in a world where twitter dies i could probably make do, but at present it's my primary moneymaker as much as i hate to say it

i would like to need twitter less but also i don't really have a huge option. it took me years to get a following there, and going anywhere else would be starting from square one. and i love mastodon, but by its very nature marketing (aka my job) barely works here

i wish i could rejoice twitter being down with the rest of y'all but to be perfectly honest a good 80% of my revenue comes through twitter. the number one referrer on pretty much every game i make is from twitter. if it doesn't come back, i'll be fucking scrambling

I learned yesterday that pika will gather grass and other goodies and store them away in their little rocky homes. they also bark to communicate

I'm sorry to have yet another idea, I know I have been at 11 :)

but if anybody wants to build a bot called @bestthings on aus.social i would welcome this - it toots once a day simply asking "tell us your best thing today".

@asherwolf would appreciate knowing best time and is that wording cool

exactly my attitude

hot take the liberal insistence on means-testing and distaste for universal programs is because they all subconsciously realize that the stability of capitalist societies relies on someone, anyone, falling through the cracks and being poor and desperate enough to work for next to nothing

So Gab has decided that their own code that they spent $5M of investor money developing is so unsalvageably bad that they're going to use Mastodon's code instead, with the added bonus of leeching off of our apps (with Gab apps being banned from app stores)

This is an early warning to fellow admins to be vigilant and domain-block them on sight, when/if they appear (unconfirmed whether they intend to federate), and to app devs to consider if blocking Gab's domains from their app is necessary.
