What I liked about original twitter was hearing funny one liners from comedians.

@Novela really good recommendations on this thread. The beige.party contingent always have me giggling. I would also add these, if you didn't get already @MostlyHarmless , @donni , @UncleDuke1969 and @LikeItOrLumpIt

@Guillotine_Jones I honestly don’t know where my response came from, which is extremely representative of my overall shtick

[reverendspicy@starlite.rodeo]

@Novela I miss this too! Only got a couple toots, but this is the energy I'm trying to emulate.

@adhdeanasl

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"

@Novela not a person, but a hashtag #dadjokes sometimes has some gems.

[falcennial@mastodon.social]

@IMS @wagesj45 @Novela answer the question.

@Alice @troy @gregthemiller

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.

Hi everyone 👋 @justincox @Novela @Nickiquote @surdfish @mothninja @futurebird @benroyce @GayDeceiver @skinnylatte

I'd like to drag @catsalad, @h3mmy, and @SaucySwampHag into the fray too 😋

@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.

[supermoosie@mastodon.au]

@Novela

You can follow the hashtag #dadjokes

Or there is a bot @dadjokes

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

@Novela

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.
