@KawaSeadrake I'm so happy with it!!! :D :D :D

And it's only gonna get better. ^^

@kel@witches.town here's a better idea picture of the gradient!

@kel@witches.town My phone's camera really doesn't do it justice. It's a gradient of sorts between magenta and a blue-ish purple. ^^

Gateway station's media room is officially in open beta. The launch went astoundingly well. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

@pnathan Oh heck I'd never want to actually run a public Twitter clone. Just provide an API endpoint so connected devices can still put their content somewhere. It'd require folks to re-register accounts of course, and it wouldn't be hosting content for public consumption, so I think the overhead would be massively reduced.

@starkatt @indi Ha! :D

The one I had to deal with a lot was Kaiser. Years ago they didn't have any way of flagging trans folks, so when I got my gender marker changed to F in their system, suddenly they were sending me angry reminders that I was WAY overdue for my pap smear, and going so far as to forcibly schedule me for one.

That was an awkward phone call. XD

@indi I've had that interaction before as well. XD I've found the most effective way to defuse it is "Oh, I don't have a uterus."

After that it's a 50/50 chance of a followup question that generates awkwardness. ^^;;;

TIL: the element cobalt is named after kobolds.

No, really: the compound in which cobalt is most commonly found was called "kobold ore" by miners.

@abbenm I think that would very quickly grow to an unmanageable size. I'd recommend just an API end-point for Twitter integrations that can redirect content to other Mastodon instances. That way you can post to your preferred instance. ^^

@Ronflaix I don't know if that'd be a great plan honestly; I think that'd get overloaded quickly. I think it would work best as a pointer/redirect service to point at whichever instance your account lives on. That way you could post from your Twitter enabled device to any Masto instance you like! ^^

Hello! This is your <interval> reminder that I'm a ✨plush✨!
