I'm so happy mastodon is really popping off. You new kids probably wouldn't realize it but just three weeks ago you used to have to read your toots aloud to your exhausted family members and random strangers on the train if you wanted anyone to see them

@aeva <one week later> FUCKIN KIDS GET OFF MAH SERVER pings gone to shit federated feed's scrolling at a zillion miles an hour goddam Elmo.

@TomF no! the lag is good! lag is friend! lag gives plausible deniability on if you're ignoring messages to reply to later or simply haven't seen them yet.

@aeva @TomF my joke for this one would be to only fav or reply a year later but i'm rampantly impatient

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@lritter @TomF just set a calendar reminder. i'll be very confused and then think it's hilarious

[jon_valdes@mastodon.gamedev.place]

[jon_valdes@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@lritter @aeva @TomF it's interesting that "goddamn Elmo" continues to be relevant...
