@remtwitter.com Yeah, it’s definitely a challenging read. I’m a big fan of his stuff, and worried that the release of Seveneves was a bad sign.

However the latest, Termination Shock, is a corker!

[ @NotTildaSwintontwitter.com ]( https://twitter.com/[@NotTildaSwinton](https://twitter.com/@NotTildaSwinton)twitter.com ) I’m very very much hoping that [ @NotTildaSwintontwitter.com ]( https://twitter.com/[@NotTildaSwinton](https://twitter.com/@NotTildaSwinton)twitter.com ) will become federated across the mastoverse. Seems fitting.

@ClayPipeMusictwitter.com Following you there now. It’s a different vibe there, and takes a little change of expectation.

For anyone else…

Saturday November 5, 2022 - 22:58

@lnr_modelstwitter.com It’s a challenging time for the folks that run mastodon servers. Thousands of people trying it out for the first time, putting pressure on what are effectively community-run services. Keep trying, it’ll settle down soon!

Saturday November 5, 2022 - 22:59

@4m3thy5ttwitter.com I saw a documentary about an architect-designed elder cafe in Japan, years ago, and can’t stop thinking about it. 🤔 Might have to find it…

Saturday November 5, 2022 - 23:04

@4m3thy5ttwitter.com Think this is the place, might have conflated the the architect-designed but with something else… But can’t find much recent about it ..

Saturday November 5, 2022 - 23:15

Please note, many Mastodon and other Fediverse servers are having a significant influx of new people recently, and some of them are not performing optimally. Please be patient, these are nearly all community-run services, and don’t have the resources of big tech.

Sunday November 6, 2022 - 08:55

Remember kids, I was there for the great Twitter meltdown of ‘22. I saw things you never have. The greatest migration of advertisers ever seen. It was kinda beautiful.

Then we sat there amongst the wreckage, quietly, happily, waiting for the end…

@SimoneGiertztwitter.com Soybiscuit?

Sunday November 6, 2022 - 09:30

@JoeSondowtwitter.com The thing you’re “supposed” to care about is the terms of service. What’s going to get you banned on an instance? You follow anyone from anywhere (ish) but if you’re on a strict ’no-nazis’ box, and start goose-stepping, expect to be ousted.

Sunday November 6, 2022 - 10:52

@swardleytwitter.com Elon isn’t random? Money didn’t guarantee an absence of bad actors. Twitter was a small startup once. The logic of “having investors makes you behave” still applies when the capital is social rather than financial. Except now you can swap providers without losing track of friends

Sunday November 6, 2022 - 11:57

@swardleytwitter.com Not convinced the “selling blue ticks” is going to work the way Elon thinks ..

Sunday November 6, 2022 - 15:35

Choosing between ignoring, explaining or defending Mastodon to those who say “I can’t be bothered with another social network” whilst saying things like “follow me on insta, linked in and discord for more updates”

Sunday November 6, 2022 - 15:38

@4m3thy5ttwitter.com Wut?

Sunday November 6, 2022 - 20:38

@jutertwitter.com Yeah, absolutely. Am enjoying the current Twitter show though, like 🫢🍿

Sunday November 6, 2022 - 23:33

Not entirely surprising, but I missed the fact that there’s a Mastodon site for board gamers… Actually loads, but this is one

Sunday November 6, 2022 - 23:41

@richardwcollinstwitter.com It is a different experience (server overloads not withstanding). One has to seek people a little harder, as there’s no recommendation algorithm, and it’s worth following/ searching on hashtags.

Sunday November 6, 2022 - 23:48

Monday November 7, 2022 - 10:52

@edsaperiatwitter.com @evangineertwitter.com @eddowdingtwitter.com The Fedi model kinda makes it hard for advertisers to buy an audience. They’ll need to provide something of actual value.

Monday November 7, 2022 - 17:54

@evangineertwitter.com @edsaperiatwitter.com @eddowdingtwitter.com Absolutely! I’m looking forward to listening to friends without interruption from “important messages”

Monday November 7, 2022 - 17:56

@edsaperiatwitter.com @evangineertwitter.com @eddowdingtwitter.com I think, as with existing social media, some brands will do better than others. There could be some genuinely creative things here. Not everything on the Fediverse has to be Mastodon.

Monday November 7, 2022 - 18:01

@azeemtwitter.com @rightrelevancetwitter.com This is helpful if your followers have put their Fediverse handles in their Twitter profiles

Tuesday November 8, 2022 - 09:10

@wardleymapstwitter.com If you decide to explore Mastodon, I would lean towards running your own instance. Mainly because you can choose ToS, set your own rules, include/exclude other connections etc.

I’m sure some foundation members might be willing to help out. And me 😁

Tuesday November 8, 2022 - 09:12

@joa_pentwitter.com @wardleymapstwitter.com I would say that the platform has matured a lot over the past years. Not perfect, but much much better, since they got the European funding.

Friday November 11, 2022 - 00:08

Ultimately, I don’t understand why people with 5 different social media profiles are looking at Mastodon and going… “Don’t think I’ll try it, it’s not like Twitter”

Neither is Tiktok!

Saturday November 12, 2022 - 00:23

@4m3thy5ttwitter.com They’re in exactly the same league as stock investors. Small investors lose their shirts when markets fail, or when crypto fails. They both have my total sympathy. Gambling is a seductive thing, and crypto pushes all the right buttons.

The scammers however, can do one.

Saturday November 12, 2022 - 08:11

@4m3thy5ttwitter.com Yeah, loads of small investors have small holdings in stocks and shares. Most probably wouldn’t sink their entire savings into one stock, but it does happen. Often when family or friends ask for investment in their business.

To be fair, even gambling is more regulated than crypto.
