@Are0h sounds interesting, can you make some recommendations? Not sure how to find those voices.

@Are0h what I don't understand from the discussion is why trending hashtags lead to more abuse. I understand that hashtags in general, and being able to search for them allows harassers to find targets. But, what I don't get is how a trending list impacts that.

For instance, I don't think the trending list on Twitter has many of the hashtags that harassers are using to search.

@faissaloo we need to figure out how to make a meme-first user experience, then we can rule the world! 😉

Got this shipping notification for 250lbs. of t-shirts for Texas Linux Fest. If you're in the Austin area or willing to travel there come join us next weekend! I'd like to come home with significantly less than an eighth ton of t-shirts.

@marsxyz I actually don't have an Instagram account, but I get your point. Do you think that some people will "leave" Mastodon and use primarily their PixelFed account?

@n8 I had someone in HR explain to me that my issue was probably because they changed the graphics some and that change was sometimes difficult.

Seeing lots of people with Mastodon accounts making #PixelFed accounts. How do you plan to use them? Pictures one place text the other? Have one re-toot the other?

I definitely understand the appeal of a photo-first user experience but I'm unsure how to make multiple accounts make sense.

@xuv thinking about doing the same.

@n8 oh, man, the problem with that name is I can't decide on an "end" pun.

Not looking forward to my kids hitting the teenage years. — http://existentialcomics.com/comic/239

Looking at old documents and people are using two-digit years in dates. Didn't anyone tell them about the year 1900 problem!?!?

@federicomena it can't figure out the new versioning scheme either 😜

@torgo you can search for it, but there's a rather heated discussion about that instance when it was setup. They block all kinds of IPs, so most instances can't federate with them.

It seems like they're more interested in having their own social network rather than participating in something larger.

Oh, so the best way to control my privacy is to create a Google Account?

Google, you keep using that word "privacy", I do not think it means what you think it means.

@n8 agile conference planning.

@feonixrift @platypus I've been trying to use "my lawyer."

It doesn't bring gender into the statement and it is someone who is non-technical but educated.

If I did punish him, should the punishment be: "proof of work"?

The kids aren't allowed to swear at home. As they were playing balloon baseball one missed and yelled out "Oh, bit.." as he caught himself. Next he said "I meant to say 'Oh, bitcoin!'"

I'm indecisive on whether bitcoin is a swear word and he should be punished.

Researching my family history and found out I have a relative named "Eula" born in the 1930's. My family was clearly ahead of its time. I hope she became a lawyer.
