Finished my taxes finally! Never fun but at least I’m not paying intuit or TurboTax so I feel good! It’s all about small wins!

My current way to interest people to join us: The Fediverse is more like local politics, with small communities discussing things. Centralised networks like Twitter, TikTok, instagram etc are more like national politics, with loud mouthpieces shouting over everyone else.
This mental image helps me in understanding why the influencers fail here and they of course think that means that the fediverse must be a lost cause while we commoners happily chug along and enjoy our little street parties ;)

Iran war energy crisis is a renewable energy wake-up call
The Iran war is exposing how much the global economy still depends on fragile fossil fuel supplies. The conflict has virtually choked off the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane for a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas. That's shaking up markets and pushing prices higher. Countries reliant on imported fossil fuels — from wealthy industrial economies to poorer developing nations — are facing major disruptions that can quickly ripple through utility bills, food prices, transport costs and electrical grids. Analysts say the crisis is a stark reminder that energy security is not just about stockpiles and shipping, but also about the lagging transition to renewable energy.

As a man we have to be the ones to help create this world with every action we take. Call out your homies and hold them responsible.
I wasn’t sure FLAC was really that much better than MP3 but wow I was wrong! Glad to be moving away from Spotify and rebuild my music library again!

This #Plushtodon, a recent immigrant to Canada, is checking out our Mastodon feed. How did they get my password?
They are excitedly looking for updates on how our community is convincing politicians to dump U.S. based social media and join the #Fediverse. It's almost like they have a vested interest in your activities and efforts. Hmm....

I love going to Aldi and finding things that are not American to buy 😊 bought a new BBQ sauce and happy to see it’s #Australian
everton137After about twelve hours, the same post had received more than 300 shares and likes on Mastodon, while it had only been shared three times and liked four times on BlueSky.
I'm no social media expert, but it's amazing how reluctant people are to use Mastodon because of its lack of reach and interaction.
If we bring more people here, the Fediverse could become the de facto public square.
