tech bloggers: mastodon is open source and allows 500 characters

me: mastodon is very queer and my friend

my forbsesona is named Jared he eats a plain unsliced bagel on his UberPool to work every day and he NEVER gets crumbs on his button-up

Asking marginalized groups to olive branch with people who hate them or agress towards them is an aggression

Thinking about cultural assumptions in starship architecture.

Would a generation ship designed by Muslims have designated prayer rooms with gyroscopic floors that orient themselves toward Earth?

I imagine Hindu or Shinto starship designers would include niches for shrines right from the start.

A Chinese long-voyage ship could re-institute the lunar calendar since there's no sun to deal with any more.

I got bit by a radioactive web spider and then out of nowhere I started spinning up servers and migrating databases

In summary:
- information on the server (including the DMs you send) are unencrypted.

- the person who runs your mastodon instance has access to the server and CAN access this unencrypted info. They may do this intentionally or by accident during maintenance.

- this is common across ALL messaging services, but since Mastodon servers can be small, it's easier to do than it would be on other services.

Be aware and toot safely, thanks for everyone who contributed! :sunglasses:

@nolan personally when I first heard about Mastodon what I felt can probably be described as a "cynical disdain".

"Oh another one of these, I wonder how long this will last"

We've been trapped in Facebook and Twitter for so long, we've forgotten about the dream.

Hot take: the reason a lot of techies are upset about Mastodon is that it's the first pure and beautiful thing our industry has produced in like 5 years

boost to make me even gayer (hah you can't)
