@CrowderSoup Interesting. Still forming my opinions. Trying to learn how others see. Thanks for sharing.

@CrowderSoup Do you see Mastodon as text, image, video, or d) all the above and dismiss anyone who says otherwise?

My #Introduction. My name is Kin Lane. I am Chief Evangelist at #Postman, and I have been writing and telling stories as the #API Evangelist since 2010. I study the intersection of #Policy, #Regulation, #Algorithms, #Governance, and how #Technology #Platforms are used to manipulate or empower us—sharing what I see from across this #digital landscape we are perpetually building for ourselves.

@jeremyfiel Yes. Just a scheduled collection.

@jnoxon Yeah, I think deeply about these things, and work hard to keep things within my domain (control). I'll have to get back to you on the bandwidth it takes. My first instance is single user, but setting up multi-user for API Evangelist -- I'lll keep sharing my learnings as I go. It is an interesting journey.

@rdegges It took me a while to make shift, but I am there after like five years. Behavioral change is hard. ;-)

@rdegges YYYY-mm-dd -- just sorts better. Better context for reality.

@carlos Yes! It really is a different feeling. It is a different state of being that I don't think everyone fully understands the importance of.

@rbates Simple, modular, hands-on, blog posts.

On Twitter I automatically delete my Tweets after 6 months. Since I have my own instance and database here I will keep all my data.

Thank you to @jeremiahlee for the recommendation -- I have run Twitodon - https://twitodon.com/ and finding all my friends who are here.

@lblanken Thank you! Happy to be exploring and learning. Audrey is contemplating letting me set her up a server -- we will see.

@jeremiahlee I haven't found that. Thank you. Was wondering if something like that existed.

OK, followed a handful of people I know. Getting the feel for how all of this works.

Hello world! We have a successful Mastodon install. Everything seems to work.
