Please join me on Mastodon, a social network that is not after your data, corporate owned, and connects with a protocol like email. This means you can connect with people all over no matter what server/service they use. https://t.co/cbbqGxxO4i
Find me-- https://t.co/LXpkJKwDMb

@StephanieChan I follow for the whole package. Your account is one that I still come back and read, despite leaving this algorithm-ridden monster a while ago. Don't let the hustle culture eat you up. A focused account isn't genuine, IMO. It's an RSS feed. Be you! Back to Masto, I go and rest.

@coreyhogan @timquerengesser Me three.

@kingstontech Is it safe to assume my SSD warranty is void if I installed it in a linux machine?

The warranty specifically mentions monitoring the drive with the app, but of course the app is only Windows compatible.

I really found a community on this platform when I moved to #yeg I am sad that I have only found a few of those people on other social networks. To each their own.

I miss learning about what's happening in #yegtransit #yegwalk #yegdt #yegbike but I can no longer be on Twitter

ME: Work uses twitter, I should probably pop over there to stay on top of any news related to work.

TWITTER: Here's some posts from hours ago.

ME: *clicks 'load more'*

TWIT: K, I will load the new-ish tweets under these posts from hours ago.

ME: huh?

@scottybomb @unicornwheels @jeffsamsonow @britl There have been a fair share bumps on Mastodon to accommodate the influx as well. However, since it is decentralized you can spin up your own server in moments. There are a couple of places that will host for you, which is what I opted for. No skills needed. My data is mine now.

To each their own. This sentiment, to consider the feelings of others, was something present on twitter before it became a marketing platform and I only found it again on Mastodon. It is not a twitter replacement. Mastodon is open, inclusive & u get out what u put in.

[Christopher Sikkenga @sikkdays]

Wow. I have already had hiccup on my instance of one (me). So many people migrating. Come on over.

"The glasses I wear are not rose-colored, they are polarized. They don't prevent eyestrain, they are polarizing in that they divide me from reality. I only see avenues for shame." https://t.co/DTC3VQHbSB

If we are friends on here and you are thinking of leaving I cannot recommend #mastodon enough @joinmastodon

I have my own server where I can take some people, but I'd suggest you look at https://t.co/GOheEuSwK3 and find a topic and community that interests you.

"In my day, we walked uphill both ways to and from school and I turned out fine!" She said after popping another horse tranquilizer and lighting up a cigarette because "they reduce the risk of disease."

@sarahhoyles One step further is to stop putting a drug dependent rug in front of your home and let the indigenous plants thrive. Pollinators love this and you know, they pollinate our food. #fucklawns

Here is a sign you'll find in #Alberta
It means conservative blowhards who do not care about their future generations live in the area. So don't talk about renewable resources, reconciliation, or non-whites here.

Elon Musk's Twitter takeover sparked a surge in the use of the N-word on the social media platform.

A social media research group told The Washington Post the use of the slur increased by nearly 500%. https://t.co/49CJVwuyIe

There has been another mass migration to #mastodon @joinmastodon from twitter's unmoderated, algorithm powered platform. If there are any of you with questions about #mastodon let me know or find me @ sikkdays @ https://t.co/9CVzlznOcP

Black Panther introduced many of us to Afro-futurism. The trailer s for Black Panther 2 looks like a season of The Crown or some other period piece about royalty.

Did anyone suggest the name Holeywood to @OCLYEG as a replacement for Oliver? #yeg #yegcc #yegwalk #yegdt

@AskPayPal Changed my password via your site and I still get the message "Some of your info isn't correct. Please try again." when logging in. Help!
