I haven't had to think about rate limits since the good old days when I tweeted an entire genome and had to be very careful to stop them from putting me in Twitter jail. And then I had several genomes going at once bwahaha. It was an art. As quick as possible but only just. And they tried everything to stop me making accounts but I have about 80 lol

For Penguin Awareness Day I’ll celebrate the only individual in the military I respect: a king penguin in Edinburgh Zoo named Brigadier Sir Nils Olav III. He's a Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian King's Guard. Here he is inspecting the troops. He isn’t pleased

First of my bird site bots is on mastodon now: @GIFEarth

It communicates with #NASA to see if any new pictures were taken yesterday of our planet using the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the DSCOVR spacecraft 1.5 million kilometres away at Lagrange point 1

It then combines the images into an animated GIF showing what our world looked like yesterday

It’s in an instance made entirely for #bots so if you hate bots you can block the instance and never have to see any

I’m seeing a lot of new faces I know from other sites making and pinning introductory toots to say hi and list their hobbies and interests etc. Welcome! 💜

If you’re interested in getting your introduction in front of more people and making some new connections, consider adding the “introduction” hashtag to your toot. People check the hashtag to find new people to follow!

Also hashtag your interests. The feature is used a lot more here for discoverability 😊

Some of you know I used to work on dams in Scotland to make sure they aren’t going to kill everyone and I’ve just learned #Andor features the first one I ever worked on. Hello Cruachan!

Behind the scenes shots like this are so weird to see when you know the location haha

I'm on a video call and someone has an image of leafy bushes and trees as their background. Someone just brought them something to drink and then backed away, vanishing into the leafy background, and it was exactly like that GIF of Homer Simpson backing away

I love that mastodon has a built-in feature for deleting your posts of a certain age and there's so much control over exemptions

If you haven't seen it yet, you can pick a timescale like 2 months and it will delete posts when they reach that age but you can tell it to ignore pinned toots, bookmarked toots, even toots that have reached a specific number of favourites or boosts. Great to have it built in

I just think of it as letting people have their boundaries and letting them choose if or when they want to engage in stuff that’s potentially distressing or annoying some of the time

Something that helps me remember the difference between CWing sensitive content on Twitter (e.g. violence) and the more liberal use of it on mastodon is to consider “doomscrolling”. Some people don’t want to be doing that and they can always click and reveal if they do

I wouldn’t CW a news article on Twitter but it would be the right thing for people to do on mastodon. Your toot might just be on a niche topic you know a lot of people are sick of seeing like a sport or a specific politician
