I think a big obstacle any social media network faces is that it is not the year of our lord two thousand and nine

Zootopia+ easter egg! The box used to say "English Tea," but I kept complaining in every possible meeting that there could be no England there, so it needed fixed. I whined about it so often that Hans—the Head of Environments—just changed it to "Joaquín's Tea."

Why do we say "phoenix" when we could say "Molotov Cockatiel"?

I love that, of all the platforms I've joined this month, this is the only one where I can just post "hi" and actually get interactions on the post.

mastodon meta, maybe pol 

I was going to suggest posts be called "trumpets", but then I remembered how the internet loves to shorten things, and I realized that would be an extremely bad idea...

Unless we called them "ets" that would be cyberpunk and rad as hell.

I need to assemble a #mustelid gang or posse in here, dive deep into the mustelidae fediverse

Another night relaxing w some "holiday spice tea" and some Lebkuchen cookies!

I really, really, really love mastodon. Coming here always makes me feel so good.

To everyone's surprise, Toot! v17.0 is out!

This is the first in a series of releases that implement support for new Mastodon features. More will come in the near future, but this version offers:

* Full support for all new types of notifications in Mastodon 4.0, including admin notifications.
* Updated to use more modern versions of various iOS functionality. As a result, however, the minimum supported iOS version is now 13.
* Bugfixes.

social media drama 

There’s all this fighting over where “everyone should go,” people making all kinds of value judgments about one service over another, one posting style or another, and so. Much. Drama.

FFS, people. Use the service you like, or no service at all. Social media is not musical chairs where you have to jump on one before the music stops. None of it is permanent, almost all of it is half-baked, and every system that has or will exist is going to be gamed to cause harm by bad actors.

I'm so glad Mastodon doesn't show likes... this was always so heart wrenching. I was guilty of it myself, but this place doesn't seem to call for it. It's got a much better vibe.

One of the easter eggs in the third party #Mastodon app Toot! for iPhone/iPad is the ability to play ”TooterBall” with profile pictures of follows/followers.
