Hey Twitter migrants, I made you something to vent some of the feelings that are less relished here. Sometimes you just need to scream into the void.

Why it's worth trying to avoid Covid, especially if like most Americans, you've had it before:
- "People who are infected with COVID two or more times are twice as likely to die for any reason"
- 3x as likely to need hospitalization;
- 3x as likely to have lung problems;
- 3x as likely to have cardiovascular problems;
- 3x as likely to have a blood clot."

Sieht irgendwer ein Problem, wenn der Code einer russischen Firma (#Pushwoosh) in allen Apps des NDR drin ist?
Und jedes Öffnen der App mit einer appübergreifenden ID an die Firma meldet 🤔
Vielleicht sollte man auch mal diskutieren, ob es wirklich eine gute Idee war, dass die Öffentlich-Rechtlichen nicht einer externen Datenschutzbehörde unterliegen, sondern sich solche und andere Trackingeinbettungen einfach selber durchwinken.

Ohhhhh, amazing! It’s looking like the #rustlang restrictions RFC will likely be accepted!
This will remove the need for sealed traits, and will instead allow writing:
pub impl(crate) trait Foo {}
Which indicates the trait is public, but can only be implemented by the crate! It will also include:
pub struct Time {
pub mut(crate) millis: usize,
}
To enable fields to be marked read-only in public APIs!

It's Trans Awareness Week, and I think back to the Black Trans Flag, the dominance of whiteness in this queer space, and the lack of care white ppl have for their Black queer siblings
I've been here for years, let's go down memory lane
"And without the slightest bit of irony are WP discussing where and how Blk and POC should be represented on the flag. 'here's ur corner, now shut up'"
White queer were coming up with mock flag designs that would allow for Blk ppl to be represented bc "Just because youre a minority grou doesn't give yu the right to shit on other ones"
Then this person blocked me, realized they didn't even understand the flag, and apologized to their followers and never sent one my way
and Yes I am starting #BlackMastodonHistory bc I and others who have been here for years have dealt w some shit

The instance is flourishing, and nearly 100 signups have happened over the last few days. Lots of people are having fun, and we're settling into new methods and strategies to make this great for everyone.
One thing worth noting is that a few instances have already suspended us - Mastodon.social, one of the biggest instances, and a few others like wandering.shop. That is their perogative, and there are no hard feelings, but it is a bummer to see these efforts get misunderstood and closed off.
Brands.Town is one part culture-jamming, one part satire, and one part collaborative ARG with an evolving made-up world. Every account pretends to be verified. It's a giant middle finger to corporate propaganda on social networks, and an effort to make the fediverse somewhat less hospitable to actual brands trying to colonize our space.
Anyway, check us out: brands.town/public
And maybe sign up!

The latest Mastodon update lets you follow hashtags. When you follow, posts with a tag appear in your timeline automatically.
Try following #Gardening to make posts about gardening appear in your timeline.
This can be REALLY useful for discovering interesting accounts.
To follow a hashtag:
1. Log in through your server's website
2. Search for hashtag
3. Click it to see its results
4. Click on 👤+ icon in top right (click again to unfollow)
Posts from followed tags are visible in the apps too.
Federico Mena Quintero reshared this.
Just to clear up some confusion about how hashtag following works on Mastodon apps:
If you follow a hashtag on Mastodon, posts from those followed tags will be visible on your home timeline on the website AND in all the apps.
So, for example, you could log in through your server's website, follow the tags you want, and then go back to using your favourite app.
If you want to follow more tags, you can currently only do that through a website or Android apps Fedilab & Subway Tooter.

This presentation of Web Monetization for podcasting was given in New Orleans, Louisiana, for the 2022 Interledger Summit.

Podcasting is booming all over the world, but only a minority of podcasts are monetized.
Podcasters who want to make money are facing a cruel dilemma:
- Draw away their audience by erecting a paywall.
- Expose themselves to censorship by partnering with brands or closed distribution platforms.
Thanks to decentralized protocols, Interledger and Web Monetization allow podcasters to sell content, not their soul.
During this showcase, we will show you how to set up a podcast with Web Monetization and Castopod, an open-source podcast hosting platform. You will see that podcasting is the perfect candidate for time-based pricing.
