Going home for the night. Gotta charge the kitten battery! Great to see everyone tonight at @xoxo!
See you all tomorrow morning for the IndieWeb/Mastodon meetup at Cup & Bar at 8:30! https://xoxofest.com/2019/schedule/ -
Twitter's UX and 'bullying' (natdudley.com)"it’s horrible to be on the receiving end of the deluge, and it’s also not all that nice to be accused of bullying when you were actually let down by bad design."

Introducing Pico (blog.bellebcooper.com)"Personally, I don't like Twitter at all anymore. I don't like memes, or internet culture, or silly jokes, or random thoughts from random people. That's the stuff that Twitter—and now Mastodon—is great at, but it's not what I want.
Trying Mastodon led me to trying Micro.blog again, and I've found that I've settled into it more easily this time." -

"In trying to satisfy a spike of new users, Mastodon broke the cardinal rule of social media: it separated them into silos and made it hard if not impossible for them to all socialize. This unfortunate design makes Mastodon feel more like a bunch of chat rooms rather than a cohesive, growing social network."
"User handles do show up in Toots (blech!) but not in the URLs for users' Mastodon homepages. Giving users numbers (mine is 995) instead of identifiable website addresses makes Mastodon feel amateurish."
"If you can't find people by name, then how can you follow them on Mastodon? Someone in one local Mastodon timeline may not appear in another (Sorry, Mr. Shatner)."
"There is no one app called Mastodon. Instead, you can find a Github list of apps for the open-source project. Apps like the iOS-based Amaroq let you log into any of the many Mastodon "instances" by typing in the name. Nope, there's no list of instances because I don't think anyone knows just how many Mastodon instances are out there."

I am also @mdhughes@mastodon.weaponsvac.space for OSR RPGs.I don't know what the best model for this is, an account on every instance you're interested in, so you can read local?
@mdhughes It's fascinating to me that this behavior is emerging. Clearly there is a desire to read the local timelines for specific communities. I'd like to see this happen without needing to create new identities for each. (Obviously if you *want* a new identity that should be possible too)
