there’s no way streaming isn’t losing money hand over fist right now (but hey, i’ll happily pull up a chair and enjoy the show in the meantime)
can’t shake the feeling that i’m getting way too much for way too little though; you’re telling me my shitty lil prime subscription is subsidizing productions of this scale?
@smarkey i just follow people and they repost stuff i guess, slowly but surely i’m adding interesting tooters 😳
Tumblr to add support for ActivityPub, the social protocol powering Mastodon and other apps https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/21/tumblr-to-add-support-for-activitypub-the-social-protocol-powering-mastodon-and-other-apps/
And they mention the word ActivityPub! In the title! In a major article! Not just "Mastodon"!
Wow!
@peterpie123 we don’t need a base there to send him to the moon
@peterpie123 idk this is far more enjoyable
Kinda crazy to refresh and see the y axis change in real time. Note that the typical number of reports this time of day is 13. https://downdetector.com/status/twitter/
A few recommendations for life on Mastodon:
1) Follow anyone you think looks potentially interesting; you can always unfollow later, and they may lead you to new people via boosted posts.
2) Boost posts you think are worthy, so others can discover new content.
3) Don't obsess on replicating your Twitter follows on Mastodon; let it be its own experience, and grow it organically. Obvs follow anyone you miss from Twitter, but this isn't a 1:1 replacement; have fun, follow your instincts.
Holy shit, I'd heard the story that some youtuber paid Eugen to change the button to "toot", but it was hbomberguy?!
genius, model, athlete, virtuoso. joking. he him.
