Like a lot of folks, I'm moving over to Mastodon (unless something very major changes on this site). I'm on the https://t.co/SB92sQvvz6 server, which looks good for network engineers.

@ecbanks Yeah I reckon, if only because there's a bigger and more active user base now, so you'll get a more accurate idea of whether it works for you. Like Twitter, it's only as good as the accounts you're following. I've not seen many RSS reposts, but I have seen many blog-sized posts.

New blog post about Junos and BGP! Posted the link on my Mastodon. Click for cool learnings: https://t.co/RFSWPJY7gd

Though, I don't think Mastodon is a great replacement, Much bigger character limit = many long posts that I just scroll past. Mixed feelings about the move.

@TracketPacer Aah thank you! I wrote it all by myself (well, my mum helped me with the first bit, and with the drawings, and the middle bit, and also the end bit, but I did all the rest)

@sus_admin no its' real, it's as real as the sun is bright (which is very rbight)

[Chris Parker @ Network Fun-Times @NetworkFunTimes]

I'm on the new place

[Chris Parker @ Network Fun-Times @NetworkFunTimes]

@emperphis Nice! Haha as it happens you were, by chance, one of the first people I found on there!

[Chris Parker @ Network Fun-Times @NetworkFunTimes]

@TracketPacer aah yes of course, makes sense. it's a fair cop.

[Chris Parker @ Network Fun-Times @NetworkFunTimes]

@sus_admin better get in there quick, there's only four prizes. i cannot release a fifth prize. my hands are tied on this.

[Chris Parker @ Network Fun-Times @NetworkFunTimes]

@TracketPacer this is the worst outcome out of all possible outcomes

[Chris Parker @ Network Fun-Times @NetworkFunTimes]

@sus_admin we're living in the future, there's no doubt about it

[Chris Parker @ Network Fun-Times @NetworkFunTimes]

@TracketPacer the special secret new "mast o don" place we can't mention without being shadowbanned

[Chris Parker @ Network Fun-Times @NetworkFunTimes]

@Sipart you can always trust in the information superhighway

[Chris Parker @ Network Fun-Times @NetworkFunTimes]

@Sipart Sure did - noc dot social slash at NetworkFunTimes

BTW it was super easy to sign up. No idea what the fuss was about with it being difficult. You go to their site, you choose a server, you sign up, you wait a bit, and then that's it.

If, like me, you were put off based purely on the stories of faff and difficulty: it's a breeze.

[Chris Parker @ Network Fun-Times @NetworkFunTimes]

Catching up on bookmarks. Interesting read from @ioshints on SR-MPLS vs SRv6 for brand new deployments. https://t.co/KptPvhwPas

I like to think he'd sing "Turn It (off and) On Again".

[Paul-in-Ottawa @paul_in_ottawa]

@NetworkFunTimes But if you phoned him up on the technical support line about an outstanding item and he started to sing "I Don't Care Anymore", it would all be worth it.

[Chris Parker @ Network Fun-Times @NetworkFunTimes]

Good to know, thank u .
