Seems like a countdown to me.

14:16:31, 14:16:30, 14:16:29, and so on.

Dramatic like a fireball rising up from the crash, not the drama created by the camera and music.

The engine cut was so sudden. I was honestly expecting a more dramatic failure, but still awesome to see reusable rockets steadily becoming the norm.

Tooting the way you’d toot a horn/trumpet, or in this case an elephant trunk.

I can follow and see content from both accounts via the Ice Cubes app.

EDIT: I just realized you can’t see the posts in your timeline. I can only see as far as 2 days ago via my app, so unless you’re able to post an image more recent I can’t help out. Sorry!

I guess this ties into marketing, but I think rebranding the “fediverse” as the “social web” would be a good start. It has a broad neutral tone that I think is easier for regular people to latch on to.

I use it on occasion between Mastodon and Bluesky. My initial reaction was that I needed to organize my follows better so content wasn’t duplicating in the merged feed.

That’s a great point. Here’s the Mastodon donation link in case anyone was interested!

I think I could get behind an instance subscription, granted it wasn’t an obscene amount. I wonder what the upkeep on mastodon.social could be.

The “I told you so” energy would so be incredibly validating to 10 year-old me.

So basically sign-in with Google?

The government could control social media on their own instance, sure.

I think having government accounts come from an official instance would garner more trust in the platform.

Maybe next year we could reserve the center of the canvas to a fediverse logo to distinguish it from other canvas-like projects.

Definitive proof is harder to dismiss than an old wives tale.

“They [cats] engaged less in sleeping, eating and playing but more in seeking attention from humans and other pets, hiding, spending time alone and appearing to look for their lost companions,”

My old cat and dog used to fight constantly. One day we had to put down our dog and the cat howled for days cause his sparring partner was suddenly gone. Whether the cat was lonely or legitimately grieving, I couldn’t say, but the experience certainly was eye-opening.

Looking forward to catching up on architecture and design blogs that never made the full migration to Mastodon.

I tried it out—it’s ok. Seems a little laggy on my end overall.

The words “Ukraine” and “nuked” should probably be used with special care at this particular moment in history.

Not even close—it’s Skype! We aren’t able to teach a 98yo great grandma to use something else from overseas, so Microsoft gets the cake.
