I like that the Masto discourse has gone around to Masto will save Twitter, like a Fast & Furious story arc
what I was told: mastodon is like a better version of twitter
what I found : mastodon is a bunch of rp forums that talk to each other
which is way better, mind you
We'll shoot maybe I need to stay on twitter now
In exactly 501 characters please create a post-visual interpretive dance to describe exactly what you're Mastodon instances for.
Toot in your native tongue, please. Share your culture with the world.
Pouez dans votre langue naturelle, s'elle vous plait. Partagez votre culture avec le monde.
One last comment on the whole "Mastodon and language" thing, tho:
Si alguien crea una instancia de Mastodon orientada a público mexicano y la URL no es www.mame.mx, me voy a sentir muy decepcionado. (Si, ya revisé. La dirección está disponible.)

Music!
Starting to think I should toot in english in this account.
I've been following the debate on "polluting" Mastodon with foreign languages. I do agree on the fact that there's nothing wrong with tooting in my native language (this is MY corner of the Web, dammit!), but – let's be honest: I won't get any spanish-speaking conversation in an english-speaking instance.
So, yeah. I'll be tooting in english 'til I find a nice spanish-speaking Mastodon instance (or grow a pair and create my own one).
Rule of Mastodition #83 : Yes people speak other languages here. What language are you speaking Huuumaaahn? Isn't your universal translator working? You'll never profit if you can't speak to most of the galaxy.
Holy shit, Jack just tweeted about the #Mastodon Band/Social joke on #BirdSite! https://twitter.com/jack/status/850070169468649472
PSA: If you are in the web view of a remote instance of some user or toot, you cannot directly reply/boost/fav.
But you can copypaste the URL into your local Mastodon server's "Search" field, then it allows you to interact!
Wasn't obvious to me, so maybe boost this if it helped you. :)
INTRO TO FEDERATION:
1. "mastodon" is a piece of software that runs on a server. There's a lot of servers that run it & u can follow ppl on other servers.
2. When u follow someone from another server, your server receives their toots.
3. The federated TL is all public toots that the server receives, ie all of the toots from everyone that ppl on your server follow.
4. ERGO: if u want to see more toots in the fed TL, follow + get other ppl on your server to follow ppl from other servers!
Esta ya es mi 2° cuenta de Mastodon, y eso que esta red social se empezó a volver popular esta semana :rofl:
En mi defensa, el servidor de mi otra cuenta (L8@mastodon.cloud) está tambaleándose mas que borracho en puente colgante.
