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.

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=

I just wanted to take a moment and showcase how amazing the @asyncapi TSC has become.

Fourteen years, nine months. End of an era. Apparently you can't delete straight-up, you have to deactivate and wait 30 days and then it is deleted.
And yes, I am deleting my account. Best of luck to whatever impersonator or spammer takes over the tinysubversions name. I refuse to dignify Twitter as a canonical namespace.
