@rufustheduck @dillyd Great to hear that you're liking it here!
Send cats.
@slothrop wilco!

@rufustheduck i think it is a combination of appreciation of pets and also people congregating who do seek something different from an o line network than the algorithm filled ones currently do.
And also welcome :)
@jenni thank you. I think you're absolutely right!
-
@rufustheduck That is a good looking cat.
@cjewel she says thank you

I joined #mastodon last week, on a whim, with no idea what to expect
Minutes later, I was welcomed by @dillyd which has never happened on any other platform and was a wonderful introduction. So I posted a couple pictures of my #cats, and found, to my surprise, people reacting and interacting
Maybe it's because I'm not fighting an algorithm, or maybe I just found a place where folks truly appreciate cats. Either way, I'm very happy to be here, and I hope you're prepared for more cat pictures
@rufustheduck more cat pictures = more better :)

@rufustheduck
I'm so happy you're liking it here.
Shout out to @Kitty who published a twelve days of fedi thread on welcoming new people to mastodon. They inspired me. -
Thanks for the shout out @dillyd 💚
Welcome to the fediverse
@rufustheduck being found by Dillyd means that you're in great company, and will have loads of cool content in your home timeline 🤩 -

OH! they surely love cats in Mastodon, I've seen the tags #CatsOfMastodon and #Caturday in amusing cat pictures ;)

@rufustheduck @dillyd Welcome. All the best freaks are here.
@toxy thank you. I've been looking for some high-quality freaks

@rufustheduck @dillyd cats are a GREAT introduction. Cats with alt text are even better!

@rufustheduck @dillyd welcome aboard. I joined this platform last week and I must say, I'm really impressed with it.
@CathyBikesBook
A big welcome to you, too, Cathy! I've just sent you a follow request.
@rufustheduck -
Welcome! Not only a lovely cat photo but you added Alt Text too 👏
It might be worthwhile for you to know that this place runs on hashtags. They are effectively the algorithm 🙂👍
The Fediverse is a great place!
@grb090423 thank you. I'm certainly enjoying it
-
@rufustheduck Bring on the cats! 😺
@StefanieH can do!
-
@rufustheduck @dillyd be careful it appears to be a friendly invitation but could be a perilous trick #cats #catsofmastodon
@jeffron I'm very familiar with the trick

@rufustheduck@CathyBikesBook
What brought you here? Did you already know people on here? I see you like bikes and books. If you haven't found them already, you might like the BikeTooter and bookstodon hashtags. -

@rufustheduck @dillyd Mastodon is a pretty remarkable place full of amazing individuals.

@kenobit dove lo hai trovato? Allungo sempre l'occhio nei mercatini dell'usato, ma dalle mie parti più che piatti e madonne non si trovano di solito

@Kahte @GillesLeCorre2 uaooo! Quelle élégance dans la mise en place! Vous mangez avec les "bâtonnets" chinois ?

Concordo.

@Zambunny @vonblubba (nel mio caso, cerco bene o male di rendere la vita semplice — o quantomeno non ostacolarla artificialmente — ad eventuali front-endisti che vogliano scrivere un'interfaccia alternativa, e ha pure funzionato, ma io quella roba¹ nel mio tempo libero non voglio toccarla :D )
¹ non le interfacce grafiche, le librerie per scrivere interfacce grafiche

@Zambunny @vonblubba chi programma software open source di questo genere spesso lo fa anche perché ha un'esigenza, la risolve, e poi gli sembra stupido non condividere con gli altri la soluzione, supponendo che ci siano altri con lo stesso problema *e le stesse preferenze*.
Ma se uno sta sviluppando software per risolvere un suo problema, lo fa nel modo che per lui risulta comodo, non va a complicarsi la vita per sviluppare una soluzione che magari per altri è più comoda e accessibile, ma per lui è peggio.
E quindi gli sviluppatori back-end sviluppano tool da riga di comando, perché è quello che usano, e troverebbero molto fastidioso dover litigare con un tool grafico, oltre a non essere capaci di scriverlo.
(potrebbe esserci dell'esperienza personale qui dentro O:-) )

@Andrepax @GustavinoBevilacqua ma in questo delirio utopico cos'è che ha causato la migrazione di massa?
perché se è un'improvvisa presa di coscenza e desiderio di un social migliore tutte quelle persone possono tranquillamente arrivare qui in massa sul fediverso senza distruggerlo (ok, se arrivano veramente *tutti* in massa potrebbe esserci qualche problemino tecnico, ma quelli si risolvono)
mentre se è un motivo indipendente dalla natura dei social network, ma solo antipatia per meta, non vedo molti motivi per cui questa massa dovrebbe venire sul fediverso (se non di sfuggita) e non passare ad altri social tipo tik tok o al più bluesky (come del resto già un po' sta succedendo, visto che facebook e i social meta sono sempre più considerati da vecchi), senza cambiare significativamente le cose.
