Just decided to ditch birdsite for the next week completely. Kudos to @blinry for the idea!

here's wot I wrote about Mastodon which I guess no one cares to talk about http://www.spot.ph/newsfeatures/the-latest-news-features/69860/what-mastodon-social-network-a1633-20170417
Sometimes awkward situations happen. Sometimes you fall out of love. Sometimes the gits hate on .
Remember that each instance is not just deployed software, they are communities. You can shape the culture of each instance to your liking. At least set ground rules so everyone behaves.
Believe me, if you ignore the fact your instance has a culture, the culture will form around you. Better you keep your hands in there too
"The history of the political activities of men proves that they have given him absolutely nothing that he could not have achieved in a more direct, less costly, and more lasting manner. As a matter of fact, every inch of ground he has gained has been through a constant fight, a ceaseless struggle for self-assertion, and not through suffrage. There is no reason whatever to assume that woman, in her climb to emancipation, has been, or will be, helped by the ballot."

because i read with my own two eyes an op-ed saying that the first couple waves of mastodon users were people who "couldn't handle opposing viewpoints" let me break it down for those who haven't figured it out yet:
it's not that we can't handle opposing viewpoints, it's that all of y'all keep treating being an asshole like some sort of ironic coolguy thing to do and we all find you insufferable and none of us can stand being around you
