 The first post I put up for Pride month had 92 likes and 62 boosts over on Mastodon, meanwhile here on the 'gram only 91 people actually saw it - despite me having 1500 followers and sharing it to Stories. That's not a small difference, and it's not an outlier. Over the 28 days before I scheduled this post, my Mastodon posts had 979 engagements, while on Instagram they had 153. Not only that, I have had more enquires through Mastodon this year, than I have had through Instagram ever. My spouse spoils Doots by putting his food dish in the kitchen window so he can sort of dine al fresco and watch the birdies. π :smug: #AllCatsAreBeautiful #DootsToots #CatsOfMastodon #CatsOfFediverse #Cats #Cat #Caturday

 @samhenrigold  Looking for a dev to help lead Mammoth. Needs passion for user experience & fedi, ideally has played a key role in end user app already. Codebase is in Swift + UIKit but we are flexible, want to talk to visionary devs. $5,000/mo, fully open source, AGPL. Can be a (major!) side hustle. HMU at bdecrem on g mail or bartdecrem on discord.

Is a High School student entering summer break OK for you? I have my own web framework, built multiple UIs(aesthetic focused / ux focused), I have my own decentralized protocol that does most except activitypub does. Have activitypub experience. Beginner knowledge in Swift but a fast learner. I can send my CV if you want. if you want a vision of the future, imagine this guy hitting Print Screen on your keyboard, forever

I should be able to follow #Cara users from my Mastodon account. You can't convince me to make yet another account in a yet another silo, but I'd love to see and share more art in my home feed. Anyone have a connection to their team? Would love to chat about the #fediverse.

 @Gargron No ππΌ more ππΌ social ππΌ silos ππΌ https://www.augment.ink/social-siloes-post/ @Gargron π―. An artist I follow and patronize has dumped Instagram for Cara and so now I have to run yet another app that's not really aimed at me since I'm not really an artist. It's a very short line from "Zoom CEO wants a deepfake of you to attend your meetings" to the situation @ZachWeinersmith predicted over a decade ago https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2013-11-01 1 day to go π³οΈ πͺπΊ In just one day, and over the following three days, the largest transnational elections in the world will take place. This week #UseYourVote in the European elections. All you need to know about the European elections β https://elections.europa.eu/en/ And yet more from the Big Basin Redwoods State Park. π· Canon AE-1 Program #BelieveInFilm #FilmPhotography #AnalogPhotography #35mm #SFBA  @Gargron It looks like you got a shot of milkweed at the base of the tree. Itβs a very important part of the ecosystem that supports the Monarch butterfly. A lot of folks in California are growing it in gardens as a conservation effort. We currently have 3 pupae in our front yard (weβll have several dozens by the end of summer). @Gargron Love Big Basin! The Forest of Nisene Marks in Aptos is also a great location for beautiful pictures. The dog next door - Rohan really wants to say "Hi" and get a nice rub as a greeting. Cookies are a bonus, if you have one.  @mlmartens isn't it amazing how diverse dogs really are. My Doberman in similar situation will have your hand as a snack Iβve got a new camera! Pentax KX. Unlike the Canon Ae-1 Program, itβs fully mechanical. Everything seems to be in working order, except the focusing ring being misaligned and rotating past infinity.

@Gargron my first was an AE-1, and I also got a K-1000 for that very reason as well. Fully mechanical=long exposure beast  @Gargron apologies for saying this, but does that mean " To infinity, and beyond". On another note, my second slr was a Pentax ME Super. Lovely camera. New music video from #BlossomsBand! Filmed on 16mm βΊοΈ  @constantorbit For some reason, this photo reminded me of the scene with Death on the beach in The Seventh Seal

There is no way that I am sending my kid to a college campus that uses anything even remotely like this. https://edtechmagazine.com/higher/article/2024/04/how-robotic-dogs-could-protect-college-campuses

 :blobfox0_0: o_________o   @gulovsen What the almighty fuck IS this bullshit? Are our kids unsafe EVERYWHERE? Why send your kids to a distant college if they're gonna risk getting shot by mistake? Keep them right nearby, you might get to see them before they die. This is so fucking FUCKED.  @donni I'm am not entirely convinced about this. I suspect @the_etrain would be a good candidate for in depth research on this hypothesis. Oh man, this news story. Former MLA from Manitoba asks Meta's own "ask AI" chatbot if a phone number he found on Google is really Meta support. It tells him yes. It isn't, and he's scammed out of $500 and control of his accounts. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/facebook-customer-support-scam-1.7219581

 @misty From the account in the article, it seems like Gaudreau was being careful and was trying to verify a telephone number from what he reasonably expected would be an authoritative source. This is absolutely Meta's fault.  |

@alexisbushnell @DoubleTreble I love it here :blobfoxheartcute:
@alexisbushnell without reason ain't here. it's a social place, not ads place :D
@alexisbushnell I've said it before on here, and I'll say it again: I have had way more engagement here on Mastodon than I ever did on Twitter, and I'm much happier here where I feel like plenty of people actually acknowledge me with my thoughts and ideas on the internet.
