 It's wild how social media outside of the fediverse has deteriorated. You have followers, but if your post doesn't please some opaque algorithm, they'll never see what you post. You have to avoid certain words to please the algorithm. If you refresh the page good luck finding the same posts again. And people put up with it.  A dragonfly landed on my daughter's shoulder. I was taking pictures and then he jumped to my hand. My daughter held out her finger and said, jokingly, "step up," like you would say to a pet bird. And he did! And then we filmed him hopping back again to my hand

 @Rachelburch  This week, 305 Mastodons found a new home. There are only 184 remaining for all of Europe (and 500 for the US, I will have news on this next week, they have finally arrived at the warehouse).

 @Gargron it says "surface washable", so a washing machine may damage it? If there'll be another plushie this would be a big factor for me as I like to just throw them into the machine :bloblewoble: Lasst uns gemeinsam Manni, den neuen Social Media Manager der #Computertruhe, herzlich willkommen heißen und so richtig feste drücken. 🤗 🧡  @computertruhe Willkommen Manni und einen tollen Start in der neuen Position.

 @MrLovenstein gawd can I relate! 😂 two weeks ago I pulled a all nighter to get a deploy out (someone didn't test their code) I tried to sleep when the birds began singing, but i couldn't so I went for a stress run and felt significantly better afterwards.  Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov was instrumental in deciphering Mayan script. His whole life he tried to be co-credited with his cat Asya but his editors always refused. In 2012, the Mexicans honored him with a monument that included his beloved cat.

 @semiotic_pirate As a linguist who specialized in an Indigenous language and who loves their cats, Knozorov has been my hero for a long while. Didn't know about this statue but I'm so glad it exists.  @semiotic_pirate His wikipedia page also has a picture of him with Asya. I think he would want it that way. Welcome to #Groningen (NL), dear #plushtodon! We can't wait to show you around our #library on Monday. #Mastodon Und moderiert wird natürlich nur mit gründlicher Recherche zur #netzbegruenung und zu den Moderationsregeln auf gruene.social |

@Gargron People put up with wagon loads of BS, so no surprise here.
@Gargron Well, listen who's talking. On your main server people are getting hidden because they are posting for #Palestine .
@Gargron
it's a really important concept that isn't talked about enough. I think people have come to expect that they will see everything from their friends ala email/sms but will only see what the corporation decides to show them in media ala social media platforms but also TV etc. #ActivityPub and rss (real podcasts) break that. people might care at the personal level but it matters culturally. #AttentionDemocracy
