Killer quote:

“I’m going back to the Fediverse. Back to Mastodon. To the nerds, the hobbyists, the idealists. The people who don’t talk about reach, but about relevance. To those who understand that decentralization isn’t nostalgic, it’s the future. That digital sovereignty isn’t a gimmick […]

Traditionally, #cmgr was always used in #socialmedia to converse about topics related to nurturing, building and sustaining online communities (Usually, #cops = #communitiesofpractice), but it looks like that hashtag is a bit quiet over here in #mastodon

Are there other hashtags people can […]

You know you've been doing rather well in your #NoeMail quest over the course of the last 18 years when you've only received 3 emails for Black Friday related sales deals this week thus far.

Not too shabby. In fact, I'd dare to say pure bliss! 👌🏻😍

You know one of those days in which the morning goes by running different errands and you can't get sh*t done at work despite trying hard? Well, that's been my morning and early afternoon so far ... 😤

Aaah, gotta love #flexiblework, I tell ya! 😍👍🏻

Any social internet worth thinking about needs to be built on the idea of care.
- care for the wellbeing of the people on the network (moderation)
- care for those doing extra work (like moderation)
- care for each other (add alt-texts to images, thinking about inclusivity etc)
- care to make […]

Music 👉🏻 Song Transitions 👉🏻 AutoMix

Can I say it's become one of my favourite new features from iOS 26.x? I mean, it works really well and the transitions in between songs are just bonkers! 🤯

Slowly, but steadily, Liquid Glass is growing into me with the odd quirk here and there, but that […]

I get #pixelfed is perhaps not the most intuitive and user friendly when using it as your daily photo blog site, compared to other (more popular) #socialmedia photo apps.

I am quite ok with the (awkward) "friction". I need it, it's good, but every day that bugs and quirks are not addressed / […]

How far will it go this time?
This post from #mastodon can reach the whole #fediverse, #bluesky & more.
That's #sharkey, #misskey, #pixelfed, #mbin, #lemmy, #friendica, #hometown, #Akkoma…

If you see it, please share it.

Let me see if I get this straight ...

- I host my own #wordpress blog for $37 per year.

#ghost's packages:

- Starter: $15 per month
- Publisher: $29 per month

Hummm ... And my incentive to make the move away from WP into Ghost is ... ? 🙄

What am I missing? 🤔

Once I make the move to, finally, delete my #linkedin profile for good, this fab blog post by @timbray will be one of the several links I'll share with people in my social networks as to why I'm living behind all of the "traditional" Social Media tools & go rogue with #mastodon & the #fediverse […]

For those folks using #pixelfed, is the Collections feature gone for good? Or perhaps just borked?

It looks like it disappeared for me a couple of days ago and I can no longer add photos to a specific Collection. It doesn't even work after I have shared a photo and have tried to re-edit to add […]

One of these days I ought to ask myself why I keep going back daily to #linkedin (Filled with #aislop), while neglecting the human-powered #mastodon, when I enjoy so much more the latter than the former 🙄.

Like, I don't seem to have learned the lesson, do I? 🤯

After nearly a month and a half […]

Hummm ... It looks like somehow I'm much more attractive over at #pixelfed than over here in #mastodon, if I were to judge the amount of times over the last few months I've used the block option in both apps with ladies wearing skimpy clothes 😳

Is it because MT has got better moderation, or […]

We’re thrilled to be bringing you a upcoming feature to help you find your people on Mastodon: Packs. (Or something… we’re still figuring out the name.)
As always, we want to build this important feature for the community WITH the community.

I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here?

I'll pay the bills. Period.

I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.

DM me.

For those of you on #pixelfed using gram.social, is it working for you? I am getting a "502 Bad Gateway" at the moment via Web browser and mobile app 😢

Anyone else? 🤔

.cc @stux Did anyone report it already? Are you aware of any issues with the server?

Thanks! 🙏🏻😊

It still boggles my mind pretty badly to think Jack Nilles first coined #telework / #teleworking the same year I was born: 1972 🤯

And, yet, 53 years later, #remotework / #distributedwork are *still* considered dirty words within the workplace 😤

Ha! I can't find the toot I shared back then, but remember the issue I had with a #homepod Mini a few months back when it started to "speak to itself" via Siri without being prompted and that I eventually had to unplug it because it was pretty much unbearable?

Want to know how I fixed it?
