The more time I spend on Mastodon cultivating, expanding, and engaging with my network(s), the less tolerable the Facebook and Twitter timelines become. Mastodon reminds me of why social matters, and reveals how much advertising and the algorithm has crept into every moment of my day and set the pace off my reality.
Setup for Christmas. Looking west towards the Sierras. Looking east towards Death Valley.

Discussing years between 1980 and 1985 with siblings, trying to get accurate details of where we moved and lived while young. Most of our references were song based. MTV launching. Eurythmics. Van Halen.

I wrote about how I cannot understand why anyone is interested in joining a new centralized social media platform when we now have a great opportunity to move to protocols instead of platforms. https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/21/why-would-anyone-use-another-centralized-social-media-service-after-this/

In my New Year’s prediction for @niemanlab, I write about newsletter writers’ long-overdue ethical reckoning, and tell an embarrassing story about the time a mysterious company offered me money to write a hit job on Amazon.

@econproph I estimate I got 5 years before I can go full Santa. ;-) You are welcome. Let me know if you have other needs, I am building out different capabilities as they are needed.
@chrismetcalf Hello!! Miss you! Let me know if you have more needs around Mastodon API.
@andypiper You are welcome. I can't imagine what you've been distracted with? ;-) Hope all is well.
@andypiper Thanks for tuning me into that link. I've been maintaining my own OpenAPI, and I'd prefer it to be community thing.
@frois Yes. I've ran much of my blog for last decade using Twitter in similar ways -- hoping to recreate anew here.
I created a Postman collection that pulls anything I favorited on Mastodon, then pull any URLs in each post. I'll publish these to a Github JSON file or to a Google Sheet next. https://www.postman.com/api-evangelist/workspace/mastodon/documentation/35240-fe0b69d7-4cda-4ee6-9134-20ec255d4007?entity=&branch=&version=
