I lay down in my gown upon my bed and slept till the 4 o’clock gun the next morning waked me, which I took for 8 at night, and rising to piss mistook the sun rising for the sun setting on Sunday night.
First time outside the entire day. Fresh air is good. Very happy that it's still light at 7:30PM. #EverythingIsBetterWithTacos

Thanks to a lazy press, too many people think Mastodon IS the Fediverse. It's just one microblogging software program running on independently owned servers that all support The ActivityPub Protocol.

TAPP is the tech allowing message federation between about 8 software programs that support it (including Mastodon). If you're using any of those programs, you're surfing the Fediverse via the TAPP network You're tapped-in.

TAPP may soon compete with BlueSky & other protocols.
