I'm mostly at my standalone GoToSocial server these days. I tried migrating this account again, and this time I figured out the problem: I'd misconfigured my server's proxy settings and everything was getting rate limited.
So next time it should finish - but I have to wait another 29 days for the cooldown. Meanwhile, if you'd like to see what I'm up to lately, feel free to follow me at @kelson
Online discourse: "You have to convince me to vote for Joe #Biden"
Why? I don't like Joe Biden. The idea that anyone has to convince you to fall in love with Joe Biden is as absurd of a #political assertion as the #MAGA cult and #Trump, that #politics is about #passion
I will give a prize to the first person who can tell me how how to see the alt text on images in Mastodon being viewed in the duckduckgo browser on Android 14.
Another trip around the sun complete! I'm actually happy about that, this year. I've been in reflection all month long and I'm pleased at what I've learned about myself. I feel a transition coming on!💞🥹🎂🥳Good things await! #HappyBirthday
If you'd like to be a blessing to me on my birthday, donate to my rent fund for June.

What a great feature that I didn’t know about: You can subscribe to only specific languages of a user. Seems to be only available in the #Mastodon web interface so far, but I would love for clients like @ivory, @MonaApp and @phanpy to add this as well.
I post in English and German, for example, and have been trying to set this accordingly since the distinction became available. With this it’s now possible to only follow my English posts, if German isn’t for you. 🎉 https://metalhead.club/@thomas/112513712300662978
UI differences are a big factor in the success/failure of decentralised federation of diverse platforms and content
And this seems a good example: bridged #mastodon posts onto #BlueSky which has a lower character limit than Mastodon.
So, just like #lemmy posts on mastodon, you don't get the full content of the post (which ends with an abrupt ellipsis here) and have to take a link to the original platform.
However powerful the underlying protocols, this isn't far from screenshots.
My biggest #gripe with #Mastodon is reach and the ability to discover stuff outside of chronological scrolling. Lists in #BlueSky make that better. Imho the algorithms in #Threads are too intrusive.
If there were simpler ways to connect with different topics on here it would make it excellent, to me at least. I guess it might come down to why you use different social media.
El gobierno de ultraderecha hace 6 meses retiene en almacenes COMIDA. No la reparte a pesar que 6 de cada 10 argentinos son pobres y 2 de cada 10 son indigentes.
El gobierno anterior distribuía comida a miles de comedores barriales pero este gobierno decidió que los pobres ni comida merecen.
Y aunque siempre habrá justificaciones para la maldad, siempre habrá también gente dispuesta a combatir la maldad.
