#Suggestion: Point #TwitterMigration to the Fediverse so not everyone is flocking to a Mastodon instance.
You see, the network is the #Fediverse, the underlying tech is #ActivityPub (which is a #WebStandard).
Mastodon is, but one of many flavours connected to the Fediverse network. There is no “Mastodon network” or "Pleroma network” or “MissKey network”, they are all “Fediverse network”.
Promote the Fediverse. That is what who we are.

Cintiq Pro 27 (2022) is NICE!! https://bookofadamz.com/hands-on-with-the-2022-wacom-cintiq-pro-27/
"It belongs on the construction site, or in a police vehicle, or military helicopter, or army desert mission, or on an Antarctic research expedition... and that's pretty awesome." #Toughbook #ruggedlaptop https://pocketnow.com/panasonic-toughbook-40-review/

@mike_hales @gert @strypey @lightweight @bhaugen @organizingInFedi @matslats https://webxdc.org by the people behind @delta is interesting, in that it is webapps that uses chat as auth. As I understand, a "server" could be a chatbot sending webxdc apps as responses and handling app responses. If Quicksy support "appears", running community-member-friendly services sounds more tractable than otherwise.

I started a new site for my writings. What do you think? https://bookofadamz.com/
Something a bit different today...
There's a really nice Fediverse admin on here called @stux who provides lots of free decentralised public services (public instances of Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Matrix, Nitter, Invidious, Searx etc).
Stux is spending hundreds of euros a month so that these services remain free and operational.
Apparently Stux has had a tough time finding work recently, but has their own small business which provides web hosting.
If you're looking for a small indie hosting provider, this might be a really good choice as the money raised will help keep the Fedi going too:
(I'm sorry to embarass you Stux, but I think you deserve a shout-out for the good work you do!)
Got to try some sweet new Lenovo laptops. https://pocketnow.com/hands-new-lenovo-slim-laptops
Also, if you prefer to still follow twitter users without an account and without using a bot mirror for mastodon, you can use #Fritter, a pretty decent client for Android that doesn't need an account to work, available on f-droid
For newbies here like me, a very good explanation of what is #Mastodon and the #Fediverse
