You walk away from the christmas tree for 5 minutes and this happens…

I noticed our loaf had gone, er, very mouldy. This gave me an idea; how about I take macro shots like people do with moss? Maybe it'll be just as pretty?

Well, er, it's pretty horrifying anyway.

"the secret scientists don't want you to know!!" Dude have you ever met a single scientist? My scientist friends are desperate for me to know about the changing mating habits of Brown marmorated stink bugs. They're screaming at the top of their lungs to tell you EVERYTHING.

Hey Mastodon folks

You may not be aware but there is a thriving community of people sharing photos of MOSS

Like, several times a day man, it's great

They have a hashtag:

#Mosstodon

moss moss moss moss MOSS

Awareness post: there is an instance on fedi called 'dolphin.town' where you can only post 'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'

my experience on this dying world has been made richer through this knowledge, and may yours be also

Everything *else* aside, having a government account hosted on a community server seems an awful lot like having a government website hosted at something like

bobspersonalpage.com/users/~InternalRevenueService

I will still call them Toots and there’s NOTHING you can do to stop me from going TOOOOT when I Toot a Toot and imagining Pingu saying TOOT TOOT. Nothing.

😒✋ admins are landlords

😏👉 domain registrars and hosting companies are landlords, admins are renters, users are the thousands of rats and bugs that live in the apartment's walls

We biology geeks may sound elitist when we use scientific names instead of common names, but we're really just trying to avoid this:

Honestly the kind of chaotic energy I aspire to. Hbomberguy is like some kind of trickster spirit.

I wonder if it would be worth trying to create a new hashtag for #furrymastoadmin types to discuss things. #weirdmastoadmin? #mastoadminswhowereherebeforeekonmuskboughttwitter?

It is kinda neat that there is a distinct possibility of *everyone* suddenly being here on Mastodon but I have been on the Internet since before the WWW existed and I have seen communities on it get irrevocably changed by too many new arrivals, and I am feeling an urge to make sure the space we have carved out here remains viable. Perhaps I am being overly defensive and everyone will see the sense in a lot of the social conventions we’ve built here and adopt them, I was pleased to see the admin of a “journalist” instance come around on the existing conventions around content warnings for politics/news, for instance!

But I think I’m gonna pin those hashtags in a column for now and see if anyone else shows up with things to say about these issues.
