Should have...

Good morning

@siina turn your hobby into work and you will burn out in no time

One thing I am thinking is that, with a network here that is <1% the size of my Twitter network, maybe I could get back to saying things that are more emotionally open, or where it makes me more vulnerable. I miss telling some of my truths.

When it came time to reckon with social media’s failings, nobody ran to the “web3” platforms. Nobody asked “can I get paid per message”? Nobody asked about the blockchain. The community of people who’ve been quietly doing this work for years (decades!) ended up being the ones who welcomed everyone over, as always.

Good morning. ​:misato_cheer:​

When I wrote this piece about the #twittermigration of #sciencetwitter last week, #Mastodon had gained 100,000 users since Musk’s purchase of Twitter.
When I updated it a few days ago, it was half a million.
Now, @Gargron just announced that there are 1 million more users.
The speed and scale of this is remarkable and I know that countless people worked hard to manage it. Thank you!

New post from @brewsterkahle: We have added a Mastodon Server https://blog.archive.org/2022/11/13/we-have-added-a-mastodon-server/

"Each year the man of the sand would rise to life. We children would go to see him and make a wish. More sweets. Better dads. If the earth beneath him growled this meant it was ready to take him home and our wish would soon come true. We had to be careful, the ground would rather eat a child than take back the man of the sand."

My short story The Man of The Sand was published earlier this year by Bear Creek Gazette. It was recently nominated for the Pushcart Prize!

@AnarchoNinaWrites @disco_socialist@mastodon.social left wing Twitter glows so bad. They have the Lindi Li stink all over them.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @disco_socialist@mastodon.social To see anything at all that’s pro-actually existing socialism, pro-Cuba or pro-DPRK… there’s Luna with her rice field and Amanda in New York with her cats. That’s it.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @disco_socialist@mastodon.social the thing that’s interesting about Twitter is that there’s, like, four tankie accounts total. There entire left-wing of Twitter is all YPG/DSA young Turks enjoyers.

Is there a good list somewhere of #BlPoC to follow in #infosec or adjacent fields on Mastodon?

If mastodon is co-opted by tech giants I would simply move to an even more confusing and esoteric social network

I thought I’d share some of my stuff I’ve made with #midjourney #aiart I mostly use it as a means to express myself. I have #alexithymia so I often am unable to express my emotions. Being able to create images full of emotional tone really helps me process how I’m feeling without having to use words. Even though the machine requires words, it’s different. I see correlations between the patterns the AI works with and the way an #autistic brain works.
