Now retired, I was a software engineer specializing in compilers, Fortran in particular. I've been into computers since 1970 (well, really since 1964) and in the industry since 1978. Other than that, I run a web site for a no-kill cat shelter as well a web store, and two Fortran programming language standards sites - you can find links on my website. He/him

It's been a real busy day and I think most of you on mstdn.social has noticed we are almost an hour behind on the timelines..  

Past night around 11K new people joined mstdn.social via invite links and this was a little too much to handle  

So instead of running in circles, I have setup another public #Mastodon instance with the same rules as on mstdn.

To lighten the load on mstdn, perhaps some would care to migrate to the new instance?

I just ran across Debirdify (https://pruvisto.org/debirdify/), which looks to see which of your birdplace follows or followers have Mastodon accounts that mentioned Mastodon in their bios. It found a couple I hadn't yet seen. #TwitterMigration #MastodonTips

This is a web app that helps you find out which of the people you follow on Twitter are on Mastodon/in the Fediverse already and follow all of them easily.

Elon just locked my Twitter acct. I guess not ALL the content moderators were let go? Lol.

I am wreaking a little havoc on Twitter right now. I’m feeling quite smug.

HEADS-UP for in-person voters! If you’re voting in-person today is a good day to review the questions, measures & amends that may be on your ballot. When voters are reading lengthy ballot measures for the first time in the voting booth, it contributes to long lines. State ballot measures cover things like legalizing weed, campaign finance, term limits, policing.
Read & digest the ballot measures (& explanations) in advance on Ballotpedia at this link:

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?

Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.

Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!

Hi everyone. I'm a retired software (OS/compiler) developer - most of my career involved Fortran. In retirement I continued with the Fortran standards committee and have a Fortran blog on my web site.

My wife and I love to travel, and we've done a lot more since retirement - photos and travelogues at https://stevelionel.com

I also run the web site for a no-kill cat shelter, am on my city's zoning board and work elections. #Introduction
