Perfectly understandable.

It’s the principle of the thing. I’m not going to delete myself, pretend I wasn’t there for all those years. The record stands. (Except for any media posted prior to 2014, which now exists only on my personal cloud storage, I guess.)

I haven’t deleted my account - it’s 17 years old! But I also haven’t posted in a couple months other than saying I’ve moved to Mastodon. I said I’d hold on to the bitter end & I will. I’m not leaving, they’ll have to evict me.

I’m sorry about your dad.

The article says shots were fired, police got involved & the gunman is dead.

There are a few of us out there being weird. But it is very tech-heavy right now, as was Twitter at first.

I agree. I want to see people’s opinions on the news of the day. By the way, I recommend following @BlackAzizAnansi@mas.to if you want a little controversy. He was one of my favorite posters from Twitter & has gone all-in on Mastodon.

There are a couple small subreddits I’m part of that are lifelines, close communities for people who need a space to share information & be themselves. I’ve checked in on them once during the past month & they’re still holding together. The mods are staying because those small groups of users need them & don’t have another place to go. I expect once the Fediverse spawns more highly specialized niche communities, they’ll drift over.

I had Mlem, but it stopped working a couple days ago when they began the move from beta to release. Now it’s not available at all, and I can’t seem to find Memmy or wefwef on the App Store either. Where are y’all getting these apps from?
