Dear all, I am making an attempt at migrating to @[email protected] and using it as my primary microblogging account. Please follow me there.

If all goes well, I will archive this account at mastodon.social.

Being on your own server is the most comforting thing these days. What can go wrong? :)

@lohang I am happy to report that the migration to Pleroma has been a success :) The new server is running really well. Many thanks to those who make #yunohost, making #selfhosting easy for the rest of the world.

#Pleroma seems to be incredibly resource efficient! It is still running on a 16 GB VPS with just 1GB of RAM.

The contact import did not go as well as I expected. Only a 1/3 of my follows were imported. I will be adding the rest of you manually over the next few days.

Even though I am more comfortable with Mastodon's four column layout, I can certainly get used to the default Pleroma frontend. I don't want to install anything that was not included in the default installation yet. Later I will give Bloat (a javascript-free front-end) a try. Most importantly, I can continue to post from the familiar mobile app Fedilab.

I don't have much respect for these fediverse puritans who insult people for using social networks they don't approve.

COVID Aware folks...

Every now and then, you've gotta stop to really acknowledge the cognitive & emotional toll of trying to navigate all this.

You're doing a really hard thing.

And you're doing great.

The Unique Challenges of Translating The Brothers Karamazov Into English

I live in a small college town in central Vermont, where during a normal academic year, the college provides ample opportunities for cultural enrichment: concerts, plays, films, lectures, and so on…
