The web feels so broken. Subscription and login gates at every corner. Using Google on a phone now means being periodically quizzed on which of the buttons to press to *not* be redirected to the app store. Opening an Instagram link casually throws up a browser alert dialog because it tries to automatically open an unsupported URL scheme, presumably their own app, and apparently everyone is fine with it. I'm proud that Mastodon never locks public content behind login walls.

Greetings from Croatia! #Plushtodon

I am on vacation but I noticed this change finally went live on mastodon.social so I'll post about it anyway: the audio player on the web app now has a new and improved look! I hope you like it.

Going on vacation today! #Plushtodon

Still baffled by the sheer irresponsibility of unleashing the Convincing Lie Generator on the general public. I don’t think there’s a historic precedent save for only maybe the release of teflon into the environment.

I cannot express enough how sweet my cats are. They are gentle, kind, and affectionate. Not a hint of malice in their soul. And softer than any plushie. #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

#Mastodon has had a nice little uptick in sign-ups and activity from #Taiwan after a facebook post recommending it as an alternative to facebook and Instagram for Taiwanese users went viral on facebook, bringing in about 20K new users over the span of two days to mastodon.social, g0v.social, m.cmx.im and a few more.
