I'm back at my work desk after a nearly month-long family trip back to New Zealand (I'm UK-based these days). I must say it was nice being absent from social media during April. The daily negativity of all social media — and yes, that does include Mastodon and Bluesky — can be soul-destroying over time. I'm going to do my best to contribute positive things here on Mastodon, and boost positive things too. I'll continue to tune out X (prob Threads too). Let's be the change we want. #FediverseFTW
