think) lots of folks quit Mastodon early on!

I know most of my followers aren’t into #DnD but this is a big deal:Dungeons & Dragons was built on the Open Gaming License, which allowed creators to build on and expand the game we love for 20+ years. This let creators write new adventures, tell new stories, and even make D&D digital during the pandemic.Parent company Hasbro is trying to close the license and stifle creators unless they pay 25% tax.Can we get more signatures on https://opendnd.games ?https://mastodon.social/@randfish/109661808207304681

This isn’t just a company saying “you can’t build off our new IP”This is a company saying, “remember that promise we made 23 years ago? That you could build on our world, grow with us, and it would be free forever? Yeah…never mind. Pay up, or throw away everything you’ve done.”They’re trying to invalidate the original license agreement, to retroactively get a piece of the pie. They’re going to ruin people’s livelihoods.If they said “any new games are private IP”, fine. This is much worse.
