We’re aware that Twitterrific is having problems communicating with Twitter. We don’t yet know what the root cause is, but we’re trying to find out. Please stay tuned and apologies.

https://t.co/tUChf5Yfkt is creating fake/placeholder accounts for publishers to try to entice them to move there?

@SyabiraBakes OMG! Here’s my recipe. If you have any creative improvements please share!

Last week we harvested kumquats near my mom’s house, so tonight I made my favorite “Cardamom Kumquat Bread” to eat while we watch the #BakeOff finale.

I’m team Syabira. Let’s go!

Today I’m watching all the #IreneCara videos. What an incredible talent she was.

Discovered @emoenmusic by chance and haven’t put down new LP ‘Wherever You Aren’t’ since. Bloody brilliant.

@jeremiahmoore It’s run by @[email protected] and @[email protected]. They seem super nice and chill. Last week the server went down like 4 times tho, which is another reason I decided to try and build my own. I’m not sure the software can really handle loads with 25k users.

[Scott McDowell @[email protected] @fadersolo]

@jeremiahmoore One final note: if you’re following less than 50 people, don’t hesitate to follow any account that looks even mildly interesting. It’ll all start to make a lot more sense once you’re following 50+ people and then you can begin to cull your list.

@jeremiahmoore I’m trying to build a server that’s focused on “Bay Area arts & music” at https://t.co/T5vbXqEfbX. It’s so small right now that the local timeline is basically a ghost town, but if you wanna join I’m hoping I can grow this into a smaller sibling of sfba.local that’s more focused.

@jeremiahmoore I’m live at https://t.co/T5vbXqm5XP

[Scott McDowell @[email protected] @fadersolo]

Ok, I’m live at https://t.co/T5vbXqm5XP — this could be messy while I figure it out. I’m not extremely hardcore.

I’m probably gonna kill my account pretty soon. I’m enjoying @joinmastodon and don’t wanna support whatever seems to be going on over here now.

[Mastodon (@[email protected]) @joinmastodon]

Mastodon has just passed over 2 million active monthly users, a new record! People are voting with their feet. The future of social media doesn't have to belong to a billionaire, it can be in the hands of its users.

[Scott McDowell @[email protected] @fadersolo]

@joinmastodon In fact, I think this is the inspiration I need to set up my own instance. Hold my beer!

[Scott McDowell @[email protected] @fadersolo]

@jeremiahmoore I’ll let you know as soon as I’m up and running. You’ll get an invite to join. If it doesn’t totally suck, I can help you set up a sound design instance if you want.

[Scott McDowell @[email protected] @fadersolo]

@jeremiahmoore There’s already folks out there offering fully managed mastodon hosting. I’m gonna start there for now and then see if I can’t manage to spin my own up when I have spare time.

[Scott McDowell @[email protected] @fadersolo]

@jeremiahmoore I just paid for the first month. Here we go!
