@kippur *STANDS ON DESK*
I think what I like about this instance is nobody saw witches.town on that public instance list and said "i guess." i assume everyone, like me, read it and chanted "witches town. witch town. WITCH TOWN WITCH TOWN WITCH TOWN" [bangs rhythmically on desk]
@candle TOOTNIGHT
Lots of people talking about the care required to select a #mastodon instance that suits your values and priorities — which I *completely* agree with — but not so many recognising how difficult it is to operate any service with even just a few hundred users, without downtime, being responsive to their technical needs and expectations (which in reality means 24/7 on call), not to mention adequate funding, etc. I expect some instances will crumble in the long term. #Ops is hard, yo.

WHAT THEY EXPECTED: a VC backed startup intending to destroy twitter
WHAT THEY GOT: a bunch of cyberpunk kids hanging out behind the mall

Shoutout to the federated timeline for reminding me that I need to work on my dang French.

witches, what is @Alda's official title? high priestess? grand high witch?
sorceress supreme? mom?
the only apps left alive are the brand-synergizable ones, the advertisables, the algorithmically curated hellscapes that exist to mine value out of their users and every artifact they generate
and a small but widespread guerrilla network of hackers, queer magicians, animal people, and other pals who make weird noises at each other
together these nerds conspire to overthrow Dark Consuls Shatner and Ulanoff
@benhamill @NthTensor @Gargron YES. yes. this seems right. boost them toots.
@benhamill @NthTensor ugh let me think through this... *thinks for a second, gives up, calls @Gargron*
(i think i had it wrong—but it will definitely diversify the federated timeline of YOUR instance, and therefore yours)
she is helping me work tbh
