Is there any way to post a message SOLELY to your local timeline? That would be pretty cool.
Here's an article about fun bot makers leaving Twitter. Both @aparrish and I are interested in it. https://slate.com/technology/2018/08/twitters-new-developer-guidelines-might-end-fun-bot-accounts.html
The thing to remember is that at some point in recent past nobody knew what e-mail was and people had to learn about. And before that personal computers were new and folks had to learn how to use them.
Not everything can be reduced to what you already know! Mastodon requires a tiny bit of extra knowledge because it differs from other social media platforms.
@Gargron whenever people use the argument that mastodon is somehow "too complicated" I like to encourage them to do a web search for "how to use facebook." there's like a gazillion tutorials, videos, online classes, training seminars, etc. the alternatives aren't inherently less complicated—it's just that tech folks have come to accept the way they work as the "default" and so that complication is invisible to them.
Expecting a lot of new Micro.blog users over the next few weeks. This week: Twitter mismanages how to deal with Alex Jones and Infowars. Next week: Twitter streaming API gets shut down for third-party developers.
@aaronpk There is a tweet import! But I want to rethink it, because often importing thousands of tweets kind of overwhelms the normal blog posts. I may disable it until I can separate tweets out better.
