Feel like I should move to a smaller instance. Nothing wrong with mastodon.social, but it's huge and is now a default server, so the local timeline is a firehose of kinda unrelated stuff. Having a slower local timeline that's related to your interests and worth browsing seems like one of the things that should make Mastodon interesting.
Bummer that you can't port all your post history when you move, though.
@michael I'm sure I'll poke my head in BlueSky at some point when it's more built out, but the hype right now seems to be that it's got the chaotic energy of old Twitter.
I'm good on chaos, I think. Full up. "People are threatening Matt Yglesias with hammers and posting their butts in the hellthread" is not adding to my life at this juncture.
Two lifting concepts I'm figuring out how to apply to the rest of my life:
1. Autoregulation: one's capabilities will vary day to day, sometimes by quite a bit. A good program has systematic ways of assessing and adjusting what you do based on this.
2. Raising the floor: over time, not only raising the ceiling of what you can do on your best days, but raising the floor of what you can do on your worst.
I read a lot of series as they are published—it's a great way to help them get finished—and I'm really happy to see more authors putting series recaps at the start of later books. My poor memory needs all the help it can get.
