GeekMomProjectsJust suspended my birdsite account. I'll miss it at some point, but currently only feel relief to have directed my online life away from an increasingly toxic and unstable environment. Happy this place is here! 🐘
joey castillo@geekmomprojects I’ll likely be following your lead tomorrow. Melancholy about it (and a bit fearful about how I’m going to share OSO with the wider community going forward), but I’m relieved that a lot of folks made the leap. We’re going to paint this place blinky :)

I am EXCITED to see several of my favorite Electronics Makers here in the Fediverse!!

Hoping that I can find some time to join you all in creating BLINKY things!! * * *
( especially curious about Joey's Open Book e-reader DIY(?) project!! :- )
@SaguaroLynx @joeycastillo thank you! I don't know much, but I feel pretty certain that there will be blinky things in the future of my feed.
@joeycastillo I thought I'd hold out longer but the changes (or threatened changes) felt increasingly toxic. I felt a constant need to evaluate the point of my presence there. Leaving removed that stressor. I hope that your decision works for you too. I do think that "Maker Mastodon" will be an excellent place to hang out, blinky lights, oddly specific objects and all!

@geekmomprojects dragons, don’t forget the dragons and werewolves are starting to show up too. 🥰
kaybeeque 🍁💪💪🍁@TreasureDev @geekmomprojects wait. Are you saying PaintYourDragon is around here somewhere? Dragons and werewolves make that connection for me 😄
@kaybee335 @geekmomprojects not yet I don’t think so. maybe if we tell him there’s an entire community of werewolves and dragons here he’ll join. yes I was specifically talking about him. 😆 we need his dragon and lycan updates.
@TreasureDev @geekmomprojects I was pretty sure who you meant 😄
They're one of my 'anchor' accounts over there. Pretty much the only reason I fire up that app anymore is to see if there's an announcement there that somehow I've missed here 😄
Andrew Crawford@joeycastillo @geekmomprojects the more people that migrate the more I’m realizing mastodon is an acceptable replacement. Friends and interests network are rebuilding themselves naturally like synapses. It’s pretty cool to watch unfold as more people join. I don’t have a commercial enterprise though. Any idea how much reach algorithms will affect you guys yet?
