@bdsams.com You have my endorsement and agreement on that. 👍

@manton I’ve been thinking about this since reading your post. I didn’t realize all these issues existed with Mastodon, which has me wondering—should I abandon it or try something like Sharkey, which seems to address many of these problems? That said, Sharkey doesn’t appear to have widespread adoption yet.
I’m also not convinced that Bluesky is the answer. It doesn’t feel like the Twitter replacement we hoped for—at least, not like the pre-Musk Twitter that I really do miss.
Another thing I’ve been considering is whether Micro.blog would even support something like Sharkey if I made the switch. So, I’ve been doing a lot of pondering. Have I been wasting money running a single-user Mastodon instance that could be silenced without me even knowing it?
I still really like the core idea behind Mastodon. That’s what makes this all so frustrating.

@bdsams.com Hoping your yard held up. Know you were worried about that.

@manton I’m there with you and if this keeps going who knows if I have a job in 6 months. This guy I think is purposefully punishing the US just because he lost to Biden. This is his revenge on us the voters.

@jsonbecker You and me both on this.

@manton I completely agree—well said. I also agree with the analyst from JPMorgan Chase: this is the biggest tax hike in decades.

@manton I got the same email last night and had to double-check its legitimacy since the links looked suspicious. After verifying and filing my claim, I wondered if the email’s sketchiness was intentional to discourage sign-ups. I’ll likely only get a dollar or two, if that. I did buy chicken then!

@manton Seems like a shell game. Moving money between companies he owns to artificially inflate one over the other, leveraging it for loans or to better absorb losses. A classic billionaire maneuver, but the real question is whether it holds up long-term

@manton You must have been reading my mind. I wrote about this very topic just a couple of weeks ago. I think we all feel this way at one time or another. Now get out of my head! 😆

@manton Manton, excellent post! I believe there will always be a prized place for human-made art. What AI art does, in my view, is give people like me who aren’t artists or coders and don’t have artists or coders to help an opportunity to bring our thoughts and ideas to life.
By the way, you’re both an artist and a coder in my book, and Micro.blog is a great piece of code an art form in itself.

@jsonbecker I believe that is the best Movie in the series to date.

@hawaiiboy You either make me laugh or hungry. This had me on the floor.

@manton @pragmartiger @danielpunkass See us Windows users are crying for this. Any chance at all Marsedit can come to Windows?

@numericcitizen I could not agree more and I think this applies to Google’s Sundar Pichai too.

@hawaiiboy Mine is down too, though not as much. I’ve never seen an elected official so gleeful, careless, and clueless—shooting the nation in the foot with tariffs that act as new taxes. Canada has always supported us whenever we’ve asked. So much for lowering prices on day one.

@hawaiiboy You always make me hungry looks good. Bet you tasted just as good.

@AdamChandler Yes imagine if Amazon did this. This doesn’t look good for a company trying to sell something.

@hawaiiboy That does look good. Bet is taste as good as it looks.

@AdamChandler Yes this is the first time I have been met with a website waiting room.

@AdamChandler Just read your Micro.blog review and completely agree. My shared WordPress hosting is expiring next month, and with all the recent hullabaloo surrounding it, I decided to move on. That pushed me headfirst into Micro.blog, and I’ve imported everything over here. Very happy to be here!

@AdamChandler Yes, daycare is definitely a petri dish and an immune builder for not only the kids but the parents too.

@AdamChandler Well that is not so. I followed you too from my timeline. So see you are gaining new followers everyday. Glad Matilda is recovering nicely. Take care!

@samlitzinger last ones bought 8.75 for a dozen in Tampa, FL since gone up to almost 10 dollars.

@hawaiiboy Yes. Now you fill them out online and never hear anything. At least the other way you got to introduce yourself and it was more likely you got a call back.
