Mastodon explained poorly 

A federated time line is kind of like a tin can on a string from one tree house to another. Your treehouse (server) decided the kids in the other treehouse (like awoo . Space) are neat, and they want to hear what they want to say. So they threw them a tin can, and now they can hear anything someone says loud enough.

Since Zootopia is in the "gnus" again … Here's a short sequence I sketched for T'chall (twitter.com/TiChall) of his characters T'chall and Dave visiting some characters hanging out at the Mystic Springs Oasis.

Watching twitter burn in real time is such a weird experience.

Tumblr took weeks to burn down fully and there were a lot of stops and starts, but Husk single handedly ruined an entire business in like a week.

I've heard he wants to be a payment processor now... and I'm just like:

When you see the words "Living orgasm" zoom past your vision on the #FederatedTimeline so you pause and scroll back to find it was "Living organisms"

The sense of disappointment was profound and real and entirely self-inflicted 😂​

I have been freed from the horny jail (the queue) and I can now post on CoHost.

I've seen a bizarre amount of trash-talk lately aimed at people - primarily freelance artists - who have expressed concerns about their ability to maintain an audience on Mastodon, because people shouldn't be trying to "make it" here. Because the Fediverse isn't about "building your brand". Because the "popularity contest" of amassing a Twitter following isn't something to strive for here.

The thing is, freelance artists need to be able to make money to LIVE by selling commissions, and if they have no reach (or ability to grow an audience) because of the way Mastodon works, they *can't* make this their Twitter alternative.

I get it, capitalism sucks and nobody wants The Brands to find the Fediverse to be an acceptable target audience, but y'all are the guy in the well haughtily chiding artists for participating in society. You get that, right? You do understand that there's a difference between Beyonce or Skittles and an independent full-time furry artist just trying to sell commissions at $40 a pop to make rent and needing the ability to reach new fans of their work to do so. Don't you?

I'm up! Hope everyone has a good day today

Remember when we rolled down hills in tyres as children? Those were the Goodyears.
