@amic please do not be rude to our nonbinary icon

thank you @amic for unionizing walmart

bought some shoes from my drug dealer yesterday

idk what he laced them with but i've been tripping all day

maybe the real federation was the friends we made along the way

the gendered emoji sets are hard to identify with. why use "woman shrugging" or "man shrugging" when you could have a generic "shrug" emoji

anyone have any css tweaks they like? i'm compiling a repo for users and admins to import whichever tweaks they wish... #mastoadmin #mastocss

work in progress link: https://github.com/trwnh/mastomods

so first there was https://hiveway.net which folded and disappeared off the face of the earth

then there was https://tri.cash which is still live as a ripoff of misskey, and doesn't release its source code (it just points to misskey's source)

and now we have https://albin.social and its info domains https://joinalbin.com and also https://albinapps.com except they actually released source https://github.com/albinsocial/ (bc they just forked mastodon and tusky)

@deadsuperhero Mainly it's just that the article's authors tend to be mostly unaware of their US-centric biases, and some of their worldview also leaks slightly when they attempt to categorize others.

kinda wild that there are literal scientific papers being written about mastodon now in the same way that scientists research twitter https://www.aaai.org/ocs/index.php/ICWSM/ICWSM18/paper/viewFile/17862/17047

@djsundog With minor exceptions for a few people who are still trying to import Twitter culture, I've been quite happy to see that most of the new people are actually respecting the culture instead of trying to colonize it. It makes me optimistic for the healing ability of this whole thing, as a place to be people, to unlearn bad behaviors imprinted by capital, and to detoxify. Two days of ironic shitposting giving way to earnest and wholesome posts as people slowly get settled in, is beautiful.

@mmn @dansup @bob I think there's a difference between letting 3rd parties build tools vs. building them yourself and packaging them in by default.

For example. some vain Instagram users download apps that show graphs of follows, unfollows, etc. But users have to seek those out and developers have to build those. Should the pixelfed project's official stance be to enable or encourage that use case? Implementation and design will matter.
