It’s been a month since I began my transition from big tech systems – marked by this banner on my Facebook account: “I’m more and more elsewhere…”

Now building on Mastodon, Threema, Pixelfed etc. See my new blog & initiative for context: https://techtonicshift.vivaldi.net

Any advice for me and my fellow followers from Facebook on how to effectively rebuild initial networks here (or across the Fediverse) is very welcome!

I’d love your thoughts — and boosts! Maybe this can help bring together some great independent efforts.

Even though we're sitting in the garden of the more-than-a-century-old family home, it's hard for a two-and-a-half-year-old to picture that kind of life. I watch her bright, curious eyes—and at the same time, I’m typing the stories into ChatGPT. It’s already sketching them out...

If the US wants to protect its manufacturing base — fair enough. But then it's high time we in Europe protect, rebuild, and strengthen our own service economy.
