I don’t miss Twitter and I definitely don’t miss Facebook. However, I did miss most of the conversations yesterday on my micro.blog feed because I was traveling. It didn’t take long for that to become important to me.

As a non-techy person, I need yall to understand: just because you *hope* your technology won't be used for harassment, spam, and abuse doesn't mean assholes won't find a way. You need reporting tools. You need to safeguard for your users.

Get it through your thick fucking skulls already.

We generally think about language as a THING: letters, sounds, signs. But little bits of silence or invisibility are found surprisingly often in language.

Twitter is like the 9-5 job you fucking hate.
Mastodon is like coming home, wrapping yourself up all nice and cozy in tinfoil and then getting in the microwave and blowing yourself up tae fuck

I want ActivityPub (and the likes) to evolve to a point where I can have something like @aaronpk has on his personal site as https://aaronparecki.com/aaronpk

@smith There are a few APIs. We're considering it! But also want to make sure any support for Mastodon stays true to what Micro.blog is about. Probably won't rush into anything until the dust settles.
