I remember building a Geocities page. Talking to people on ICQ. Forums and other great things.

Then everything went bland and no one hears me.

This is my new Mastodon server. Yeah, another moment, another time, I reset my VPS and then reinstalled this instance again. I enjoyed discovering how to configure my VPS very perfectly without flaws, without results that are due to low-quality decisions, mistakes, and unorganized or unplanned choices.

But, my presence in the Fediverse isn't new. It has been traced back to around the 2020s (I can't remember the exact date) when, at that time, Vivaldi Browser offered me the opportunity to create a new browser sync personal account, and I also started using their Mastodon instance called "Vivaldi Social."

In Malaysia, there were many news mentions of the Fediverse and Mastodon because, at that time, Elon Musk was buying a platform called Twitter before he rebranded it as X, which caused people online to be upset that their favorite platform could be easily bought by a so-called billionaire.

Wonderful tec geeks. I have had an anti trump presence since 2015. Posting memes and numerous articles by ethical investigative reports, historians and mental health care workers. I fear Musk and the narcissistic hatred of Trump. Is there anyway to delete my post of fb or is it too late?

Note that this is *not* the same as examining a suspect's past #onlinehistory or #socialmedia interactions. Those go to establishing intent, and are #reactive rather than #preventive.

The #pressconference occurring at this moment w/the mayor of #ClubQ's city has explained the #redflag law regarding the prior withdrawn #911 complaint from the suspect's mother exactly as I described it. It doesn't exist, legally.

@kwerb But don't we have Usenet as the Ur-#rfediverse? Seems to me there's plenty of experience (Reddit, albeit centralized, eg) of systems made up of distinct communities with their own standards. See also: Diaspora. #onlinehistory
