I started using Flare on my phone via https://flareapp.moe/ & it looks better than Openvibe. You can add multiple accounts & it supports Sharkey & Misskey natively. No Nostr though, which Openvibe has. Wish there was one app with it all. Twitter’s dead to me now.

Throwing this out there for the Indiewebbers...

A little reminder that I've still got an “Indieweb is Punk” t-shirt available on Cotton Bureau that supports the EFF.

2nd round of rain today 🌧️. Hopefully this will help with the drought & dry season. This storm has way more lightning ⚡ and thunder compared to the earlier rain around 3 p.m., which was more like a light summer shower. The weather really fits my mood right now 🌩️. #RainyDay #StormyWeather
