I have to admit this year has been destructively stressful for me. I wish I could feel some sense of accomplishment about work done, but it's just not there, just this sense of a million other things that are urgently overdue and another million I'm forgetting.

If you’ve got questions about what interoperability with #Threads means, we wrote this up back in July, and you can still refer to it:

#Threads is testing federation for a few selected profiles. I'm now following @mosseri! It's one-way for now, but it's exciting. It's a step towards the interoperable social web that we've been advocating for 🙂

Here’s our tree!

I liked the colors here. Cumbria.

Today's the last day to get #Mastodon merch with a 20% discount. There's about 70 winter mugs left and I don't know when we will print more.

#Mastodon mugs are very comfortable to drink from. I’m really happy with how these turned out. Shout out to @dopatwo for all the official artwork as always! Only 125 left in stock!

Between @MrLovenstein, @warandpeas, @exocomics, @oglaf and @Chrishallbeck, Mastodon is very well covered in terms of webcomics. I only wish False Knees was here, too.

A skateboard of beer with @bibabobubi…

She is comfortable enough to routinely steal my chair now.

Deutsche Bahn is reliable in nothing but its own unreliability. Not enough expletives to describe. Every time I need to get somewhere.

Do you live in or near #Manchester, UK, and want to adopt a kitten? 4 of the kittens at my in-laws' place are still looking for a home. They're a few months older than on this picture. PM me for contact details if interested or want to know more.

Now would be a good time for all European politicians and journalists to setup accounts on Mastodon.

Sometimes I think about how much media will be forever lost in decades to come because everything is now on streaming platforms that delete things on a whim instead of physical media.

@matt @nileane That's how the design was supposed to look, but then people complained 😦

We already had something that turned text prompts into art, it was called paying an artist.

"AI" is really the new "blockchain" in how every company is trying to hit the buzzword bingo with it right now.

Making people pay to tweet should be the nail in the coffin for #Twitter; but then again I thought turning it into a glorified Parler would've been that nail already. As they say, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

We're going to make a #Mastodon plushie and it's going to be very cute! I'll share more details once the prototype is done—the concept art is very promising and our partners at FRESH have a good track record of making plushies 🙂
