Hello! Just an update to let you know I've decided to move over to a smaller and more hyperlocal server; bne.social.

You can find me over at @SusannahBirch

I'll be redirecting this account once I'm all set up over there.

So far today I've managed to make the Robovac stop working, wash paper in the washing machine, accidentally disconnect the modem, and spam a group SMS chat with the same message 14 times. Tech is obviously not my friend today.

No one let me near Twitter.

This is another perspective on Twitter's toxic culture from a Twitter friend who has chosen not to make the move to Mastodon, but instead leave the Social Media sphere.

"As I watch Twitter collapse and so many people there mourn its loss, I am stunned at how many can’t or won’t acknowledge the massive amounts of abuse that are perpetrated and condoned on that platform, and how Twitter, even before Musk, refused to act on most of it."

Do you have a search box and a publish Toot field on PC?

If yours is missing, your screen area may be too narrow, due to a Mastodon coding issue.

Finally got around to adding Aus.Social as an exception on Avast. It's nice not to have continuous popups.

(Yes, it took me a week of being annoyed to bother doing it.)

This is your reminder that it's only illegal to catfish people in one Australian state, and only if they're minors.

And that's despite multiple high profile catfish cases where people have been abused or died.
