#JohnMastodon: A Limerick

There was a young fellow named John,
Who was banned by a troll called Elon.
No wait, that's a mistake.
"John" is actually fake.
But you should still all Join Mastodon.

#JohnMastodon really isn't getting the level of appreciation that he deserves, if we're all being honest with ourselves.

I am getting various responses to this like, "Looking forward to your twitter archive creator! What happens with my twitter data when I upload it to your service? How do you expect me to upload a multi-gigabyte zip file?"

You don't know me very well. There is no upload at all. There's no service, no server. The data stays on your computer. Everything happens in the browser client :AngelDevil:

We are all so trained to assume that "web application" means "a server does the work"!

It’s never not going to be funny that after years of hype about crypto-metaverse-subscriptions disrupting web2 incumbents, the backstop to Twitter’s sudden implosion was volunteers recreating Usenet with RSS.

Whilst Mastodon has been suspended from #Twitter, it had been trending all day.
That only ever works out for #Mastodon. 🖖
Welcome new Mastodonian’s. 🖖🖖🖖

@PublicChaffinch I came to see John Mastodon but stayed to watch Freddi Verse.

@eastauthor I never point out spelling mistakes, but certain words and contexts trigger an exception … 😆

@atomicpoet it’s a multiverse. In some of these, they are central servers.

Want to work on Mastodon full time? I’d like to pay a Rails dev for the next 3+ months to implement some auth improvements that matter to me but also just burn down bugs, make perf improvements, whatever is needed as this place grows. Remote 100% ok but ideally need 1+ hrs of Pacific time zone overlap, 3+hrs of GMT overlap, fair pay, meaningful work. [edit: email info@moth.social to discuss more] #fedihire #ruby #rails #job

If you’re going to leave Twitter, please don’t
a) delete your account, because someone bad will steal your handle
b) delete your Tweets, because their existence doesn’t help Elon and it’s like burning the Library of Alexandria.

Twitter captures a real-time historical record of a couple of decades and the billions of individuals’ snapshots are irreplaceable.

The thought of all those tweets being erased makes me feel physically sick.

[please pass on if you agree.]

5/🧵 Mastodon and the broader Fediverse work using a protocol called ActivityPub.

If you're interested in how that works from a technical perspective, a good place to start is tinysubversions.com/notes/read by @darius

If you're curious about where that tech goes next, follow @cwebber who is CTO at @spritelyinst working on awesome stuff like github.com/ocapn/ocapn

I put @tomgauld's brilliant new comic for @newscientist alongside Ibn Al-Rabin's masterpiece “Le Verbe Prophétique” as demonstrating the ways you can do things in comics seemingly simple yet bewilderingly complex that can only be done in comics.
