I went to Seattle for SEAGL a couple of months ago. I took the Link light rail from SeaTac to the university district where my hotel was. The train was about half full. I spent most of the time on my phone catching up on Fediverse posts, texts and email.

Choose Mastodon. Choose the Fediverse.

Choose curiosity over virality. Boost because you care. Follow because you’re interested. Be niche. Be human.

Choose Freedom.

Note the "sharks" and "jets" analogy. It's funny how the whole warblogger thing has migrated to social media — including here on Mastodon, although it's worse on Bluesky. I guess I'm a jet in this era of the internet too :)

Welp. I just deleted a couple of posts that were deep in threads that a whole bunch of people were taking out of context and accusing me of things I was not advocating for. My mentions are destroyed for the day and I have real work to do, so comments off on this post as well.
