Introducing the first alpha release of Mastodon 3.11 for Workgroups!
Available for Windows 95 
@fluffy I moved here 9 years ago, and aside from the awful cost of housing, I'd never want to live anywhere else!
The city has an incredible cultural scene, and we're surrounded by natural beauty!
@fluffy Oh yeah, I'm in Seattle, so I don't even have to use the Internet for that one.

an important thing to learn when coming to mastodon is that free speech is a nonsense word and if you're a bad person you'll be banned. we're not corporations and we dont hold ourselves to the faux decorum that they do
@leo Some of the big players like Libsyn platform violent Neo-Nazi podcasts. Don't give them your business!

As some white people are, of course, trying to find some wiggle room in comparing new people coming to the fedi and the horror that is colonization, let me say this again.
If you think new people coming to the fedi is akin to COLONIZATION, you are racist, and I'm not entertaining your bullshit.
Can people be overwhelmed? Yes. Can people feel anxious? Sure. But NONE OF THOSE THINGS are tantamount to colonialism.
Discomfort with change is fine. Trying to align that experience with one of the most brutal and violent methodologies in the history of humankind is complete nonsense.
No, I am not going to debate this point.
I have been a huge fan of my neighborhood Low-Power FM radio station, Hollow Earth Radio.
They are an excellent commercial-free source of local/independent music. I can't wait until they start doing in-person events again.
If you're looking for a to discover some new content, you can stream them online at https://www.hollowearthradio.org/

if you're having trouble visualizing the recursive centaur i've made this helpful reference
A local business, that I know is 100% WFH and has had an empty office for 2 years now, just posted these very depressing staged pics on Instagram with the caption "We celebrated Thanksgiving early at our new office space. Turkey with all the fixings! Mmmmmm."
Nobody's there...
It's 10am on a Friday, and the office doesn't even have furniture in it.
It's an online tool that connects your Twitter and Mastodon accounts via the API so that if you post something on Twitter, it also gets posted here, or vice versa.
I personally recommend against it since people should be considering their audience before they post.
If you must, I recommend only crossposting from Mastodon to Twitter, not the other way around.
