@ohmyrichard did something new happen with the birdsite?
@fuzzwolf I keep wanting to call toots boosts, and say "reboosted" for retweets.
@fuzzwolf @teirandragon yay! We can double team him now :D

@joabaldwin @AdalwinAmillion it depends of they want to be the centaur of attention, I guess.
@scriabinjots @indy congrats!

@tilton yeah, same. It's why I didn't delete my account outright and just purged all my tweets instead. I have hope he'll crash, burn, and some other company will pick it up to unfuck everything he's done.

@tilton it's a thing from japan mainly. 1 means big dicks, and 8 means chubby. From what I understand.
Mastodon tech musings
Mastodon is like email. But not because of the inbox/outbox concept, which some people focus on! It's like the early days of email when anyone could spin up their own email server on their own domain or hop on a friend's server. (HT lycanthrope.net!)
You could exchange messages with any other email server out there, but you also had to deal with the spam: blacklists, whitelists, and the sheer volume as spam levels grew exponentially.
Gmail rose to dominate because it figured out email well in a couple crucial areas: it's really good at managing spam for you, and it had some UI/UX concepts that were a great improvement over the basics (like threading messages while hiding inline reply text).
It'll be interesting to see how Mastodon evolves to handle the similar challenges that will undoubtedly arise as its popularity and usage increases.
