RT @doniveson@twitter.com: The role cities play in building our nation is clear and mandated by voters. The recent news of interference in the #yyz election by the Ontario gov is alarming & flies in the face of local democracy: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/commentary/article-respecting-the-independence-of-canadas-cities-is-critical-to-ensuring/ #CDNmuni #CDNpoli #onpoli #yegcc 🇨🇦

But why would I want to do a thing like that?

Did you know that you don't need to use link shorteners (bit.ly, etc.) on Mastodon? All links, no matter how long, only count for 23 characters against your 500 limit!
(And since link shorteners are bad for user experience and break the web, there's almost no good reason to use 'em! 😄)
Novelty account recommendations? Specifically, personifications of things like cities, weather and animals.
Insightful commentary on how the web's become hugely centralised:
Friendly reminder: this isn't Twitter.
If you're mad about something? Use a content warning.
If you want to write a long post? Use a content warning.
Don't share screenshots of toots that make you mad, and don't follow people that make you mad.
You've left the swirling fire vortex of rage birdsite created to keep investors and advertisers happy. Live free! Live well 👍
Update: my wife bought me a spare dongle for $10, so that’s good, and I borrowed a 2TB drive from the office, and am now in the process of backing everything up to it before wiping the failing partition and copying everything back over.

In retrospect I should have added a “yet” to that. Empathy and communication skills can (and should) be learned!
So, let's start this off with a sub-toot 😉:
If you can't tell the difference between disagreeing with colleagues and shitting all over their work, perhaps your conversations shouldn't be posted publicly for everyone in the world to read…
IF YOU BOOST THIS IN 10 SECONDS YOU WILL HAVE AN IMAGE OF A CAT ON YOUR PROFILE!! NOT A JOKE I JUST TRIED IT IT WORKS
@eevee Are you on/have you heard of Micro.blog? It’s like a federated Twitter, but with a paid hosting option…
It's always a little sad when you try to help someone make things better, and they swear at you and storm off (virtually speaking, that is). 🙁
There are more people using Mastodon today than any IRC network. Just think about /that/ one.
