It made sense in January, and it makes even more sense now: do not rely on meta's platforms:

Might be preaching to the choir here on Mastodon.

This is why I moved my articles and blogging to ghost, and not substack:

Want help shifting from substack to ghost? Let me know.

I chose a new home for my blogging and articles:

I'm migrating my articles and blogging, and you can kind of follow my process.

I just posted this, which includes this line: "Building your goals in someone else’s sandbox alone is not ideal, a little like building a castle on sand."

Today, I switched to Proton mail and calendar, and Organic Maps. I've been postponing it, because it seemed like such a hassle after having had my Gmail since I was 13. Learning to navigate Mastodon was enough new info.

But! It was incredibly easy. Imported my calendar, forwarded my emails. Done.

As for maps, it turns out OpenStreetMaps has much better overview of the path system in the forest I'm headed to. And also bus stops. I'm pleasantly surprised and grateful. 🐛

It’s been a month since I began my transition from big tech systems – marked by this banner on my Facebook account: “I’m more and more elsewhere…”

Now building on Mastodon, Threema, Pixelfed etc. See my new blog & initiative for context: https://techtonicshift.vivaldi.net

Any advice for me and my fellow followers from Facebook on how to effectively rebuild initial networks here (or across the Fediverse) is very welcome!
