A guide to getting started with Twitter alternative Mastodon wapo.st/3FZsYuZ

Ayaka Nonaka What app do you use to access 🐘? I just created an account but my next steps are to find out how I’m going to access the site regularly and then port my follow list over.

Just so we’re on the same page: Graham once published an essay about how people who criticize Elon are just “haters” jealous of his success.

This was a bad take to begin with from the Director of Product Management at Twitter, and it’s now somehow even worse.

If you’re having decision making paralysis about what server to choose (like I was), don’t worry about it too much because you can 1. still talk to everyone and 2. always migrate your account later! I started with (and am still on) “mas dot to” if that helps.

I voted 🗳️✔️

I’m so confused by the small number of people in my timeline tweeting about normal things like nothing is going on. Please go do that on Mastodon instead 🤗

If you’re still here, please join us on Mastodon! If you follow me for iOS/Apple things, the community is already there and geeking out about Ivory like it’s 2011 again ✨ I even tweeted about something diversity & inclusion related recently and got zero trolls in my replies 🤯

Many people seem to want to join the mastodon.social instance but it is not currently accepting signups except through invitations. So here's an invitation link that is valid for the next 24 hours and can be used an infinite number of times: mastodon.social/invite/qFMXUw9k

👋 Hello! The Shortcuts team is hiring an intern for winter|spring|summer 2024 with some exp working on apps or frameworks for iOS, macOS, or watchOS. You’ll get to work with Obj-C, Swift, UIKit, AppKit, & SwiftUI. If this sounds fun to you, please DM me your resume. Thanks! 😊

My team at Apple (Shortcuts) is hiring an iOS software engineer to do weird things to computers and make Shortcuts even more integrated with the Apple ecosystem. Details at jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/…

During my time on this team I contributed to UIKit, SwiftUI, SpringBoard and plenty of other codebases - if you're looking for a role where you can impact how literally billions of Apple customers interact with their devices - look no further.

Some of my favourite drawings of the year. To see the whole collection got to: christophniemann.com/detail/travel-…

I would love to find a Japanese publisher for FILTERWORLD!

Today is the launch day of my new book FILTERWORLD: How Algorithms Flattened Culture! It's in stores and online everywhere now. Some glamour shots of the beautiful hardcover, designed by Oliver Munday. All the info you need is here: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/695902/f…

👋 I’m briefly back to recommend “Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture” by Kyle Chayka. I thought it would be too ironic to post about it on the very type of platform the book criticizes, but this is the kind of book that I wish would infiltrate Filterworld and go viral. 📕
