Mastodawn

One thing I’m really appreciating about Mastodon is that it doesn’t make me anxious. Since there’s no algorithm that penalises me if I don’t post for two consecutive days, I feel much more relaxed and enjoy the experience more. It’s nice to be able to enjoy social media 😄

“All that you touch, you change.
All that you change changes you.”

Octavia Butler names the reciprocity we all live inside of — ecological, emotional, relational.
A reminder that transformation isn’t something we do to the world; we change with it.

Permission to pause.

Permission to pause.

From an intentional social media break to a forced disconnect in nature, there's magic in the pause.

Still getting the hang of this place, but I’m really liking the slower, more intentional vibe.
No pressure, no noise just people, ideas, and the occasional post that makes you stop and think.
If you’ve been here a while, what’s made you stick around? And if you’re new like me, how’s it going so far?

To be honest, aside from helping me learn Python, the main thing that I want AI to do for me personally is to browse the web for me.

A lot of the dysfunctional aspects of my online habits come from compulsively checking to see if I’m missing out on something. I want to be able to essentially ignore the internet, and then sit down for a weekly (maybe even monthly) session and have my web crawler agent just show me the highlights.

I would pay a subscription fee, happily.

Per ora la lentezza di #mastodon la trovo un valore aggiunto. Imparare di nuovo la calma e la lentezza. Una specie di #slowsocial #RIPtwitter

Mastodon lets you follow people and only see their original toots. It’s a good option if your home timeline gets filled with one person’s boosts. Open their profile, click on the ⋮ button, and click “Hide boosts from user.” (It only hides future boosts, not historical ones.) Use it with care, as you might miss some good stuff. #intothefediverse #slowsocial #feditips

I'm sorry if I am slow in posting content here. Moving over from there is not just a chance to create more meaningful connections - its also a chance to reconfigure my use of media such like this. This #migrating and #evaluating is my chance to try out more #slowSocial.

Inspired by such movements as #SlowFood, #SlowScience, & #SlowResearch, we finally have a call for #SlowSocial: https://medium.com/womentorship/slow-social-the-call-for-a-mindful-digital-revolution-d9b50960eca2. If more people adopt this, we could put a dent in #InformationPollution.
