@engipupperino Check out Fedifinder as well. I tried both this and Debirdify and somehow Fedifinder found more accounts. Not entirely sure why, but definitely check it out as well. https://fedifinder.glitch.me

I'm full of so many political opinions and so much anxiety.

@koumeposter @enkiv2 @danhon I got stuck on what server to choose for a while. I tried c.im first because they seem to have robust moderation, but the service was badly overloaded and slooow so I chose this smaller one focused on my location instead. I may change again but I'm happy here for now. Took days to decide, though!

@sapient I will remain forever embittered at That One Guy who killed the early adopter momentum at Google+ with their terrible real names enforcement. For a very brief window, there was a moment where FB could have lost out, but no. G+ had a lot wrong with it too, and given Google's history of killing things, maybe it wouldn't have worked anyways. And yet.

Here, with this bird to elephant migration, it feels like we are fleeing a kaiju attack.

@jhom I've known a few other people who turned their passions into careers, and it sounds like it's very difficult for the passion to survive the career. It works for some, but ends up burning a lot of folks out. I hope you're able to get some distance and healing on that part so you can find joy in this art someday again.

@valdelane Oh, that'a very kind of you! I retweet a lot of things, but hopefully all good things. And yeah, that is the challenge, knowing when to accept these from others and when not to.

@beutelevision Nice! I like the idea of a sound-reactive light-up tree. What I worked on is the lights in the ground around the base of the Man https://public.fotki.com/naturalturn/b m/2006/033670.html

@witchcore As a Bay Area person, I really enjoy your food writing. Glad to see you over here! And I will definitely be buying that cookbook.

All this is to say I've seen many internet core social spaces and many migrations, though it's been a long time since there was a mass migration. Still early days to see what will end up happening here, but just like real world moving homes, moving is hard and things always get broken or lost.

I'm hoping this move will be a positive change, interesting new serendipities.

Sixth internet home: Facebook. I took a break from LJ and when I went back, everyone had moved to FB :( :( :(
Seventh internet home: Twitter. TBH Twitter was more like my in-town apartment with FB as my big suburban house.

Along the way, I had brief flirtations with MySpace, Tribe, Ello, Google+. I use LinkedIn, but it's not home. I use Instagram for art and fashion only.

First online home: a BBS. Left: I got access to the actual internet; BBS eventually shut down.
Second internet home: a Usenet group. Left: One asshole started posting 50 times a day, and the group became all about him & his friends.
Third internet home: An IRC channel. Left: Channel taken over by jerks, remnants regrouped but weren't funny anymore.
Fourth internet home: A Yahoo group. Left: I don't actually remember why.
Fifth internet home: LiveJournal. <3 Left: Russia.

@beutelevision Oh, cool! Can you share pictures or links to your work? Many years ago, I helped out with a large LED Burning Man project, but haven't built anything like that on my own.

Politically engaged Democrat, covid-cautious. I miss music and dancing but too many people breathing out there.

I need new local friends. I don't get out much so mostly want to send memes online & maybe occasionally meet for coffee.
