mastodon 4.8.0-alpha.3+glitch

I was born. I haven't done much. I doubt I'm going to say anything much of interest.

As to the username, the short version is that the identity function in combinatorics is sometimes called the "Idiot Bird" (it only knows how to say it's own name). It's not a not very amusing observation about usernames and identity. For a much more interesting time, search for "combinatorics" and "birds" and read anything that looks interesting.

@azzageddi@zirk.us @ajsadauskas@aus.social @TeacherGriff@mastodon.coffee Totally support disengaging with problematic birdsite people, but my concern with a lot of the sorts of posts you mention is not the person making them (Mastodon is ill-suited to them and they should stay away) but that they often couch their decisions in general terms like "Mastodon is difficult and confusing" or "Having many different servers is hopeless" or "lots of error messages and glitchy" which are likely to dissuade others from even looking at Mastodon instances.

@redmark@mastodonapp.uk @azzageddi@zirk.us @ajsadauskas@aus.social @TeacherGriff@mastodon.coffee Yeah, I've seen some people straight up say that Mastodoon won't support their income model, which I have a lot more respect for than vague complaints. Also I think there's a lot of displaced anger which I get at some level but doesn't excuse falsehoods.
