- Comment on Mastodon Says App Downloads Up 47% on iOS Amid Twitter Exodus 3 days ago:
The weird thing is that it doesn’t matter what instance/server your friends are on. If they follow you, they’ll get all your posts in their feed. The best advice I can give anyone starting out on Mastodon is to follow tags instead of people in order to surface interesting posts, then you can follow people as they come up on feeds.

I like this idea! It helps get people some traction out there without them needing to put effort into fumbling around how to do it. Kind of like a push start. I’m going to start doing this!

- Comment on Toyota boasts new battery technology with 745-mile range and 10-minute charging time — here’s how it may impact mass EV adoption 11 months ago:
It still blows my mind that Toyota single-handedly made hybrids a very successful thing and yet squandered that position to Elon effing Musk. Toyota could’ve been THE market-leader for EVs while still making a killing with the Prius and ICE cars. They’d have a solid lock in all markets.
Toyota has one of the best reliability reputations of any automaker and yet anyone in the EV market (like I was recently) passes them over because they have zero models to sell. Instead of parlaying the Prius’ R&D into a viable EV too, they’ve left money on the table. Hyundai has gone all in and is selling a ton of EVs. I see more of theirs / Kia’s on the road than anything else (besides teslas).
