What I liked about original twitter was hearing funny one liners from comedians. If anyone on here can tell me good one-liner comics to follow, I'd really appreciate it. (Also, I think currently 3 people will see this message, so maybe those people could give me a boost?)
@Novela I miss this too! Only got a couple toots, but this is the energy I'm trying to emulate.

@Alice Each of my posts is a treatise on 17th century disease which, when considered thoughtfully, is very funny @justincox @Novela @the_etrain @StefanThinks @TheBreadmonkey @gregthemiller @LoganFive @maxleibman
ah, those were the days.
Baroque culture
the Scientific Revolution
the world's first public company and megacorporation
Modern academic: "my heavily qualified argument marginally advances the sub-discipline"
17th century academic: "my treatise, inspired by yesterday's walk, revolutionizes philosophy, religion, and music. My critics are intellectually and sexually disordered"

Sorry I got so carried away I forgot to actually interact with this post. I wholeheartedly agree with Alice's list (Alice also happens to be The Best). Some other people I really enjoy....

@DamonHD @LoganFive @maxleibman @TheBreadmonkey @the_etrain @justincox @Novela @adhdeanasl @StefanThinks @gregthemiller PST, which means he's not funny from mid-March to mid-November.
@Alice @DamonHD @maxleibman @TheBreadmonkey @the_etrain @justincox @Novela @adhdeanasl @StefanThinks @gregthemiller
I can’t believe I have two more months of this shit. -

The half life of accounts on fuckaas.space seemed to be pretty low, although it might be average for that sort of migration from a different social network.
Hopefully theforkiverse ones last longer since that's a new instance rather than a migration from Bluesky or Twitter.

@TheBreadmonkey I always appreciate being summoned into threads like this 💕
@Alice@beige.party, always a pleasure 😊
Hi everyone 👋 @justincox @Novela @Nickiquote @surdfish @mothninja @futurebird @benroyce @GayDeceiver @skinnylatte
I'd like to drag @catsalad, @h3mmy, and @SaucySwampHag into the fray too 😋

@jaredwhite MedSystem helpfully informed me that my performance reliability was now at 58 percent and dropping, which was not a surprise.
@murderbotbot @jaredwhite @Novela the best thing about Murderbot is that it'll auto-respond to you with random quotes.
Particularly satisfying if you're having an apocalyptic day.

@kzeta Did I actually know what ART and its crew did? I had never bothered to ask

If you want people to see your posts you need to use hashtags. Boosts just clog up server storage & causes instances to fail when the costs for storage get out of control. "You're the algorithm" means you *subscribe* to the hashtags for topics you are interested in so they show up in your feed. The Fediverse runs on hashtags. If you don't use them, you're right - few folks are going to see your posts. There's nothing in your post that will put it in anyone's feed if you don't tag it.

It's helpful to know that comments under main posts don't show up in non-follower feeds, or if they forget to add a tag. It's also ok to boost older posts, since the timeline is strictly chronological. If you post something in the morning you can boost it in the evening, for example.
The other thing is to set your auto delete of posts to get old stuff you boosted off your server. Mine is set for 1 week, but there are other options. Bookmark your own posts if you want to keep them.

And if you don't want to see stuff about, say, sports teams, you can mute hashtags you don't want in your homefeed. That way you mostly only see things you're actually interested in seeing and can follow people who post regularly on topics you like.
Hope this helps.

@lauramassera Hai assolutamente ragione, ma diciamo anche che nel 2025 è impossibile non riconoscere che la malvagità antisociale è il tratto distintivo di quelle Big Tech che spesso si presentavano eticamente candide.
L'unica eccezione è probabilmente quella di Apple che effettivamente ha deciso, sia anche solo per questioni di marketing e narrativa aziendale, di opporsi alle nuove tendenze del cattivismo trumpiano

@mattwiebe.blog what a journey!
I’m really impressed by your plans... I don’t think I’d ever have enough courage to pull something like that off. I hope I’ll get the chance to try your pizza someday!
Would be a great reason to visit Mexico 🙂
...and thanks for all your work on the ActivityPub plugin, I really miss your contributions ❤️

@OpenSoul era quello che mi stavo chiedendo anch'io. Il guaio è che è difficile fare una discussione seria, perché la maggior parte dei commenti che si leggono sono a tesi...

@stefano I think, it had been like this for a while. Sites for lots of more or less big projects, especially if they have paid version of a product, are marketing and buzzwords. That why I usually go straight to Documentation->How to get started for some simple overview and examples.
Looks like they just added those AI buttons without changing a site much.

The Mechanically Perfect Lie
A loud noise outside my window brings back a memory from 2002. The night I truly could have died.

La battaglia per la libertà cognitiva nell'era dell'intelligenza artificiale aziendale
La libertà di pensiero non è solo uno scudo contro le intrusioni, è il terreno su cui costruiamo tutto il resto: il diritto di esprimersi, dissentire, credere, imparare, amare. Richiede sia libertà negative (da manipolazione, sorveglianza, coercizione) sia positive (di immaginare alternative, di cercare la verità, di plasmare le nostre opinioni e preferenze).

@Elizafox when I first saw the original post, I snickered*, but thought it wasn't worth boosting. Then I saw it a second time because of Mastodon timeline reset shenaningans, I snickered again, but this time I boosted it, because I felt that something that could make me snicker two times in a row was definitely worth boosting.
(* not sure if this is the right word?)
