Is @ musician.social #InstanceDown for anyone else, too?
Getting 404 for the past few hours
Heads-up I've pretty much abandoned this account
Find me instead over on mastodon.art under the same name
I'll migrate this account when I figure out exactly how to do that 🙃
You know what? I'm going to start a server with the name of my old MUD when I get off the road, just in case someone comes a-lookin
Stay tuned!
So all this has me thinking... any servers for former #MUD users?
There's some people I would dearly love to catch up with. One of whom was my first Java mentor, and I never learned their real name!
I haven't been this excited to have a server running in my house since web 1.0
Now I have to remember how to do a dmz safely
I wonder if I can get mastodon running on an Arduino :-)
I finally figured out that I don't remember faces, but I do remember feelings associated with them
Still trying to figure out how that's useful beyond, "this person is safe / unsafe"
reasons mastodon's "viral dampening effect" is a good thing:
👉🏻 no "main character of the day"
👉🏻 no free text searching for people to get angry at (and harrass)
👉🏻 doomscrolling is *actually bad for you* and not a thing we should be trying to replicate
👉🏻 birdsite's virality is heavily driven by actual paid advertising and bots. You think that "Explore" tab gets its content organically? really? That's not making connections between people, it's about driving sales.
Mastodon is not, and should not be, a 1:1 replacement for Twitter. But it *can* be a new place for you to make valuable connections with other human beings. #twitter #twittermigration
House buying on closing day is like,
THIS IS NOT EVEN MY FINAL FORM!
ahahahaha
So... Watched news with my dad for ONE night, and woke up this morning from a dream of being deadnamed, mis-gendered, and doxxed to the IRS
So, how'd you sleep?
