I also enjoy the subgenre of "Elon, I will fly over tomorrow if you need help" / "I may be in marketing but I am a self-learned coder" / "my credentials are I was an Admin of an MIRC and also Wiki"

and that the one person who got that offer taken up is just tweeting about how much he is a dog in the cockpit and trying to crowdsource help

i don't know if its dumb or not, but i try to consciously use "i feel" when explaining stuff to my colleagues in order to cultivate the mindset that one should trust and listen to their feelings also when deciding Important Work Stuff

the only thing worse than it not falling over is Elon smugly going "ha ha ha you all thought it was going to fall over but it didn't" which feels like watching someone sailing away and mocking you for not catching them while they float towards a massive waterfall, but because it's elon it's not satisfying until the drop

I do wish I could do it like twitter where I can add accounts to lists without following them and clogging up my main feed. Like if I want to follow some folks for their artwork but don't really want them in my general feed.

You can probably fake this by creating & pinning a General Feed list and unpinning the Home tab.

I can't really be that bothered about it because I feel Twitter's overall worth and contribution to any sort of national conversation is massively, massively overinflated by people who want to live on it.

I want to see it fall over because Musk is a piece of poo poo and anything bad that happens to him is good. Same reason I didn't want him to end up with Twitter- because even if he runs it into the ground it still means he got something he wanted for even a moment. I'd rather he have lost his money AND didn't get twitter.

the main annoying thing to me is all the artists who use it as a primary venue but if it actually shuts down I imagine they'd move elsewhere.

otherwise, the negative value here is all the hate crime organizing.

Oh, by the way, WRT Mastodon follows on other servers, I found this bookmarklet that will automate the whole process instead of having to manually search for it back in your instance.

https://front-end.social/@bramus/109382713177862052

You just need to change the first line to have your instance's local name. In my case it is: const MY_MASTO_LOCAL_DOMAIN = 'mastodon.world';
