Replied to Fediverse Account Portability And Blocking by

@edent (shkspr.mobi)

One of the many great things about the Fediverse (Mastodon, PixelFed, Lemmy, etc) is that your account is portable.
Let’s say you’re bob@social.boring and, one day, you decide to move your account to foxyfun@furryextreme.yif. Well, with a few clicks of a button, all of your old followers are now fol…

I entirely agree with your post, and feel like this is a pretty big problem with most of the Fediverse (with maybe the exception of Mastodon): it was not built with moderation in mind and now that it’s taking off, admins & users are unprepared for many possible types of abuse. One of the many…

testing lemmy comments from wordpress

Replied to Bingo! How to post to Lemmy from Mastodon! – Lemmy (lemmy.ml)

Bingo! How to post to Lemmy from Mastodon! @test [https://lemmy.ml/c/test] Put
the title of the post in the first line. Then tag the lemmy community as though
they are an account. Then tag other people at the end if you want them included.

My turn to test: I’m wondering if posting from my Wordpress website, which is compatible with activitypub, works to post a comment to Lemmy. If that works, I’ll then have to figure out how to create a post in a community 🙂

choosing a hybrid publisher

Liked Writer’s Workshop: 3 Reasons I Chose a Hybrid Publisher (K E Garland)

First things first. It’s good. I almost feel like it’s too good for me to publish. Like you could get an agent, and do a proposal, and go traditional. Honestly, I’m happy to suppo…

Interesting thoughts about choosing a publisher that’s somewhere between an indie press and a vanity publisher.

nobody cares about your blog

Liked Nobody cares about your blog by Alex Molas (alexmolas.com)

I started writing on my blog some years ago, and since then I’ve had a lot of reasons to stop writing. Here’s a list of why nobody cares about your blog:

and that’s fine!

The McNulty spectrum

Liked I am on the McNulty Spectrum (Jay Little – Software Obsessionist)

So over the last few weeks, I have been re-watching one of my favorite television shows of all time, The Wire. If you haven’t seen it, you should probably rectify that oversight. That being what it is, I’m currently making my way through Season 3 and I had a revelation of sorts: I might be a McNulty.

and you’re not alone in this exact state of mind! (minor spoilers for season 3 of The Wire)

Creating moments of joy

This post is written for the IndieWeb carnival; the prompt is Moments of Joy, by James. Of course, for moments of joy, I first considered telling you about gender, because I’ve just spent a month celebrating that. But Pablo wrote about Pride for the same carnival. Then, I thought maybe I could write about my…

Scholomance / A Deadly Education

Read The Scholomance Series by Naomi Novik ( )

I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world.

I accidentally binge read the Scholomance trilogy this week, and it was glorious. a heroine whose life curse is that she’s deeply unlikeable, and who stopped even trying. an extraordinarily powerful and socially clueless sidekick. bisexuals! evil plots to take over the world! linguistics!?

threads by meta

Liked First thoughts about Threads by

Ben Werdmuller (werd.io)

Meta’s new social network is interesting: an obvious strategic shot at Twitter just as that network is running into trouble, as well as a way to iterate on its aging Facebook property. To that end, it makes sense that Meta would piggyback on the fediverse of independent social networks that interc…

It doesn’t look like Threads is coming to the EU anytime soon, so I’m getting my first look second-hand. I have personal thoughts & a conflict of interest both as a Meta employee and a Mastodon user, so I won’t write anything myself about the feature in the foreseeable future, but I liked Ben’s post…
