Hello everyone in the #fediverse!
A quick #introduction...
My name is Adam Cook and my primary interests include #Robotics, #Manufacturing, #Simulation and #SystemsSafety.
I am also very passionate about #Engineering and #Manufacturing #Education - as such, I am working on a personal project called ManufacturingOpen which I hope to reveal soon.
I recently moved from #Dallas to #Detroit after 4 years - mostly to go #CarFree once again.
Lastly, I am a #CatDad to Tiggy and Benny, as pictured!
Started: Nov. 9, 220 lbs.
Today: 204 lbs.
It appears to be working 🙂

Still a long way to go.

You take a step toward him. He takes a step back.

So how do you add anything to a Friendica Group like @fediversenews?
It's simple! You just give the group a mention, and your post gets reshared there!
(Caveat: as long as you're federated.)
"Facebook-like" Groups on Friendica (they're officially called Forums) are also why I'm so stubborn about referring to this social netowrk as the Fediverse.
Why?
Because Mastodon can't do "Facebook-like" Groups.
If you want to use this feature, you have to use a service like Friendica -- which is *drastically* different from Mastodon.
Nevertheless, you can follow these "Facebook-like" Groups on Mastodon -- because Mastodon is part of the Fediverse.
Many of you are going to ask me how to start a "Facebook-like" Group on Friendica.
That's a fair question!
I will go in depth either tonight or tomorrow.
For now, you might as well just know that it exists -- and it works.
I've been trying to stay off of #Facebook, since I hate them and their bloody algorithms, especially the content moderation #gestapobots, but I have to admit, I miss seeing what my family and friends are up to. I'm starting to worry that this #Mastodon / #Fediverse experiment is going to fail, but if it does, maybe I'll just swear off #SocialMedia altogether. If I really need to rot my brain, I'll do it the old-fashioned way, with #drugs and #alcohol, as @godpod intended.
Boost/Follow? 🥺
