@esthercrawford Just think what it must be like to see so many of your colleagues get swept aside like refuse by someone intent on destroying their and your work but then have to defend only him and his actions but his intentions going forward and pretend that it was a good thing all along.

People complaining about how complicated #MastodonSocial is sound not only stupid but willfully so. Like, they are putting effort into their ignorance and making their opposition to learning something new—written in simple English—an intrinsic part of their identity.

@oneunderscore__ Mastodon is no more "siloed" than Gmail is from Yahoo or your computer from the rest of the internet.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

I signed up for Mastodon because some of my friends are signing up. Not sure exactly what I'll do there but you can find me at https://t.co/odIMy5SPfV I'm the one with the chicken on my shoulder

This is not aimed at Mehdi Hasan specifically but at whoever it is complaining at him.

Mastodon is not difficult-we do dozens of more complicated things daily. People are just deliberately, willfully stupid. If you don't understand Mastodon and complain about it, it means you don't want to understand it, and would rather complain.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

As a procrastinator it was always gonna take me ages to sign up for some Twitter alternative site. And now seeing dozens of people complaining about how complicated signing up for Mastodon is, I fear I may just stay here till I get kicked off or the site shuts down.

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

For anyone wondering, Mastodon got over 70K sign-ups yesterday alone. Let's keep the momentum going! The "public square" of the web must not belong to any one person or corporation!

This is an insane take. All-nighters are so destructive to one's health and well-being. Employees should be supported, not praised for self-harm.

[Daniel Priestley @DanielPriestley]

@evanstnlyjones @esthercrawford I fondly remember pulling all nighters with my team in the early days. It created such strong bonds and memories. It’s exhilarating to be part of something meaningful that takes every inch of you to achieve. Well done 👏🏻

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

The number of people who switched over to #Mastodon in the last week alone has surpassed 230 thousand, along with many returning to old accounts bumping the network to over 655 thousand active users, highest it's ever been!

Why? 👉 https://t.co/9Ik30hT3xR

[@[email protected] @mjdye]

@kathygriffin Mastodon is nerdier, queerer and more diverse than most options

[@[email protected] @mjdye]

@WFKARS Mastodon is great but it does take some getting used to. It has some really great content moderation tools—like you can choose who gets to see a post and how far it goes in the wider network.

[@[email protected] @mjdye]

Once again, people should be checking out https://t.co/loUlJO8lR6. There are a lot of good reasons to do so but, perhaps the best one lately is, as it's decentralized and therefore impossible to take over, can never be the property of a megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur.

One of the most profound things I read in my original journey to ADHD diagnosis was what Dr. Ned Hallowell calls “the cough drop sign” in the book, Driven To Distraction.

I’d never felt more seen before reading this quote.

It comes from one of Hallowell’s ADHD patients:
