[Wayback/Archive] Mastodon Flock
Welcome to the Mastodon Flock installation wizard.
This program will guide you through finding your Twitter contacts on the Fediverse, provided they have added their external contact information on their profile name, description, URL or pinned Tweet.
It is open source in the repository [Wayback/Archive] WesSouza/mastodon-flock: Let the birds flock to Mastodon.
I love the retro Windows 95 Installer look which is even continued in the [Wayback/Archive] About (“how this software works”), and [Wayback/Archive] Privacy Policy:

You can find the binary files sound files of the Mastodon beep sound at
They were created by [Wayback/Archive] Josef Kenny (blog: [Wayback/Archive] josef.one; Mastodon “i made that mastodon boop sound”: [Wayback/Archive] josef (@jk@mastodon.social) – Mastodon) early 2017 and updated with metadata later that year.

Het bericht over de aanvaring tussen Jean Marc van Tol en het BSKY moderatie-team – hij kwam op de blacklist vanwege een bericht waarvan het op zijn minst discutabel is of hij daarvoor 4 strafpunten hoort te krijgen met daardoor automatisch een 3-daagse ban – stop hij op dat medium.
Kennelijk mag je daar niet uiten dat je blij zou zijn wanneer Trump hemelt: dat wordt geschaard onder dood wensen¹.
Het Fokke en Sukke account is er inmiddels leeg: [Wayback/Archive] Fokke & Sukke (@fokkesukke.bsky.social) — Bluesky
Maar zowel Jean Marc als Fokke en Sukke blijven actief op onder andere Mastodon, zie de linkjes in [Wayback/Archive] Post by @wiert.bsky.social — Bluesky:

There is this German joke about “WLAN-Kabel” (WiFi-cable) ** that goes with #Neuland (Germans mocking about Internet and technology still being uncharted territory*).
Yes, they do!

That still works, but there is a new parameter on the block that is officially undocumented, and can be used to switch into various search modes including image search but also AI-less search.
This drastically lowers the carbon footprint and also gets you far less speculative information.
Edit 20251023: I forgot to save the below part before the scheduled post got published. So here we go

Hopefully by now (given Spare Karen’s moves), this still exists: [Wayback/Archive] Moa
