    This other social network has made #Mastodon is such a enigma. And not talking about Twitter. "Hoping Mastodon will get it's great migration too.""Hoping Mastodon stays small / underdog." …shouted simultaneously out of the same mouths. Proud to make my home here but it's odd.. maybe some of this noise is performative? Reminds me of…

  • Speaking of #Bluesky – i never left. #Mastodon is my default. Just logged in today after a year and I got 440 followers?!?!?!? How is that possible? #Mastodon is still my default but If you are over there too this is me: https://bsky.app/profile/davidbisset.com

  • #Mastodon … where 10% of my feed is how it's better than #Bluesky.

  • I think for #mastodon it would be “Your next task is to not mention those mentioning how dark it is…” #daylightsavingtime #memes https://mastodon.social/@Some_Emo_Chick/113419578854356942

  • So looks like #mastodon on my server (phpc.social) got updated – seeing a tweaked web interface. Overall, looks nice. But observing that the "notifications" area looks more like Twitter (X) notifications now than before (which made me smile briefly). Just a "by my eyes" observation.

  • There’s a #WordPress plugin that allows you to publish on your blog using #Mastodon apps. https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-mastodon-apps/ "Be aware that an app will have a post format associated (see the settings page)."

  • Hey I just followed official @WordPress on #Mastodon. #WordPress

  • Ah vague subtweets…. or on #Mastodon is it subtoots? subposts? What's the most common used term? 🤔

  • Unfollowed a few folks. A reminder It's ok to unfollow people in your #Mastodon timeline that 99% offer negative and "this is why this company/tech sucks" comments. And seem to find others that have 99% in their timelines as well and feed on each other in an orgy of symbiotic grumpiness. It's ok even if…

  • At this point, if you go to #Bluesky just to document bad things happening to that particular social network or to report back to #Mastodon what people on a social network say about people here… I envy the time you have at your disposal.

  • Everything #tech has an overhyped cycle (usually in the beginning of its introduction to a critical mass but not always). If you’re reading this on Mastodon then you’ll likely rightly think about #AI #Apple etc. But also #Mastodon #ActivityPub #WordPress etc also had theirs. Maybe you weren’t around for them. And these (and more) have…

    From time to time I stumble onto a modern Tweet worth adding to my https://davidbisset.social collection (via #mastodon). — About #coding / #tech industry: "Early in my career, I joined a project that used a lot of #SQL. I was new to SQL so I found an “intro to SQL” book on the company bookshelf,…

  • Sad a bit but not surprised to see post.news shutting down. I signed up and never used it but I got the weekly newsletter. We need more alternatives and experiments when it comes to social networks. Yes in addition to #mastodon … although one can argue that #fediverse compatibility should be a high consideration for…

  • Keeping an eye on "Share Openly" – a platform-agnostic sharing project from Ben Werdmuller @ben. https://werd.io/2024/share-openly Works with #Mastodon, Micro.blog, Bluesky, Threads, and other services.

  • Surprising enough i'm spending more time on #LinkedIn as my "other than #Mastodon social space". While recruiter and over the top marketing folks are there, they are easy enough to avoid and ignore surprisingly enough. Not sure why. Initial impressions is that there are more "news" links vs "snarky/hot takes and reactive" takes. Less negativity.…

  • RSS Cross Poster: A #node script to post new items from an #RSS feed to various services including Micro.blog and #Mastodon. https://echo.rknight.me/

  • If you want to follow curated #WordPress news (posts, videos, podcasts), subscribe to the #RSS feed of https://wpfront.page (or visit the site). https://wpfront.page/feed/ It runs on a small $0.99 server so when I mention it on #Mastodon the traffic kinda overloads it briefly (even with caching but i'm working on it).

  • I figure my first quote post would be of myself. Seems fitting. #ivory #Mastodon https://phpc.social/@davidbisset/112106492840585692

  • Saw today Quote Posts in #Tapbot app and loving how it's done. 👏🏻 #Mastodon https://www.macstories.net/news/tapbots-releases-ivory-1-9-with-quote-posts/

  • Also bookmarking another related #BlueskyBridge post from @manton. https://www.manton.org/2024/02/15/mastodon-and-public.html "It often feels that (some) Mastodon folks care more about #Mastodon as a platform than they care about the #openweb as a platform."

  • Avoiding or ignoring controversies is my jam but i'm bookmarking what seems like a good write up on what's been going on w/ #BlueskyBridge, which includes responses to Includes negative feedback voiced from a few on #Mastodon. https://wedistribute.org/2024/02/tear-down-walls-not-bridges/ #Bluesky

  • Good read. Not really new news but summarizes I think well enough. "Social networks are getting stingy with their data, leaving third-party developers in the lurch". #Mastodon #Bluesky #API https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/09/social-network-api-apps-twitter-reddit-threads-mastodon-bluesky

  • Almost required reading for anyone posting on #socialmedia regardless if it's #Mastodon #BlueSky or X. https://notes.neatnik.net/2024/01/the-power-to-not via Adam Newbold. Time and replace for everything. Trick is knowing when which is usually far less than one initially reasons. Usually the question "will my response be welcomed or considered" is enough. ☮️

  • The "Who To Follow on #Mastodon For #WordPress folks" page is still alive and kicking, if you weren't aware. https://wp-community-on-mastodon.wptoots.social/

  • MastoFeed is a #RSS to #Mastodon service. https://mastofeed.org/

  • Listening to a #JSParty episode about #HTMX. Learning about it for the first time, but based on all the hate i'm seeing from #JavaScript folks on #Mastodon about it, it's worth seeing that this is. https://changelog.com/jsparty/307 #podcast #webdev

  • The best social network right now (at least in terms of "what makes me feel 💯") for me isn't #Mastodon, Twitter, etc. but a (relatively small) #Slack (one of the few Slacks i'm active on).

  • Question to my tech people on #Mastodon: My wife and daughter are building an app for web/iPhone/Android that requires storage of text/CSV files in a *secure* #database or storage via a service. Not AWS. Not preferably iCloud. Is there a service that can JUST provide SECURE storage with an API? Files contain records of students,…
