To the newcomers to Mastodon and the Fediverse:

When you ask to follow someone that doesn't accept followers automatically, please have your profile filled out and some posts in your feed by you. I'm not going to follow anyone that hasn't taken the time to get their feet wet and write some posts, so I can know what you're about.

@Clementulus

What made you think that ANY social media is different? The only difference here is that there aren't any algorythims here to shove controversial posts in your face, but otherwise humans are the same.

Love music, play #guitar, enjoy tech, read a lot, write quite a lot.

Day job: I run a #Linux support and consultancy business.

Run a weekly music show on #Mixcloud. Wrote my own playout software in #python.

Weekends: I do a bit of #gliding including teaching it.

That's my #introduction - what's next?

New here. Tell me what I need to know.

Officially erased my bird site presence this morning and with it my associated contacts. I haven't seen a wide-scale migration yet of the #weather / #wxtwitter community, which accounted for half of my Twitter contacts.

As a sort of final #introduction post and calling card for the weather community, one of my primary uses of Twitter was to share my #WeatherPhotography and #storm reports. I'll probably continue to share weather and #climate content here! CW's as needed. Some of my faves below.

I know eh? It's fricken silly, the mob leaves en masse and it only seems to be those of a certain poltical persuasion. My motto when change like this happens, is always to wait until the smoke clears, to see what changes if any, happen. Mob mentality rules.

@barthalion
Well I'm sorry I didn't save it for you. :-/ It was a trojan and I didn't really find it unusual because some serious actors want to surveil people on TOR. If you think it's unlikely, then you're naive. I'm only surprised it hasn't happened more often!

@marathon0 Interesting, some errors in this png:

Hubzilla is also a blog based on wordpress (that are spread on the fediverse)
Networking should have be wrote (micro-)blogging instead
Lemmy is a specific case as an alternative to Reddit.
Dokieli and Olkiare missing here, they are for scholar publication/review.
Beside Matrix ejabberd (jabber/XMPP) has also fediverse bridge
Gancio is a calendar for events

Is there someone that would create a itch.io like Fediverse tool, now there are lot of gamedev ? Itch.io is more and more restrictive on log in and only allow Youtube video.

@barthalion
I downloaded a Tor version several years back from Flathub which some individual had uploaded. Damn thing had a trojan in it! Only found it by accident.
