  - and a pretty crappy campaign by Hochul -- nm - Jovian Nov 9, 13:59 10
    - She hasn't done much of anything to have a name in the city. She's barely known and not well liked though not disliked as far as I can tell. - Krusty Nov 9, 14:22 9
      - There was zero enthusiasm to vote for her. It was mostly fear of Zeldin winning that drove the meager numbers to the polls. My neighborhood was down - Krusty Nov 9, 14:24 5
        
        Yeah, she pretty much just...exists. -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 14:26 4
        
        (I voted for her on the WFP line of course) -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 14:31 3
        
        Same. I've been voting on their party line for many years now. As he did to many good people in this state, Cuomo screwed them over so I'm glad - Krusty Nov 9, 14:34 2
        
        I've voted on the WFP line (whenever possible) since I moved to the city - ty97 Nov 9, 14:35 1
        
        Nice! -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 14:46
      - Eric Adams shitting on his own city as a crime-ridden hellhole for a year probably did more to hurt than Hochul -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 9, 14:23 2
        
        Really unhappy with him as Mayor, worse than I expected (and I expected it to be not good) -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 14:27
        
        Yeah, he's an asshole and nearly everything he's said over the past year had only hurt her and helped Zeldin. Adams looks worse every day - Krusty Nov 9, 14:26
- Social -- nm - Mara Nov 9, 13:49 1
  - drinking -- nm - prayformojo Nov 9, 14:18

In retrospect, the thought that the district that sent DeFazio to Congress for decades would elect a Republican was laughable. - Mop Nov 9, 13:38
Warnock runoff email #1 has arrived -- nm - oblique Nov 9, 13:35 1
- Was it from Jaime Harrison? -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 9, 13:58

"We should secure a Mastodon account." "The problem is that works in one instance, but anyone could grab our name in any other instance." - Office Transcripts Nov 9, 13:21 18
- Haven't tried, but just reading these posts makes it clear I'm not doing this. Not to mention that I find the idea of calling the server (or group or - pmb Nov 9, 14:04 2
  - heh, I was just thinking the same. I’ve spent almost 14 years -- (edited) - b. Nov 9, 14:06 1
    - Weirdly, the founder of Mastodon himself uses "post" instead of "toot" now. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 15:15
- I found out when signing up with an app I ended up on an “adult” server so in process of moving. - spamlet Nov 9, 13:29 1
  - All should feel free to join the one I’m on, mastodon.coffee. Or any other, of course. I have a post on a backboard about it. -- nm - Mara Nov 9, 13:48
- See, that's where you set up your own instance. Then you know anyone on that instance is the actual sender. Like email. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 13:22 11
  - So was their intent that identity validation would mirror email in such that instead of disconnected instances you would have company/organization - oblique Nov 9, 13:31 1
    - I wouldn't say that was the intent (because I don't know). It's a convenient use case of the way it has been designed. -- nm* - Beryllium Nov 9, 14:54
  - still could have duplicate name on other servers [email protected] -- nm - budice Nov 9, 13:23
  - Now we're trying to figure out - is Truth Social just a Mastodon instance? -- nm - Max Nov 9, 13:23 6
    - Yes, but blacklisted from the Federation for violating the Khitomer Accords -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 14:52
    - They use the software (open source) but are not in the fediverse that we usually mean with the word Madtodon. Same with CounterSocial. -- nm - Mara Nov 9, 13:46
    - Yes but they also violated the Mastadon license -- (link) - oblique Nov 9, 13:28 2
      - At the same time, they're not technically an instance as they're not part of the federation of instances? -- nm - JD Nov 9, 13:43 1
        
        It's the software, but not the interconnection. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 14:53
    - That's what I've heard. -- nm - psilotum Nov 9, 13:27
  - (follow-up) - Beryllium Nov 9, 13:23
- nice -- nm - budice Nov 9, 13:22

- This can't possibly be what I think it is. -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 9, 13:16 4
  - You're thinking of VajayjayCon -- nm - oblique Nov 9, 13:18
  - VeeCon is a multi-day superconference with discussions and performances from iconic and emerging leaders in web3, Business, and Popular Culture. - Spawn Nov 9, 13:18 1
    - I wonder if CJ's NFT buddies are coming to this? -- nm - Remlik Nov 9, 13:39

      - RNC is at least pretending for now that if Trump announces they'll stop paying his legal bills - hollywood big shot Nov 9, 13:23 7
        
        In the past couple of years he's lost the House, the Senate, his own re-election and now the mid-terms have disappointed. -- (edited) - Diva Nov 9, 13:34 6
        
        Interestingly, I think this is going to be a weird situation where the "party" is going to try to move on, but I'm not sure his base will let them. - pmb Nov 9, 14:07 3
        
        They might if Fox News tells them to. -- nm - Mara Nov 9, 14:21 2
        
        Murdochs are all in on DeSantis after yesterday. will be a great test of whether the tail is wagging the dog or vice versa -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 9, 14:31
        
        I don't think they wanted Trump at the outset, but they saw which way the wind was blowing and jumped on board. -- nm - pmb Nov 9, 14:28
        
        it's exactly like how every business he's ever run into the ground his whole life has ended up -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 9, 13:56 1
        
        exactly. -- nm - Diva Nov 9, 14:03
      - Let them fight. -- nm - Spawn Nov 9, 13:23 1
        
        word -- nm - Diva Nov 9, 13:29
  - Does he mean the guy that *won* his reelection campaign? -- nm - Spawn Nov 9, 13:15 2
    - Yep. But you see, DJT is superior the being because he got 1 million more votes in his election than poor Ron did in his. -- nm - Jovian Nov 9, 13:17 1
      - Put both in a room with a couple of knives and clubs and a camera recording it. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 9, 13:22
