I think it's glorious that there's now a Mastodon server operated by people who used to work for Twitter (macaw.social). I could have never imagined it when I started in 2016.

@Gargron I'm still trying to figure out how magnets work. Servers are a whole different level of thinking for me.
[DATA EXPUNGED]
Limmited Access ..Only For USA Conservatives! 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 : Finally, We Have Undeniable Proof in Hand of Rigged Elections That Will Send Top Democrats in Jail !! @Gargron I'm still learning about Mastodon. Is that ex-twitter server (macaw.social) something that we can browse/read/interact with? @jacobgonzales20 @Gargron Thanks for your answer. So, different servers have different membership restrictions. I didn't realize that. I thought everything was federated like the old Usenet days. Also odd that I didn't receive a notification of your reply. I'm learning, but I wish Mastodon borrowed a few more UX elements from Twitter. It's been hard to navigate so far and I'm a techie. @Gargron Even more exciting that they can, if toot.wales is anything to go by, choose to label their button "Squawk". My button says "tŵt!" and apparently the standard is now "Publish". @gargron if Elon continues like the last weeks Twitter itself will be a Mastodon Instance by january 💁🏼♂️ @Gargron will this site allow observations contrary to others beliefs? as in politics? of adherence to law by governance? @Gargron I initially joined the platform back in 2016, but then deleted my account because of personal reasons. I'm glad I'm back here and that you care about the platform as deeply as you do. @Gargron There a one in a million chance that an idea has it's breakthrough. Yours is one of it, because of your incredible work! It will change the game and go down in history. @Gargron It's time to teach that punk Elon Musk that he's not nearly the hot stuff that he thinks he us. @Gargron I bet they couldn't have imagined it in 2016, either. Or in 2021 for that matter. I hope a lot of ex-Twitter employees check out Mastodon and the Fediverse in general, try hosting a server, and perhaps eventually write new software for other services that could be connected to the Fediverse. @Gargron Just followed @streamofron the admin for #Mastodon server (macaw.social) operated by people who used to work for the bird site #NewHere #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #TwitterRefugee @Gargron I joined Mastodon about 3 weeks ago and could not upload photos to posts via the iOS app (tried several times). 502 server error received. I almost gave up posting on the platform. In the end another user told me about a 3rd party app today, through which I could post picture posts to Mastodon without a problem 🙌 Is there an issue with uploading photos to posts on the iOS app? If so it would be great if this could be looked at, to not deter new users from starting posting. Thanks! |
@Gargron Tar. Didn't realise. Recent firings from #Twitter may allow many more to move and grow this?!
Definitely do not allow the egotistical wind bag on! Please 😫
