Hi! As I understand it, mastodon.art is limiting mastodon.social. I don't want to discuss whether this should/should not have happened (no idea, haven't researched), but it does cause me a problem:

I'm really interested in art & hoped joining a bigger instance would expose me to more art & other interesting things. Looks like it won't have that effect.

So, I'm going to re-follow people from other instances of me (also called ginevra) & then close this account.

@alisoncroggon I am also thinking of moving, mainly so that my local is filled with things that interest me. I thought a generic server was good, but since I've learnt about defederation, maybe being closer to/more explicit about what I'm interested in (art, boardgames)is a better idea???

I must say, that even in the last few days since I joined Mastodon I’ve seen a culture shift - more #politics, more ‘hot takes’, less discussion, fewer #CWs, less #AltText. I hope it’s a blip and urge newbies like me not to unwittingly play out the #coloniser #stereotypes and ride roughshod over the existing culture. It’s a lovely, gentle, curious #community here, would be awful to ruin it because we’re conditioned to something worse.

@austinkocher @Gargron @Mastodon Ability to translate & ability to follow hashtags will be amazing!!

@feditips @ricardoramos I primarily joined an 8k server. They are having to do upgrades several times throughout the day yesterday. Are you sure the bigger instances aren't better placed to cope with the influx?

The parts of my life that were lived offline, pre-social media or pre-internet:
- exchange student in Tokyo
- parenting
- #gardening & food forests
- garment #sewing
- technology law (Australia)
- foreign languages
- #RPG s, #LARP s (we called them freeforms)
- #puppetry

Still interested in the things I have not hashtagged, but I have learnt to be strategic & sceptical on those topics.
