Am 29. April 2022 habe ich mich erstmals im Fediverse registriert (auf mas.to).
Ein Jahr später bin ich dann hierher auf tyrol.social umgezogen.
3,5 Jahre also jetzt, dass ich von (damals noch) Twitter weg bin.
Eine gute Entscheidung! -

For centuries, we thought Queen Hatshepsut’s statues were smashed by a vengeful successor. But new research reveals a forgotten Egyptian ritual: “statue deactivation” — a spiritual safeguard, not destruction.
It’s time to rewrite history.

Unearthed in southern Italy, this 2,300-year-old dog-headed drinking vessel—called a rhyton—offers a rare glimpse into how ancient Greeks blended art, ritual, and wine.
Crafted in the era of Magna Graecia, it's both bizarre and beautiful.

Я ещё ни разу не писала об этом, но вообще сфера моих интересов довольно обширная и не сводится к публикации жоп и нытью о бывшем.
Поэтому сегодня я расскажу Вам об одном из самых странных событий средневековья- детском крестовом походе.
Вообще, детских крестовых походов было 2: один немецкий, другой французский.

Mastodon (2017年04月) #Mastodon #Mastodonhistory
-
Historical fiction seems to need a degree of familiarity to really sell, Wolf Hall is great but its success is likely partially precisely because the ground is so well covered already.
But what are some really interesting figures who'd make for a great novel/miniseries without the benefit of familiar context?
I'd suggest Edgar Ætheling and the Roman Emperor John VI. Both absolutely crazy stories from relatively obscure figures.

#RandyResnick - '#TheLegendOfJohnMastodon' (2022)
"When he was just 8 years old, John Mastodon's mother told him she knew he was destined for greatness. John decided to create #Mastodon. To start he to find a call. No, not a call, a #protocol. So he went to the #Acticity Pub. But it wasn't really a pub, but a protocol. He searched until he found #Gargron. The rest is His Story."

The way of working structures the #governance. Many "derivatives" have been created out of #Mastodon: each flavour uses two code packs:
🌳 the main software strategy is presided by one person (the founder as #benevolentDictator, Eugen Rochko);
🍃 a bough software depends on the former.🎯#Naming: A bough is a big branch of a tree, usually a primary one directly attached to the #trunk.
Pronunciation: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bough#Pronunciation

The governance of #Mastodon has been a heated subject for a long time: here is an excellent article by Ana Valens (dated 2019) on the power plays in Mastodon development: https://www.dailydot.com/debug/mastodon-fediverse-eugen-rochko/ #benevolence #power 🌈#alphabetMafia #networkPolitics #devGovernance #longread #peopleNotUsers

CW: The history of Mastodon’s terminology changes of “Publish!” to “Toot!” and back again.
In the beginning of Mastodon, you published posts. Later you tooted toots. Now you are publishing posts again.
In the current release candidate v4.0.0rc2, that many instances are running, you are publishing post again. Many third-party apps are still using the “Toot!” term, they may change it but they don’t have to.

@Gargron is there an account of early mastodon history somewhere online? somebody wrote about it?
i'm interested in 'so heard' masto origins in queer/trans furry #poc circles of developers (or non) (i might be wrong of course).
any links would be much appreciated. + sorry if this was asked before.
I'm working on a local presentation of fediverse and mastodon and want to present it right.
boosts also appreciated to reach anyone in the know.
