Gotta keep my birbsite bot followers on their toes toot.cat/media/X0DpK5G4eee1esS

I've been up for 4 hours and only just now figured out it's not Thursday. How's *your* day going?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. I've seen the coyote frozen on my updated instance. I watched it glitter and animate on hover. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

@jk has anyone told you that your avatar is significantly more unsettling now that our instance only animates on hover? Because it is.

The first alt-right-ers are already popping up on Mastodon. That's okay though! One of the beautiful things about Mastodon's centralized/decentralized model is that it will encourage them to self-select into awful cesspool instances that tolerate their nonsense, which the rest of us can then safely ignore!

Holy cow, .social domains go for something like $130/year. Apparently we got some high rollers in the Mastodon admin ranks 💰💰💰

It's a mastodon! I wholeheartedly support the ideas behind this platform, though I am not optimistic about its chances of success. Here's to the hope that my first toot ever is proven wrong!
