How do journalists still find that different-style elephant drawing that hasn't been the "canon" representation of our mascot for 3 years :thonking:

@Gargron, is there a canon illustration? I want to make some animations. =)

Wilderness Matters

@GargronProbably because their practices are dated and integrity is dead 🤣

@Gargron Maybe they're unable to find the press kit or something?

My dream for Mastodon is for it to be a viable choice as a publishing platform for any creator. In other words, for people to not feel like they're locked in to Twitter or Instagram if they want to be professionally successful.

@Gargron That will never happen so long as mastodon is tightly moderated

@Gargron Please implement an edit toot feature thx

FOSS.Tech :fosstodon:

@Gargron yes, for some random reasons it is tough to acheive, not impossible but tough.

To get more user base there has to be content on mastodon. To have more content on mastodon, there has to be more users.

Most platforms nowadays pay creators to post on their platforms, as mastodon is a non-profit work, its not a choice to make.

To attract creators mastodon should have some sort of analytics features, verifying official accounts, creator tools. And constant buzz created by present users.

Happy to see @editor's masthead.social server grow as more journalists make the move to Mastodon

@Gargron @editor Please move it near the top so I don't have to go through all those other actions. Maybe touch one unintentionally.

@Gargron @editor

But trust no journalist either... Evil clan. While some are honest and present unbiased stories, most are paid to spread fake news & divide people...

Till date, when discovered that they had peddled some fake news, most of them have not owned up to that.

That makes me very wary of them & the distrust grows by the day.

mastodon.social is updated with the bookmark feature developed by @Thib.

I can already see that the action bar now looks too crowded so the bookmark function will maybe move to the dropdown menu soon.

I wish I had one of those professional portraits where you're illuminated by purple neon lights or whatever because when someone asks me for a photo to use in an article I don't have anything except that picture my dad took years ago

@Gargron I suppose there would have been a lot more people interested if it was $27,000 every year instead 🙂

@Gargron read the article, the head will spin, you have to set shop in a place no one lives! 😂

Am I alone in thinking that it would be confusing and unnecessary to have a "save for later" feature in the form of "favourite" as well as "save for later" in the form of "bookmark" side by side? :thonking:

@Gargron On the contrary, I think Bookmarking is a good idea

Jaryl Sim

@Gargron instead of side-by-side, why not build tools to manage your favorites? I've always wanted a feature where anything I save gets pushed into a queue and then I have to either archive and label it, or take some sort of action, to remove it from the queue.

Matt Collins

@Gargron I agree. Never completely understood the difference.

Will I perform the heroic task of going out to the grocery store for more cereal in this cold ass night time weather? Time will tell

It's so beautiful to see masses of people switch to Mastodon / the fediverse. Big hope feels.

@Gargron I am testing the waters here. If all goes well, I would like to send information about your site to Alabama Power, Disney, AT&T, and Directv to get them to switch to over here for customer support services. Journalists should all be switching to here!

@Gargron Hi, Namaste 🙏 new here and excited to be part of Mastodon community.

Love the 🐘 Elephant mascot & cool words like Toot and fediverse(sounds like Terry Pratchett's Multiverse) 😀 .Love from India 🇮🇳 P.S: Twitter was becoming too 'Toxic' for me.

Eugen Rochko

Updated the list of sponsors (patrons on Patreon) who support my work on Mastodon development and the hosting of mastodon.social:

Thank you!

I'm rewatching this ridiculous music video for Devin Townsend's Spirits Will Collide from the #Empath album

@Gargron Spirits will Collide is one song that never fails to move me to tears. Not gonna lie, when I see him live in February in New York it's gonna be HARD to keep my shit together.
