i posted a link to their manifesto on twitter. good thing I led with screenshots!

someone in the replies said they could see it for a few minutes when I posted it, but now it just shows up as "unavailable"

discovered i can use the green screen feature in the yt shorts app with a photo backdrop to pretend i am petting my cat, udon (3ft away irl)

the best thing you could do for your artist follows on twitter right now is not just finding their other social media, but finding their patreons

Let me preface this by saying: I'm pretty sure mastodon will tick along, much like usenet, myspace, IRC, bebo, orkut, livejournal, or even dreamwidth as long as there's an admin with enough spare cash and time. It obviously works for some people, and I can't deny that.

On the other hand, the illustrious technical aim of a purely federated world being the dominant form of social network just seems a little naive at the best of times, given past examples.

This post is about the social and the technical problems with a federated model.
