> Auto-antonyms are my new favorite thing :)

"cleave" is my long-time favorite autoantonym:

> Cleave
> 1. to adhere closely; stick; cling
> 2. to split or divide by or as if by a cutting blow

Oh wow, Steve Klabnik (author of #theRustProgrammingLangauge book and #rust core team member) is leaving Mozilla. https://words.steveklabnik.com/thank-u-next

Key quote:
> I could say a lot of things here, but I won’t get into the details. What’s really important is this: I’m not proud to be a Mozillian anymore.

I've heard some negative things about Mozilla lately, but this is something that personally moves the needle in a anti-mozilla direction more than, e.g., ads on the new-tab page

Also, I neglected to credit @kensanata whose mastodon-blocker CLI script (https://github.com/kensanata/mastodon-blocker) inspired me to write Mastodon De-Mob.

My tool does *basically* the same thing but from a web app instead of a python CLI (even though I'm personally partial to CLI apps, I thought the web app might be a bit more accessible, especially for those who don't currently have python installed).

The other day, I started wondering whose toots I've favorited most often—mostly as a "scientific" way to figure out who to feature on my profile.

One weekend-coding project later, and I can now share an app with all of you: the Tool for Tabulating Thirty Top Tooters (#t5, for short). https://t5.codesections.com.

It scans all the toots you've every favorited and ranks the top thrifty people who you've favorited most often. It's #freeSoftware and I hope you all enjoy!

I want to be able to tell my friends why #mastodon is better than the birdsite, so I wrote a thing: "Mastodon Is Better than Twitter: Elevator Pitch"
https://www.codesections.com/blog/mastodon-elevator-pitch/

I want this to be as persuasive as possible to outsiders, so I'd appreciate as much feedback as possible from Mastodon users
