Mighty OrbotThe mightiest orbot of them all. #Transformers, #DogsOfMastodon and assorted geekery.
I occasionally boost political content, but I try to CW all my own political posts. Please hide my boosts or filter out “uspol” if you don’t want to see any of that stuff.
Mighty OrbotA short #introduction for those who want one:
I’m a middle-aged #JavaScript and #CSS developer whose internet obsessions include #Transformers, #XMen, #Apple hardware, #DoctorWho, and the #Chicago #Cubs. My favorite author is #GNUTerryPratchett and my favorite humans are my kids and my partner, who you probably won’t read about here much out of respect for their privacy.
Oh, and we have a #husky, who’s easily my favorite pet ever.
Mighty OrbotDid you know that you can hide followed accounts from your home feed by adding them to a list? This means Mastodon works great as a newsreader:
1. Create a new list named “News”.
2. Set the list to “Hide these posts from home”.
3. Search for accounts to follow. You can find a lot of major news outlets by searching for profiles with “flipboard.com” in their name.
4. After you follow an account, select the action menu (three dots) from their profile page to add them to your News list.
Mighty Orbot“Okay, so you’ve made some bad decisions. You’ve hurt people. You’ve hurt yourself.
“You’ve stumbled through life from one self-inflicted disaster to the next without anything even approaching a plan.
“To which I say—welcome aboard.
“Maybe you’re not good… but you’re sure as hell good enough.”
- Rodimus, broadcasting to his crew, “Lost Light” issue 24

Mighty OrbotI’m starting a campaign to get IDW #BeastWars Nyx added to the #Transformers Legacy toyline.
Pros:
• original female character
• everyone loves beast bots
• easy head swap/repaint into Convobat for the Optimus Prime completionists
Cons:
• nope, she’s a Maximal (badum-tsss)
