Find an instance that suits you - it doesn't need to be one of the massive servers; a more specialist one may have a local timeline & moderation policies that suit you much better!

Snack lunch of thin-sliced grilled pork with a dip of Philippine spiced vinegar from the local Asian supermarket, with a nice dense seeded rye bread I got in a TooGoodToGo bag from St John Bakery. It’s good to live in London :-)
(Apparently people are still using “kek”? Seems a bit 2015 to me, insofar as I care)

pone.social - brownies who announce themselves as “horsefucker degenerates”. Just had one pop up in my replies with a cheery “kek” and something about open federation

#FediBlock

Ah, fuck - weirder.earth has mastodon.scot suspended. For a decent reason - no one wants to be federating with cops - but I know and like a bunch of people on there :-(
