If you are curious about Mastodon, I’ve setup an instance for Vermonters and “Vermonters at heart” 🤓 —> Vermont.masto.host
If you use a browser, be sure to set up “Advanced Web View” for a Tweetdeck-like experience. You can also find apps for iOS (I use Metatext) and Android.
I was hoping it was about a living Mastodon walking around the state. Bummer 😓
I thought a mastodon fossil had been uncovered instate and was real psyched :(
I came expecting tusks ;\
Same 😔
I mean....they just played Montreal in September...
Yeah, Bell Center is VTs only true concert venue unless you want a boomer or country band at the fair grounds.
Higher ground is decent
Cow pastures occasionally can be concert venues
I was there twice this year, and multiple times to Mtelus. One thing I've got to say that's great about Montreal: they have a solid metal fan base, and a wide bunch of subgenres hit there. Heck, I'd never be able to see Heilung around here.
Amyl and the Sniffers were up there back in May and it was fantastic!
Edit: not at the same venue
I thought fossils maybe.
I was excited and then quickly disappointed
I was excited for either one to be honest
I too was disappointed. Remember when they played 242?
I got so excited haha
Same
Thought we were getting a concert, nope just the hall monitor twitter lol
You are not.
Mastodon saves all DM clear text in the sql database. So the admins can read all your DMs for ever. This is a non-starter for most people.
Wait until I tell you about pretty much every service you use online...
In any case E2EE DMs in mastodon are in development
This isn’t an argument.
I absolutely use no services that save my DMs clear text. Should not have even started the app with on service, non-public messages.
it’s a non starter and I recommend no one use it. If this is the the security they thought was ok, imagine the rest of it. Join Mastodon and just wait for the alert that your information has been compromised.
Couldn't you just use it knowing what you say might be read in the future? How are you ok with Reddit?
> Should not have even started the app with on service, non-public messages.
Maybe the service you think they should have built is not the one they wanted to?
It's not a private messaging protocol. It's an ActivityPub implementation, a public-posting protocol.
In fact, DMs in Mastodon are broadcast to anyone mentioned in them; if you @jsled@mstdn.io in a DM to your buddy, talking shit about me, it gets posted to my inbox!
If you want secure private comms, use Signal, use Cwtch, use SSB.
Just send an sql injection attack as a dm. Dogshit security.
People complaining about DM clear text need to re-read the reddit terms of service.
LOL, thank you
Why would anybody need this when there is now new and improved Twitter
Summary:
Link to twitter alternative called Mastadon
Just be wary of some of the security issues that are being discovered now that the platform is surging.
This was extremely disappointing
Do we have a mountain named Blood Mountain? That would be perfect! 😉🤘
Awesome thanks! I tried out mastodon for a little a while back. Couldn't really get into it. But I also hardly use Twitter or Facebook.
I'm just really getting into twitter now...
Sorry to disappoint on both counts! 😃
There has been a lot of bot activity on twitter encouraging people to leave the platform since November 6. Ask yourself why.

Am I the only one disappointed this post was not about the band Mastodon visiting VT on an upcoming tour?
