Time to 'fork off' 🙋‍♂️

2024: ‘We DO NOT use any of your content to TRAIN GENERATIVE AI, and have NO INTENTION of doing so.’

2025: “If I decided tomorrow to change things in a way that people didn’t really like, then they could FORK OFF and go on to other applications.”

2026: Bluesky users are WRONG about their resentment over AI and should instead embrace it.

Maybe it's time to fork off... to Mastodon.

For folks who want to give Mastodon a try... 🙋‍♂️

Just join a server. We call them instances. Here are few great choices:

Vivaldi: https://social.vivaldi.net/about Yes, Vivaldi the browser, but you don't need the browser.

mstdn.social: https://mstdn.social/auth/sign_up A really great choice! EU based and run by @stux. Cats!

inforsec.exchange: https://infosec.exchange/auth/sign_up If you like to follow tech. Run by @jerry

Or just go to https://joinmastodon.org and pick one. It is hard to go wrong.

Vivaldi Social is part of the Mastodon network and is hosted in Iceland by the makers of Vivaldi Browser. Everyone is welcome to join.

So, you made an account. What do you do now? 🤔

Mastodon does not pick what information you see in your Home feed. You need to follow other users. Don't worry it is simple.

Think of what you are interested in and search for it using a hashtag. For instance just click on:

...or type any hashtag term into the search box

When you see a good post, just follow that account. It's that simple. You can also follow hashtags.

You can also click Trending...🙋‍♂️

@mastodonmigration if you want a peaceful feed. Just go full hog on #Blender3d.
