I've decided to pull my mastodon instance out of moth balls. Still setting it up, but I will shortly be moving to exile.social.

You're welcome to join me there if you're looking for a home. I'll post again before I jump and the site is up.

While Mastodon is currently awash in new guides, advice, etc. I thought I'd go ahead and repost my very concise guide for new exiles from Twitter, which I posted the last time we had a Muskening event.

Using a text client to consume the majority of my fediverse content finally cured me of the doom scroll that I'd been doing for a decade+, but that really picked up during pandemic/lockdown.

That being said, if you're posting images or video without a text descriptor, I'm not bothering to load them up to see what they were. If someone provides a description & it sounds interesting, then I'll click through about 50% of the time.

I don't have a disability that requires this, but it has helped tame my consumption. If you care about the few of us consuming things in this way and/or those w/disablities that rely on the descriptions, you may want to include one.

If you don't, no worries, but I'm not seeing what you're laying down.

Just for the record, I didn't need anyone to tell me not to put Nyquil in my chicken.
