*looks at twitter* oh good, i got followed by a tech exec and three more brands

*looks at mastodon* i got followed by 8 witches, 3 queer furries and 7 cybrepunks

I'll tell you what we need for Mastodon : a real-time map showing instances and toot flows between them.

147,859 accounts
+506 in the last hour
+10,590 in the last day
461 active instances

I've written 'toot', a very simple command-line utility to allow Mastodon posts to be sent from the command-line: https://www.npmjs.com/package/toot

when that tootline LIT

Facts : Nobody is using capitalism.party

My analysis : Capitalism is a failure

Thanks for reading.

*hugs u so u won't worry*

Instagram: My life is a party.

Snapchat: My life is a quirky TV show.

Facebook: My life turned out great!

Twitter: We're all going to die.

Mastodon: Don't worry, while we are on a quirky, meandering path towards an inevitable apocalypse, we might as well enjoy the ride and show eachother some love in an unorthodox, yet irresistible manner, not in any way hindered by considerations of style, identity or consistency.

Dear Fellow Anglophones,

People are allowed to speak their own language in public. We do not own the internet.

I repeat:

WE DO NOT OWN THE INTERNET.

Sheesh!

Dear Francophones (and other non-anglophones)

I'd say "feel free to carry on" but you don't need my permission.

I am sorry people are jerks though.

It's fun watching everyone try and explain why Mastodon will fail.

Like for some reason it's a bad thing to support a startup.

There should be a "sticky" style column here with a few notes for noobs like me. Explaining what the hell this, how it works etc... Sort of like the sidebar of subreddits.

All social media will be judge based on how easy it is to find washed up celebrities.
