@rysiek Mastodon having a bit of a learning curve is one of the best things about it IMO.  

Much like the Internet before AOL and the masses having easy access, and we all saw how that went.

@rysiek What "reporter" uses words like this in a tech article

I think they had the feeling they where on Twitter still

Clowns!

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@rysiek Hopefully he's learned a bit more than that because WOW!

I honestly thought AI wrote it and hallucinated the whole time. Something trained on rage bait from middle schoolers. Wasn't a coherent argument in it anywhere.

"The logo is cute, but the service right now stinks almost as badly as a thawing woolly mammoth."

Even if mastodon had face planted, this article wouldn't be relevant to anyone but the guy who wrote it...and maybe Shatner because it's got him in it.

@rysiek He was right. It did die

@stux @rysiek

Sounds like the writer has a toot-ache.

I had 3 different mobile Twitter apps in the Before Times, not counting the (very bad and totally overrated) official app.
Can't even remember the names of them now.

@rysiek *casually reading '8 years ago', not really believing it, looking at the calendar and groaning*

@rysiek I love Mastodon, but the term "toot" is still ridiculous and reminds me of farting. I had wished "verse" (as in Metaverse) was the choice for posting something, and if someone reposts it, it would be a re-verse. Which would have been a clever word trick

@rysiek "Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated"

- Fediverse

[netraven@hear-me.social]

@rysiek John Mastodon has risen!

[alberto_cottica@mastodon.green]

@rysiek that's a masterclass in passive-aggression, Michal. Well played!

@rysiek I wasn't aware there was a specific day to celebrate.

@dhinojosa the term "toot" is only dirty for a tiny minority of users of the English language. So, ‍️

Unfashionable take, but I really liked G+ (in the early days, before the mandatory YouTube disaster).
I got in as part of the first wave of general public users, courtesy of an invite from a friend who worked for Google.

Woz was on it, and I found a lot of interesting music there (that wasn't being pushed anywhere else).

It (unsurprisingly) went to shit after they added the mandatory requirement to have a G+ account to add comments on YouTube videos.
