Let's say it all together now:

A fingerprint is a username, not a password

You can now search for #Hashtags with #mastoview and choosing if you want to get only results from one instance or its federated results.

This morning at a yard sale I met an older woman clearing out her home, with her daughter and granddaughter helping.

We talked about her Chilean father working for a copper company and she passed on to me three little pieces he had given her, handmade. Her daughter laughed about being made to polish them as as a kid.

Life is short. Things outlive us.

A new paper I worked on describes how Discord moderators build innovative solutions to scaling problems with tools from their past experience w/ Reddit as guides & templates. The work was led by Charlie Kiene w/ Aaron Jiang. #CSCW2019 https://mako.cc/copyrighteous/how-discord-moderators-build-innovative-solutions-to-problems-of-scale-with-the-past-as-a-guide

Friendly reminder: this isn't Twitter.

If you're mad about something? Use a content warning.

If you want to write a long post? Use a content warning.

Don't share screenshots of toots that make you mad, and don't follow people that make you mad.

You've left the swirling fire vortex of rage birdsite created to keep investors and advertisers happy. Live free! Live well 👍

#MastoTip: After you post something with some specific hashtag, take a moment to see who else has posted under that tag previously.

Maybe there's not much. Maybe there is. Pleasant suprise is pleasant.

something that we don't like about modern chat apps is that they try to force people into constant live interaction where they're expected to reply right that instant

after all they've got to keep people constantly interacting with the platform to gather analytics

where with irc we could reply to things within the next 30 hrs like email & it's not seen as weird or negative cause that's literally the culture of irc

& we will absolutely bring that to other platforms even when the expectations are different cause that communication model works for us

Three protocols and a future of the decentralized internet

"software developers should not be afraid to mix, match, and layer protocols. There is no rule that says you can't do this, yet I've noticed people picking one protocol and sticking to it out of some kind of loyalty. When really, as a developer, your loyalty should be to your values of an open, decentralized internet, whatever those are"
