Revised recs: Mast0don experience depends heavily on app & server you use. Big ones overwhelmed, pick a smaller one. I don't rec original mastodon app, try Metatext or Toot! (New fav!)
Masto Pros/cons are same: linked but distributed servers, diff admins.

[JustStaci @splott2]

Leaving the account to stagnate, deleting the app. see y’all on mastodon.

[JustStaci @splott2]

Anniversary huh? You’re fired.

[JustStaci @splott2]

@SamHainPress Tell her I said hi. ;-)

NEW: Employees who have criticized Elon Musk in Twitter’s Slack channels were fired overnight over email.

“We regret to inform you that your employment is terminated immediately,” they’re being told over email. “Your recent behavior has violated company policy.”

[JustStaci @splott2]

@goldenloki Oh, I’m already over on mastodon. My lifeboat is tied up next to me! It ain’t spectacular, but it will keep me afloat and connected to anyone else who wants to try. :)

[JustStaci @splott2]

it is sinking like the Titanic. There’s plenty of time to flee. Unlike actual titanic, lifeboats arent spectacular, but they exist. Don’t be one of those people going “but it’s unsinkable! <Glub glub>"

@CareWerewolves There’s only two nonfiction podcasts that I listen to and look forward to. @Gastropodcast : food through the lens of science and history, and @Sawbones: misguided medical mishaps throughout history.
I can’t even imagine current event podcasts. That sounds like some torture!

[soul nate @MNateShyamalan]

can’t believe my stupid ass has imposter syndrome while elon musk is confidently marching around twitter HQ and chewing on wires until something breaks

[JustStaci @splott2]

@cmpriest Ah, i just looked, you can get in with an invite.
I could poke someone, if you're interested..

[JustStaci @splott2]

@cmpriest The writers exchange?

[JustStaci @splott2]

@truestorydesu @cmpriest You don’t have to be invited. Or rather, there are plenty of public servers. There might be some that are invite only but many public ones.

[JustStaci @splott2]

@cmpriest <wince> that server keeps drowning. Let me know if you need help shifting to a different one. I think there is an actual one for writers.

12 years ago, Twitter’s office used a Mac Mini to tunnel into the servers. One day, an IT guy found it in the closet.

“Anyone know who owns this?”

“Unplug it. Someone will show up.”

Everyone lost access to servers. Huge crisis. It became known as the “Load Bearing Mac Mini.”

If you're at Twitter and you've been invited back after they fired you in error, here's a chat with one of the managers there, the Senior Director of Engineering at Twitter, aka @LukeEvansSimon

[JustStaci @splott2]

FYI.

[JustStaci @splott2]

Also, I feel like people have forgotten when they first joined Twitter and they didn't know or follow anyone. No, it's not the same as Twitter, but also, you're starting back at level 1 with followings. that's not Mastodon's fault. that's nobody's fault. it is what it is. 🤷‍♀️2/2

Mastodon experience depends heavily on app & server you use. https://t.co/SmWPSeGqYM is overwhelmed, pick a smaller one. and tootle app isn't great migrating from Twitter, "tooot" is more standardized. Masto pros an cons are same: linked but distributed servers, diff admins. 1/2
