I'm moving to @andras3p as a part of consolidating different alts.

I haven't used this account in a while but it was my first home on Fedi, so I'm very grateful to @stux for running this place and wish them and everyone here all the best going forward.

The first EP of my friends' band just released:

https://open.spotify.com/album/6mDptyr7UEvML2PxMNv3yw

They're described as post-punk and synth-pop, and they sing in Hungarian, but I do think they have a wider appeal. Give them a listen if you're into this kind of thing.

"So far, tech journalists have approached Mastodon like it’s another startup. By trying to force Mastodon into their usual narratives, they’re missing that what’s really innovative about Mastodon isn’t its technology — it’s the platform’s values."

Excellent article by @worldhistory

Haven't used Twitter much (two stints some years ago), so this is not a migration for me. Generally skeptical about the current general 'social network' concept, but that may only be because how to corporate ones poisoned it.

Mastodon and the Fediverse show promise, so I'm engaging with renewed optimism---we'll see how it goes.
