I know I shouldn't answer those fake IRS calls, but I really enjoy wasting their time.
Hello?
Hello?!
Is there anybody there?
They resort to cursing rather quickly.
@skirts You can definitely export your data to make sure it doesn't get lost. Or run your own instance. But it sounds like you are looking for a plugin or website that would save your toots in a blog-like form, is that right?
Not sure if it's out there, but I bet it can be done. Toots are easily embedded. (I just tried!)

And I'm not on any great crusade here. I'm keeping #Instagram and #Twitter for now. One I use to see pics from friends and family, the other is to keep up with news.
But I don't interact with either as much, and both are at least a little less invasive.
Couldn't take the indecision anymore. What's the point in keeping my account if I never want to log onto the website? So I just deleted it.

The Admins of Mastodon can see your Direct Messages. They aren’t private.
With Mastodon, you can spin up your own instance and be your own Admin.
Ultimately, don’t use any of these tools for actual private messages. Use Signal, Matrix/Riot or another end to end encrypted messaging tool.

@starbreaker no, but we are all vodka loving Russian bots who lack his intelligence training.

I mostly go on birbsite to get angry and here to have fun. The ratio is still out of whack. Possibly because Garland's meltdown qualifies as anger and humor.
@nonphatic Excuse me, I've got a dozen .social addresses to register...

So I guess it is a new #introduction / #introductions time. I do #photography as well as other mediums of #art both traditional and electronic. Always behind work, these days more so than usual. :)

@Are0h oof, yeah. Take a look at backblaze or crash plan. Amazing how easy it is for hard drives to fail!
@Are0h always enjoy a happy ending.
(but please backup backup backup!)
@gargron Is there any visualization for trending hashtags in the fediverse? Would be useful to find if more people are using one over the other.
Photography is one that I've tried to follow but don't know if people are using photo, photos, pics, photography, etc.
