This is no longer a primary social media account for me. See my website for my preferred contact methods.

Welp, I'm officially abandoning Twitter. For details on why and where to find me, see here:

@Exmo_Lex I love when apologetic responses require you to ignore other apologetic responses.
"Polygamy was instated to help the saints grow their numbers."

@Oblomov @Take2or200 Actually, they forked the code and removed to ability to connect to the Fediverse. Just as well, they'd have been defederated anyways.

[@[email protected] @jlamothe1980]

@xBuzzRush @npenzenstadler So it'll be seen then.

Good.

[@[email protected] @jlamothe1980]

@emrazz I should clarify that I'm not saying we shouldn't *try* though.

[@[email protected] @jlamothe1980]

@emrazz Sadly, that's a very generous success rate. :(

[@[email protected] @jlamothe1980]

@acbenning @CavannaRose By the way, if you're still trying to get on the Fediverse, but are having trouble finding an instance that's a fit, mine is available for friends and family. It's not Mastodon, but it's Mastodon-compatible.

@acbenning @CavannaRose If you need a hand, I'm happy to help. I also made this to help people coming from Twitter to better understand Mastodon.

@flying_squirrel Oh, wait. You were pointing out an instance of a walled garden becoming more open. That went right over my head. That *is* interesting.

[@[email protected] @jlamothe1980]

@flying_squirrel Yup. Mastodon is not the be-all and end-all, nor was it meant to be.

[@[email protected] @jlamothe1980]

@m_druker Fair enough. I tend to rely on boosts/recommendations from those I follow... though I acknowledge the risk of falling into an echo chamber. I personally don't trust a black-box algorithm, but others may decide differently and that's OK. It's about informed decisions.

[@[email protected] @jlamothe1980]

@JimmyASnow And here I was giving him credit for keeping to his word that he'd stay on Truth Social even if reinstated.

I ought to have known better.

[@[email protected] @jlamothe1980]

@fantasyprone Krita?

[@[email protected] @jlamothe1980]

@RaynaRambling I'd be happier if we just did away with cars entirely, to be honest.

[@[email protected] @jlamothe1980]

@AlexaKilroy @elonmusk Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just start from scratch? Though, I suppose this way he doesn't have to compete with Twitter.

[@[email protected] @jlamothe1980]

@jimmurphy @elonmusk I think Twitter's TOS expressly forbids this. I can't cite it, but that's pretty common. It looks like they've reinstated his old account, but he hasn't used it yet. Hopefully he sticks with Truth Social.
