NO TLDR. Probably should have been a diary entry. LOL.

I've been cleaning up my digital life in bits and pieces as well as re-learning to spend less time on the PC and/or being more intentional with HOW I spend time while on the PC.

Removing reoccurring digital distractions will take some time, but simple things like eating meals without digital distractions (other than cozy idle YouTube videos with calming music) has been great for my mental health, mental clarity and productivity. Even the small wins with reoccurring digital are making a difference.

Loving the new direction of my daily regimen. 1-2 hours less on the PC per day is a win in my book. It creates such a calming effect for me and I feel like my anxiety is reduced. Plus, even though I haven't been able to join her due to sprained ankle, my dog is on a better for both of us when my ankle heals schedule. More movement for me since before my injury nearly two weeks ago.

Another digital win was cleaning up decades of Facebook groups. Went from over 200 to under 30.

Also being more intentional with Twitch viewing, chatting and subscriptions.

Touch grass folks. Thanks for coming to my MastoTalk.

It may take some time, perhaps ages but someone somewhere will discover the needed answer to your questions.

So, in the meantime, I beg you to :

Do not give in to despair.
Do not harm yourself.
Do not harm those around you.
Don't go and kill yourself.

Go out of your comfort zone and try to talk about it, at least try to explain how it is for you and how you feel about it.

Think before acting...

Yet another self-talk of mine.

La seule chose à laquelle je m'engage en ce moment, c'est à m'améliorer.

Devenir une meilleure version de celui que j’étais hier, travailler un peu plus à réduire l’influence qu’ont mes imperfections et faiblesses sur la façon dont je vis ma vie.

@tobi Super, da ich morgen mal näher untersuche, ob der leckere Tee was mit meiner Schlaflosigkeit zu tun haben könnte, bin ich morgen wieder am Start. ;)

You guys have no idea how satisfying it is to see this new team of admins in action.
Open question to @gargon and/or #Mastodev and #Mastotalk: As the #Fediverse grows approaching 3/4th of a million of us, and individual instances grow to over 100,000 or more, shouldn't we be building in some redundancy to the overall system? Some automatic way that all that data isn't lost if one or more instance goes away for whatever reason....
Continuing my thought/question to #Mastodev and #Mastotalk folks on redundancy in the Fediverse: If instances are hacked, or just fail, or owners just quit, tens to thousands of thousands of users on each instance Mastodon identities and social history are at risk, no? Is there - or shouldn't there be - some way that user info is not all on one single point of failure on each instance alone?

1. It means a new tool to communicate and share ideas with people around the world;
2. I think Mastodon should be a contrasting social network, avoiding fan clubs(the reason I believe TW is down now) dedicated principally to share ideas;
3. I never spoke about it yet, just want to see how far I go without it. I only know one person from other social networkings here.

Yesterday Gargron helped me get his take on the project, so that I can write a mission statement. But, I would also love to hear your take, so I can combine the two into our collective statement.

This is me trying to be more transparent with the process.

Feel free to help me answer these questions:
1. What does Mastodon mean to you?
2. Where do you want to see the project go?
3. How do you talk about Mastodon with your friends?
