Nice to see a sliver of sustainable transportation at this otherwise very much petrol powered #COP27

My original job in the #gameindustry was as a #conceptartist and #mattepainter focusing on #environmentdesign . I used my buddy's drone photos of #Taipei as a base for these personal pieces; I miss having time for this kind of stuff.

Some #BlackAndWhite warm ups. #cyberpunk ladies, #tattoos, #lizards, #weird hat and #sexy nuns. A bit of the usual.

Welcome to the fediverse. Use your personal blocks and mutes appropriately. Don't block everyone who isn't of your self identified tribe. Don't create an echo chamber.

We all have value, we all need grace. Even those who don't give you value or grace need them both.

Okay this might be a long post

One thing that I realised is making #twittermigration harder for people to switch is because the whole concept can feel daunting & overwhelming for non-tech savvy people.

With Twitter to them it was straight forward and easy to find topics they enjoy but with mastodon its a bit different.
So if you're new to mastodon or you want to introduce someone to mastodon here are some tips, useful sites & tools:
### Tips:
- Choosing a home instance isn't as importance as it seems, don't overthink it. Yes moderation rules & policies may differ but they all have one thing in common: Be a decent human. You **always** have the option to migrate your account to a new instance.
- Toots (or posts if you think toots are cringe ) are what we call micro-blogging instead of tweets
- You’re supposed to "boost" AKA "reblog" toots that you like.Since Mastodon does not have an algorithm that surfaces toots that have been liked a lot, boosting is the best way to help spread stuff that you like, and to show appreciation. (credit to @orsvarn for this comment)
- Another way to fill your timeline with content you enjoy is to: Find other people with similar interests, follow them, favourite their posts, boost their posts, use hashtags. rinse, repeat. (credit to @garry)
- If you ever feel yourself getting sucked into arguments on the #Fediverse, you might want to take advantage of the instance mute/block feature!
Instances tend to foster a culture, so if you find people from a specific site tend to be bothering you, muting/blocking that instance will keep other members of that community from bothering you as well.
- Finally do not share private/sensitive information via DMs on Mastodon. Direct Messages are not E2E. **Keep it in mind**

### Useful tools & resources:
[Twitodon](https://twitodon.com/) - Find your Twitter friends on Mastodon
[FediFinder](https://fedifinder.glitch.me/)- Similar to Twitodon
[Fedi Tips](https://fedi.tips/) - an informal, unofficial guide for non-technical people who want to use Mastodon and the wider Fediverse
[Fedi Directory](https://fedi.directory) - A human-curated small selection of accounts to spice up your timeline.
[Trunk](https://communitywiki.org/trunk) -Trunk allows you to mass-follow a bunch of people in order to get started with Mastodon or any other platform on the Fediverse
[Fediverse.info](https://fediverse.info/explore/people) -growing list of people and topics can help you discover mutual interests with people around the world
**Mobile Apps:**
[Metatext for iOS ](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/metatext/id1523996615)
[Tusky for Android ](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keylesspalace.tusky&hl=en&gl=USt)

Lastly if you are interested in setting up your own instance you can learn via https://learnfoss.org/ its completely free and its made by the wonderful @stux

I apologize for the long post lol, just hope this helps anyones transition over

#solarpunk tip of the day:

Many solar panel vendors end up with a number of panels that get cracked in shipping.

They can't sell them commercially but the panels still work, so sometimes they'll sell them for fractions of their cost! I've seen £350 panels sold for £35!

Get some optically clear epoxy to reseal the panels and they're a great choice for your inexpensive, DIY solar system!

Part of what inspires my work is a deep connection with the wonders of nature and this amazing world we live on.

Working with the earth, literally, through clay, deepens my connection, wonder and peace with this interconnectedness.

We are one with the Earth, so let's take good care of it, and each other.
