@kahuku Hey! Did you see? Masthead.social is an instance for media and media makers, and is populated largely by Hawaii folks right now. Come lurk the local timeline some time!
I'm moving to @editor@masthead.social! Please follow me there, I'm excited to be running my own instance thanks to @mastohost!
Remember #FollowFriday on Twitter? What if #Mastodon users did #FediFriday? You'd still recommend interesting people to follow, but the twist is you have to recommend someone on another instance! It encourages cross-community interaction and adds good stuff to the federated timeline. @Gargron
Hoping to catch the attention of journalists over on Reddit in r/Journalism... if you're a Redditor, I would love an upvote! https://www.reddit.com/r/Journalism/comments/avagha/masthead_mastodon_instance_for_journalists/
Thanks to @mastohost switched DNS for Masthead.social to CloudFlare. Should be zippier and, if it must fail, fail more elegantly going forward!
And of course as soon as I toot about it, it goes down. Alas I think @mastohost is sleeping so I can't get help for a bit. At least the signup form is still up!
It seems a rite of passage for geeks who fall in love with @Mastodon: I've started my own instance (thanks to @mastohost!). My peeps are journalists and other media makers, and I've built a home for them at Masthead.social (see what I did there?). If you're a news junkie, please join us!

@halcyon Beginner having trouble installing halcyon-suite. Loading in Safari gives me "Safari can't open the page "https://localhost" because Safari can't connect to the server "localhost"." Chrome says "This page isn’t working www.birdsite.masthead.social sent an invalid response.
ERR_INVALID_REDIRECT". What's missing from config.ini? Thank you!
Mastodon, the Twitter alternative, surpasses 2 million users https://www.techspotting.com/2019/02/23/mastodon-the-twitter-alternative-surpasses-2-million-users/ #mastodon #fediverse #socialmedia @Gargron @mastodonusercount
My wife and I haven't podcasted in years, so it was nice to be remembered and included in a roundup of seven Hawaii podcasts in the current issue of Honolulu Magazine! #podcasting
Woot woot! Toot toot! Thanks to @ashfurrow, mastodon.technology is now running Mastodon 2.7.1! Opt in to the member directory and help fellow tooters find each other! https://mastodon.technology/explore
Anyone else a domain name hoarder? Every goofy idea I have I grab a domain name for, but I hold onto it even when I never build anything. Most are Hawaii related. My weirdest domain is ry.ly, which I used for a link shortener, but I think it could be something much cooler. #domainnames
