Does a migration path exist from GNU Social to Mastodon? Or would someone wanting to switch be stuck with having to wipe and start over?
(Yay! It works! I can toot blog posts now...)
On the future of this blog and many other blogs and websites like it https://www.rantroulette.com/2017/07/on-the-future-of-this-blog-and-many-other-blogs-and-websites-like-it/
Each time I opened the birdsite app I would see at least one user complaining about some broken feature or a new one that was terrible.
Each time I open the Mastodon app I see at least one user mentioning an improvement they made to the app, or thanking someone for making the app (or perhaps just their instance) better.
We are doing things right here.
Octofriends, this is a long shot, but I need some paying #work. I'm good at Marketing communications, editing and revision, copywriting, and all that other writerly stuff.
I'm genuinely pretty talented and I am sick of being walked on by the Vancouver job market.
Can anyone help? I have a website at http://Unwordly.ca
np: The Bus Boys - Cleanin' Up the Town
from the (1980s) Ghostbusters soundtrack album. The very next song after that Revolution Void tune in my play list. No, I'm not making this up.
np: Revolution Void - Viva la Revolucion

There are people freaking out about unknown artists showing up on Spotify's playlist picks calling them "fake" lol
These people never heard of independent producers before

Then she picked up his hat
And realized that
She'd been had by Smokey the Bear.

The good news is, my non-lawyer self is slowly but surely learning how to use PACER. The bad news is it's kind of obvious now just how limiting the $15 waived each quarter can be as I went through $5.20 just looking up info on one case (finishing previously unfinished research, at the time I think the case was still pending and it has now been settled).
random thought - does mastodon work with screen readers? Wondering if we have anyone using it on the platform
cause all this react crap might be an issue?
Yes, sometimes I go back and read old toots when bored. Often it's to try to find context to a more recent toot at first, and then I just go falling down the rabbit hole.
Also finally resolved in my own head that mastodon isn't about avoiding politics. CWs aren't about avoiding politics.
Taking care with content is about managing risk to others so that the effort to repair a damaged world doesn't deteriorate into panic, aggression or despair.
CWs seem like a small good step towards respecting that the state of global politics affects us deeply. It's not a sideshow.
