Today is my 1 month anniversary of signing up for Mastodon. A few observations—after spending 13+ years on Twitter:
•The Mastodon community is kinder & more focused on lifting one another up than tearing down.
•Mastodon is learning from Twitter's mistakes by including accessibility options, incorporating an edit button, & not centralizing everything
•Engagement is not dependent on clickbait or outrage, but genuine positive content.
None of the above are absolutes, but overall, glad I'm here.
Seeing the #IDW totally fracture has been sad. They were my hope that intellectuals all over the political spectrum could voice disagreements and find resolution instead of fight....and here we are 🫠
@LanguidSquid we will play chess later!
I finally got to use Camel again for a project. Very happy lol
I need to start back playing chess in person

Ultimately Mastodon's killer feature is that it's a public good that someone built because they thought it needed to exist and not a startup someone built because they wanted to get rich quick selling other people's data.

doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result is the definition of mutable state
This week, I will start a workout routine.
I can't wait to have my Serval and join #catsofmastdon
I'm happy for you @Gargron on all the new growth!
Will go home next year
This was my first time not going home for Thanksgiving. Didn't like it
@lee good to see you back!
I love seeing more people talk about Mastodon on twitter
The new Samsung Fold 4 has been amazing. Along with my Samusung Ultra tablet.
I definitely need to play chess more. sheeeesh
@merrickdeville i dont think twitter is done but yes you should use open source and a platform that doesnt use your data to make money lol
I could get mastodon and poeertube to work easily. But via docker, I cannot get pixelfed@mastodon.social to work
Life has been good
The recent drama with Ye and Kyrie Irving have caused much needed conversations in the black community.
