It’s only a toot if it comes from the Mastodón region of France. Otherwise it’s just a sparkling fart.

Oh boy, #tusky is good. Thanks for the recommendation @saraita101
Anyone still using the mastodon app on Android you might want to switch to Tusky. Way nicer layout, easy to see everything in your home server and easy to switch between accounts.

@marcus ooooh, this sounds interesting. I’m having to think about storage space at the minute. Any specific docs you were following for that? Did you start with S3 from the get-go or were you using local storage first and migrated to S3?

@vinnycoyne I recently saw someone dressed as Mario in their Twitter avatar, and I just assumed it was post from you.

Politics in Northern Ireland 

@saraita101 not sure there is either, but gotta wonder if Ian feels like there might be soon!

Politics in Northern Ireland 

@saraita101 as the kids might say: “tell me there is clear support for a border poll without saying telling me there is clear support for a border poll” (where me = NI Secretary of State)

Looking forward to the point in time when the only person left over at the birdsite is

@oisin we don’t often see badgers at our house, though we’ve definitely had them visit at night. My mother-in-law in Fermanagh would get a lot of activity, though it’s less appreciated as there’s so much suspicion of badgers spreading TB to the cattle.

@oisin your badger to mushroom ratio is all out of whack.

@ninjaPotts This is why I didn't want to be on mastodon.ie (or .social, etc). The local/federated timelines there are kind of pointless cause there are so many people there now. Of course, I've now got a bit of FOMO cause it feels like everyone in Ireland on on mastodon.ie and maybe I'm missing some craic...

Me: I’ve bought a Roland 808 clone
Wife: What are you going to do with that?
Me: I’ll probably make some electro stuff, do some old school ravey beats
…a while later…
Wife: What’s that you’re doing, it sounds familiar?
Me: Nothing!
Wife: Is that…
Me: No
Wife: Is that…
Me: NO!
Wife: It’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston, isn’t it?
Me: Yes…

@Septicpeg@mastodon.ie im hoping that he sets up some loyalist instance, all his buddies join up, and it ends up getting blocked by every other instance in the world.

@saraita101 the fact that the people who do moderation for your server are visible as human beings and not hiding behind some massive opaque department is somewhat reassuring. And that you can jump to another instance if your current moderators are letting you down.

@OpinionatedGeek just watch out for the 140-gauge folks from the early days!

@OpinionatedGeek I’ve seen suggestions that the first post in a thread can be marked as Public, and subsequent posts can be marked as Unlisted. This allows the opening post to appear on timelines (like an abstract), but the remainder of the thread will not clutter a timeline, though can still be read by viewing the initial post.

@nivrig sssssh! If you say it too loud, then I’ll have to mow the lawn! And Mo does not like to mow.
