I’ve made a page listing non-US-based alternative apps and services that I have personally tested.

Lots of helpful responses from #mastodon have helped with this list, and I will of course update it as I test out more products.

On-off tribalism

The bite sized on-off, true-false, tribal world we have fallen into, doesn’t explain why I want a latte on a Tuesday, an espresso on a Saturday, but actually prefer drinking tea in a dimly lit room.

I'm always writing stuff. Some of it makes its way out of my head. This is one of those.... It talks about why we create stuff thinking about who will read/view it...

Stop worrying and measuring. The only true measurement for your creative expression is that inward sense. That internal wonderment. The pure sense of self-worth, of creating something.

I've written the prelude to 7 articles. Which can entirely be undone by a plate of cheese and a bipolar mind 🧀😂

Second, threads posted by me and a few members of the Threads team will be available on other fediverse platforms like Mastodon starting this week. This test is a small but meaningful step towards making Threads interoperable with other apps using ActivityPub – we’re committed to doing this so that people can find community and engage with the content most relevant to them, no matter what app they use.
