“I left Mastodon 27 days ago”

https://medium.com/@cassolotl/i-left-mastodon-27-days-ago-ae34919290e1

A follow-up to the post I wrote when I first left Mastodon, to see what’s changed since and what hasn’t.

Does anyone know if there's already an existing "mastodon tips" profile in english out there?

I'm usually posting tips with hashtags in portuguese using @status, and I know @cassolotl used to do the same in their profile, but I wonder if there's a profile I could direct people to in other languages 🤔

Reclaiming RSS

“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”

There are people that I truly admire.
Somehow I'm attracted -- by their humanity, intelligence, or style.

Even a teenage void doesn't escape the woes of that thing humans call emotions, like being happy, sad, in love or angry.

Having this is mind. I'd like to do my coming out here.

I'm queer and I'm angry. Deal with it! 😡

one person: what’s that

@eloisa

I texted of my love.
The phone sent off "live".
Maybe a message from above?
My lover's been depressed.

@eloisa maybe it'll be a new genre: autocorrect poetry! 😁

Hello #mastodon, what accounts do you recommend me to follow regarding #Science or #art? Thanks in advance!

I was talking to a friend who was thinking about the internet we want to have, decentralized, less silos, a bit like the nineties where it was possible to have static pages, host email, write your own CGI scripts, and it was all step by step easy and possible if that was what you wanted. And we got talking about the kind of things we need to today to get this back. Do you have reading suggestions? Blogs to read? Projects? People to follow?

Please understand that many members of the Fediverse resist connecting to Twitter and Facebook because those networks are trying to become the next Fox News, but more Orwellian, and that we left them in the interest of self-protection and mental health.

Since you can think you can see a glowing date over peoples head s. You were young when you discovered that it's the date of the person's death. You are on vacation in London and as soon as stepping out the plane you suddenly see the date of tomorrow over every single head.
