Moving to @waterbear

pronounsshe/her

As cybre.space is shutting down and will be going read-only next month, I've moved over to @waterbear and will be using that going forward.

I hope that if you've followed me here you'll do so there as well!

@HeNeArXn Hiding the local timeline (of public posts) I sort of understand the appeal of ... but if they are public posts anyhow, could someone not just retrieve these by standing up their own instance and scraping the federated timeline only for posts from a specific instance? It seems trivial to do for any with malicious intent, which sort of defeats the reasons I'd want to hide the local timeline in the first place.

@HeNeArXn That has been my approach and one of my big challenges also :(

It seems like many of the instances I find interesting folks on are closed (invite-only) and do not make their local timelines available. It's a challenge for someone getting started trying to engage on here!

@mcfly I'd love to attend in person but will enjoy what I can remotely because I can't afford the in-person trip (from the USA) at this time.

Outside of travel costs, I am only just beginning to feel comfortable attending in-person events even where masking is required. But I don't know when I will really be fully comfortable again for that.

@HeNeArXn That sounds in line with my expectations; glad (and yet a bit disappointed) to hear it isn't just me.

Every once in a while I try to view the federated timeline to discover new people to follow. Every time I'm reminded why it hasn't worked yet -- it's so noisy!

Does anyone actually view the federated timeline? Do you just mute everything for a while to cut down the noise until it becomes manageable? Or do you just... watch your local instance and folks you already follow, hoping they interact with more interesting people?

I am bad at fedi. Please help.

@pawlowa I don’t have any resources for this but am also a parent. My partner and I just let our kid do whatever he wants wrt presentation, play along when he wants to be a character from a show or book - whatever that might look like.

On the younger end of things we have some story books we (and our kid) like; I really like “Not Quite Narwhal” about a unicorn who’s a bit different :)
I love yarn and I love vector graphics. This music video is just 🤌
