Hmm, this is something people do as part of their daily activity and it’s stuff being published. I know! Let’s call it ActivityPub.
All snark aside, it’s not the API that’s the problem, it’s the willingness and exposure.

I’ve been on Mastodon for 18 months and I like it. People are generally polite, and although there is plenty of US politics if you want it, there’s lots of other stuff I enjoy. It reminds me, strongly, of the feel of USENET (look it up, youngsters) back in the 90s.
My server is moderated by a guy from the next county over. He posts the server costs, and many of us kick in. He does the moderation and admin to benefit the community. There are no ads and no algorithmic nonsense with the feed.
If you decide to try Mastodon, I would suggest you join a server that’s locally based. There are topic-centric servers, but really, once you’re on one server you can reach people at other servers pretty easily.

I might be guilty of liking Twitter for sharing news items that can be summed up succinctly in a tweet from the credible journalists who still deign to wallow in that shithole. I might also be guilty of enjoying watching the slide of the richest man in the world (according to Forbes) down to Net Zero.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sort of doubles as posturing for his fanboys.

Tschüss? “Auf wiedersehen” suggests a next time.
Did we do Maltese? “Toħroġ”
Besser!

“increasingly frustrated” with having to comply
is all you have to know. It’s always ever only about the rules that are meant to bind them and to facilitate self-aggrandizement and exploitation. When the rules state you can’t park your car across the sidewalk, you shouldn’t punch people in the supermarket or drop toxic waste in the environment, then all of a sudden terms like freedom of expression, liberty, god given rights are claimed but only to further the selfish goals, never to benefit the collective or, God forbid!, any soul on Earth but ME! ME! ME!. I can sort-of understand why psychopaths kill people, it’s a consequence of a twisted, disemboweled logic; as to why people let psychopaths do that, that’s far more of a mystery to me.

May I suggest a friendly “geh kacken Alter du bist Scheiße”?

Suggest away. It’s all Greek to me*. But if “Scheiße” means what I think it means, I suspect you are hitting the right note of friendliness.
*Sorry

Leb’ wohl comes close, and is used in many movie dubbings. It just adds a note of irony when a killer says it before pulling the trigger.
I would use the Bavarian Adé, also the northern German Tschüss has spread far enough that it’s basically the most common goodbye even here in Munich.
Pfiat di!

I mean, clearly yes, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one.
I’ll see you and raise you:

It’s what I was taught at school in the UK.

I think I watched that every Saturday(?) when I was 4. I think my parents went to a taping; they would’ve been no older than 30 at the time.
Same, but in TX. But the tone in which we were taught to say it, come to think of it, might make it too cheerful. (In both high school and college they were really emphatic about this, though perhaps it tees it up better as sarcasm.) Perhaps a more direct/final “geh weg!” oder “fick dich!” is more suitable.
