to what degree can the instance be modified? i have a few ideas that seem promising
1. add a donor badge
2. organize threads so we don't read them in reverse
@pee_zombie @locus what things can the average user do to help the server out?
e.g. saw a toot saying that its better to upload videos and images to other hosting platforms (like youtube) and link to that in order to save space and bandwidth for the server
what other low hanging fruit is there?
@andrew feels like blogging is the minimum viable product for a modern day baghdad of wisdom
fuck around > find out > write about it > poast > more people fuck around and find out different things > moar poast
re: kids
i'd like to have kids one day, but there's a looong way to that. finding a suitable partner and reorganizing society
hope you find alignment in your career :D
@andrew wbu?
@andrew ~ current plan
1. figure out how to make a decent amount of money for the least amount of work
2. play sports, learn programming (for ai, and to have my own spot online), do art as a hobby
@andrew (i'm not sure how familiar you are with psychedelics. so i'm adding the basics juuuust in case
also, i only did LSD twice in my life and haven't done any other drugs)
@andrew i'd also suggest learning meditation and focusing (gendlin) before you do psychedelics makes the experience much better
make sure you know what drug youre doing and get it from a trusted source. make sure you know how it works and how to handle the possible side effects
LSD is quite safe compared to other drugs, and it works on a subtype of serotonin receptor
@andrew i have a twitter thread on the first time i did LSD

(already downloaded my twitter archive, now i need to start a blog so i have another place to share my stuff)
apart from that i think psychedelics are extremely good, even if you get a bad trip people sometimes appreciate them
@WomanCorn i dont think its just the jet tracker thing
Musk seems stressed by Twitter's financial state, and even more so by people injuring his ego.
Mastodon is explicitly a twitter competitor, and so i'm guessing that he felt threatened by it. whereas other platforms aren't in direct competition to Twitter
@easoncxz yeah, its remarkable how good he is at cultivating social scenes
dude knows his stuff. focus on the type of people you want. help build shared norms and schelling points. celebrate the good and voilla, everyone wins
If you are new to #mastodon, migrating from #twitter and you love to post videos, please consider posting your video over at a hosting site such as Youtube or Vimeo (others exist). Then post the link, it should show and play in your Toot.
It saves your server from having to store and stream huge quantities of extra data.
I'm going to add into here that federated hosting exists in the form of #peertube as well which is worth a look at. https://joinpeertube.org/
we have retvrned to the original form of twitter. we must bring back the hashtags if we wish to index our search
tried searching for tpot and vibecamp, and looks like the search is weak. only works if i look for a hashtag
cookbooks do not feed the hungry. still stuck in platos cave. happy to recieve DMs :D
