Please ignore this post: it’s here only to offer verification of my blog’s authenticity so I can share the link on Mastodon.
My apologies for the disruption – I will go back to the normal programming shortly… 😉

I also opened a Mastodon account, not very active yet, waiting for more people to get there, but I sort of hope Twitter collapses soon, I’m more and more fed up with Musk.

The new owner notwithstanding, the place has been an irretrievable mess for quite some time so I was ready to try out a different medium with less… ahem… background noise. The learning curve requires some dedication but I’m getting there… 😉

I’m on Twitter to follow… everyone, because everyone is there currently. My favourite journalists, genre writers, OSINT accounts analysing Ukraine… some already double post on Twitter and Mastodon, but only a few now, I hope it will become a trend. Mastodon could be a great way for professionals to keep more control over their content, as they could maintain their servers. But it would require time & effort… one feature I’m missing is auto translation, as I follow some German and Ukrainian accounts and don’t know the languages.

Mastodon is still “young” so we can expect some… growing pains for a while, but as far as I can see the migratory flow is picking up in direct ratio with the increase of madness on Twitter, so we can expect that more and more people we are interested about will move there. To quote a Minbari proverb, “faith manages” 😉

I will leave Twitter one of these days but I am in no hurry to go elsewhere. 😉

I saw the move as an opportunity for the only working neuron in my head to flex its muscles and get some exercise… 😀 😀

It’s a relatively new – and now upcoming – microblogging platform based on a decentralized network. I’m not going into further explanation because I’m not very technically-minded. If you’re interested you can take a look here:

I had heard about it in recent times, but it was the move of a writer I follow to the new medium that compelled me to look deeper… 🙂
