Also fun fact: Tame Impala is one guy named after a lovely car.

One dude in the studio, but a bunch of very good musicians live. Highly recommend seeing them live if you like the recordings. More interesting imo.

And the name is about the animal, not the car. YIKES MOST BORING SNIPE

the thing im going to miss the most about twitter is playing the twitter game

step one is to cultivate a feed absolutely chock full of classical art bots and sex workers

step two is to scroll until you find a good painting

step three is to back up and pretend the previous sex worker post caption applies to the painting

for example

Well, I haven't seen any sex workers yet, but Mastodon is certainly "just throw everyone together into the same bucket", so it's only a matter of time.

Is it? I thought the entire point of Mastodon was that everything was siloed and curated so you'd only ever be in the exact server/bucket you wanted instead of one feed of a billion people.

it's a bit of both, mastodon servers can talk to each other so in that sense it's not siloed, but servers can and do opt-out of interacting with specific other servers and in that case you're siloed from everyone on those servers

that can be for good reasons, like cutting off nazi or terfy servers, or due to stupid petty admin drama

Oh no! Not at all! There is that feed view, yes, but there's also the global federated feed which is made up of all posts from everyone on all servers*. It's like drinking from a firehose. You can also follow people from any* server, regardless of which one you're on.

*: server admins can block whole servers. The idea is that, since absolutely anyone can run a Mastodon server, there are going to end up being ones infested with shitlords, and all the admins of decently run servers will end up blocking them all. I'm very keen to see how this shakes out in practice as the userbase grows.

Though you can also personally block servers, too.

I think it depends on how you use it, and it can be used for different things.

Anyone can run a Mastodon instance/server/node (whatever you'd like to call it). I think the intention of each server depends on who's running it, including their server rules. They can choose to admit anyone, people only by approval, etc. You have an account on an instance, and you can see a feed of only people you're following (Home), and one of only people on that instance (Local).

But the instances are "federated", meaning they share data with each other, so you can also see posts by any user on any instance that's sharing data with the server you have an account on. Account names are expressed as @username@hosting server For instance, I'm @Hyperlynx@mastodon.au, but my Home feed (of who I'm following) shows posts from Rami Ismail (@tha_rami@mastodon.social), Winamp ⚡️ Skins Bot (@winampskins@botsin.space), Rod Hilton (@rodhilton@mastodon.social), TJ Cooney (@tjcooney@spacey.space). You can follow anyone on any instance, and you can see a Federated feed of all public posts on all instances.

I think the idea is that, if you like, you can make an account on a Mastodon instance that is just for your specific niche interest or community, so that your Local feed will be posts just from that community. Or, you can use an instance that admits pretty much everyone, that serves as an access point for the whole Mastodon system in general (mastodon.social, mastodon.au). The latter is much more like Twitter, I think. But, also, you can always access the entire thing from any server.

Personally I'm really keen to see how it develops as more people start using it. I think it's got a lot of potential. It's decentralised, and designed specifically for a decentralised environment. I'm very interested to see how things like content moderation and user verification end up shaking out. On that second one, I've seen a proposal that public figures such as journalists could be verified quite easily by their organisation itself running a Mastodon instance where the only users are staff members. By an account in question being a user of a hypothetical https://mastodon.washingtonpost.com, you would be guaranteed that they indeed work for The Washington Post by the same SSL certificates that guarantee that when you look at https://www.washingtonpost.com/ it's authentic.

Honestly I haven't seen any really cool accounts there yet, but it's early days.
