#mastodonmonday — Public Fediverse posts

It's Monday, and that means it's #MastodonMonday. 🥳
For a more respectful and nourishing open social web that we all help to shape, here are three recommended people to follow that inspired me this week:

So on today's #MastodonMonday to-do list:

1. Start planning the #disenshittification move to self hosting and further reduction in US-based tech.

2. Move what little I have invested / in my pension to non-US funds.

I'm no longer prepared to support a rogue nation state that is fundamentally determined to fuck with the world order regardless of the cost.

Bonus points for sitting on something painful while doing this to externalise the right royal pain in the arse that this has become.

Happy #MastodonMonday yall. Let me know how you are if you see this.

Happy #MastodonMonday! If you see this post, feel free to #AskMeAnything

Happy #MastodonMonday one and all! Ask me a question, if ya like 🙂

Happy #MastodonMonday! I'm going to be focusing on Mastodon every Monday from now on, and will be giving Twitter/X a break that day of the week.

It's #MastodonMonday! Mom staff is still coping with the last of her #COVID cough symptoms. We're very thankful for the #Vaccines that have kept her safe from this virus, without which she undoubtedly would have been hospitalized & might not have survived. #MaskUp & get your #Updated #Vaccine #DaisyDoo #SheltieGirl #DogsOfMastodon

This #MastodonMonday I want to say that "modern" Dev is possible in #Perl.

I currently have a project that is using GotHub actions and Docker and Digital Ocean's app delivery to serve a website build on Mojolicious MVC framework.

Builds on every change and on a schedule; all the CI/CD goodness

Currently re-writing to use a CPAN module that will mean I maintain one template and a yaml file as someone else has built a better generic version of what I wrote (years ago)

Love the maturity of Perl

Today I will mostly not be checking ex-Twitter. I wonder how long I'll last! #MastodonMonday

Dr. Katy Smith from Georgia Southern University, Dr. Brett Dooley from @westernsciencecenter, and I are spending the day the Rancho La Brea Tarpits Museum measuring mastodons, like this lower jaw.

It's #mastodonmonday and I'm in a better place. RustIing leaves and sweet birdsong. With occasional painful shouting by other people's crappy dogs.

The downside of #MastodonMonday is that y'all see my Combi #xxrdle score.

@caseynewton If you struggle to quit Twitter maybe start with #MastodonMonday when you toot exclusively except to tweet that you're here for the day. We're more likely to find each other if we're all here at the same time.

@JamesGleick It's the network effect. Birdsite has the mass. I suspect many want to jump but want others to already be here. It's understandable. They come here and can't find the people they used to follow, either because they're not here or because search isn't great. I'm suggesting #MastodonMonday as a day willing birders only toot here and tweet to say that's what they're doing. Concentrate traffic, build connections and familiarity over time while maintaining awareness there.

Finally, I admit I hover between both. Still too many accounts to let go of. So to build some network effect here I suggest a weekly #MastodonMonday when birds on the fence commit to toot here only (except to tweet that they're here for the day). A regular change of scene to maintain awareness there and build familiarity & connection here while adding basic functionality to make this place, not more friendly which it already is, but more user-friendly for those who need encouragement. 4/4

Ouch! Closeup of a healed injury to my lower jaw. They tell me another #mastodon might have tried to stab me in the face with his tusk. #MastodonMonday #DailyMastodon #paleontology #fossil

Calling for #MastodonMonday when Birdie holdouts post here instead of there. Idea is to concentate traffic to make up for network effect keeping people there who want to move in principle.

Meantime. PLEASE. Full text search. It's been crucial to every aspect of the web and is here too.

1 simple solution: same as existing search engines. Crawl participating instances and index. "Participating" as in make it optional. Issue would be funding 3rd paty servers but can't beat Twitter without it.

The downside of #MastodonMonday is that you get my Wordle/Nerdle score. The upside. The numbers speak for themselves.

@hacks4pancakes @mastodonmigration
Realistically there are going to be big numbers of Twitter holdouts, myself included to some extent, because of the network effect. Sheer weight of numbers. It's hard for many to break completely. As an interim idea how about promoting #MastodonMonday? A day each week where tweeps accept to post exclusively on Mastodon. It could help create more to engage with and over time lead more people to hang out here more.

Today is all about #MammothMonday, this Columbian mammoth tusk, and partial pelvis, were recently returned to my hometown, New Ulm, Minnesota after an excellent pro-bono restoration by #TheSceinceMuseumOfMinnesota! These animals roamed Minnesota as the glaciers retreated. The specimens were found in some gravel deposits left by the prehistoric River Warren. The ancient river drained Lake Agassiz in central North America about ~12,000 years ago. #MastodonMonday #ShareYourDiscovery

It’s #MastodonMonday. It would be a shame if it trended on Twitter.

This Newly Discovered Mastodon Species Roamed California for Millions of Years

So should we start a #MastodonMonday like #TrilobiteTuesday for those remaining on Twitter. Show a pic of a mastodon.

It's almost #MastodonMonday again and as the weeks go on I find I'm checking Mastodon before Twitter the rest of the week as well. Pondering potential new year resolutions.

@supernovae Was unaware about this thing called #mastodonmonday So here's my invite at https://rural.blue .
Maybe we all should be getting somewhere. #soulasylum
