Heck - slack threads would probably be adaptable for replies

I mean, most of the existing mechanisms would work, e.g. you add someone to one of your mastodon channels by @ mentioning their mastodon name, I don't underestimate the eng work to achieve this, but how often to opportunities like this come along?

And it could be done through the existing slack groups people have set up, where they have already included their colleagues/friends. The admin decides to turn it on, and the people on that (and other) slack channels have to subscribe to close the deal.

I already use slack for multiple entities, so it's right there. I could have multiple mastodon channels (linux folks, gamers, personal) and it gives people a valuable reason to pony up the subscription

Someone else must have had this idea already, but say, slack gets in to the mastodon space (as a premium option for, ooo, $8 a month) and provides you with a section of federated mastodon channels

To give a bit more context, Tony's Roadhouse was the reason I first got into podcasting! There would have been no Java Posse without @LostAirman and the Roadhouse!

And this came just a couple of weeks after Steve Wright announced he would not be doing the big show on radio 2 any more. Man - 2022 - the blows keep coming...

End of an era. We were a few episodes behind but just listened to the very last episode of the Roadhouse Podcast. Thanks to @LostAirman for all the work choosing some of the best blues I ever heard over the past 17 years, and now we have to find something else for pizza making

And that makes me feel old...

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

I already know I'm going to regret this. But. Is anyone having trouble texting their Android friends since the iOS 15 update?

One of the first things you learn in security and social engineering is that people will believe a lie for two main reasons, they want it to be true, or they are afraid it might be true. If you aren't sure, please seek the facts and evidence before passing along disinformation.

Went to see Cruella at the actual movies. I hoped it would be good but was delighted to find it was really, really good!

Hey @zwift and @strava - I notice more and more people logging their zwift rides on strava, any chance you might collaborate on virtual maps for those rides so we don't ride through the ocean in Strava? :-)

CBS needs a new Superbowl sound engineer. Audio is clipping but ads are fine

oh, bring me some figgy pudding, and a cup of good cheer...

I guess technically there were two songs I didn't know by heart, so a lawyer could argue that the title is correct :-), of course I know them by heart now...

I love the new Buffett album, but in defiance of the title, I actually knew all but two of the songs by heart already :-) https://t.co/bujZ39EWqb excellent collection though, so I reckon I'll let it slide :-)
