I may have taken #FuckOffFriday a little too literally on Twitter today, but Elon has really just taken things too far.

He has now marked all Substack links as spam, and you can no longer like or comment on any outlines to Substack.

Anyway, so happy that this is the first #FediFriday of many more #FediFridays to come!

#TwitterMigration #Introduction #Welcome

Another post for #FediFriday on this, the first of many #FediFridays to come!

Who would you like to see post more here on the Fediverse? Who do you wish were more active? Who came here a while back and then maybe doesn't come around as often as you'd like? No shame, no blame, just ... who do you miss around these parts?

You don't even have to be sure they aren't here, because without an algorithm, it might just be a matter of timing! For me, it's @Pwnallthethings

Who is it for you?

I think that finding new people in the Fediverse is one of the hardest things about getting here, and since there is no algorithm, having a slow feed is one of the biggest problems that people face in making it sticky here when they get here. I think that #FediFridays will make this better, but I think it's also important that everyone share good people to follow!

So, who do you love to follow? Who shows up in your feed and makes you happy? Share a couple of people in the comments!

#FediFriday

I know we all don't have the same tastes, but here is a random sampling of people who show up in my feed a lot whose posts make me smile, think, giggle, or that I otherwise appreciate and enjoy:

Long running, oft-fined for crimes like money laundering and sanctions violations #cryptocurrency exchange #Bittrex announced it would be easier for them to leave the USA than to prove to American regulators a few days ago.

The best part is that #Bittrex gave people ~48 hours to setup bank accounts for wire transfers.

gonna be a long weekend for some #Ponzi schemers....

For the first #fedifriday or #fedifridays I’ll add a couple of my favorite #nyc #toynbeetiles both of which can be found in #manhattan

I’m jealous that #houseofhades keeps his best stuff in #newyork but at least it’s just a quick train ride from #philly

Looking forward to seeing some new stuff in #brooklyn when I’m up that way later this month. Always happy to answer #toynbee /house of hades tile questions

@JasonPerseus @w7voa @benjaminwittes let’s have our first journalism through mastodon story story on our first #FuckOffFriday #FediFriday #FediFridays as we try to get people off the sinking ship of Twitter 😇

@lyndawoolard woohoo! 🎉 #FuckOffFriday #FediFriday #FediFridays

#FuckOffFriday #FediFriday #FediFridays

@shoq @mmasnick woohoo, our first #FuckOffFriday #FediFriday #FediFridays

Elmo's decision to mess with #Substack links on bird app has me revisiting the pre-written history by noted psychic / clairvoyant #ChuckTingle. Also it's time for more #FediFridays.

@mattjhodgkinson @substackinc @PublicChaffinch @Cosmic_Ray here’s our newest thought on a solution, check out the hashtags #FuckOffFridays #FediFriday #FediFridays

@kevinmirsky @GossiTheDog get on board with #FuckOffFriday #FediFriday #FediFridays 🥳

@atrupar @Cosmic_Ray today is #FuckOffFriday #FediFriday #FediFridays check the hashtags for more details, we are starting a movement to counter this madness 🥰

I have taken the time to personally walk some incredibly tech savvy people through the transition to mastodon this week, and as ridiculous as it may sound to me, I can see where there are still real barriers to entry, depending on your perspective on certain technical things. And that’s something that just requires better UI, better documentation, better explainers, all very overcomeable hurdles.

#FuckOffFriday #FediFriday #FediFridays

and that’s totally fair. some of them know nothing of the fediverse, or don’t follow enough people, or haven’t found the right apps or tools, or haven’t found the right ways to interact. these things take time and we have to give people grace and time!

#FuckOffFriday #FediFriday #FediFridays

hiiiiiiii it’s #FuckOffFriday and it’s so exciting! I’m so excited about #FediFridays or #FediFriday, which is it? and all the possibility…it really is just like meatless mondays, you can get so many more people in the conversation when you aren’t asking them to quit the other place forever …

@JoshuaHolland

do you evangelize them to at least try joining us here? I was thinking #FediFridays might be a cool thing. get them to try only using this place every Friday.

Vamos arriba esos edredones #fedifridays , venga que el Viernes es fresquito, si, pero nos lo merendamos y luego... ¡¡¡el finde!!!
Así que no se diga más, venga ese café, que rule en cantidades industriales y aquí algo de música lenta 🎶🎶 :mastodance: 🎶🎶
