My year with Mastodon (#MastodonWrapped)
I celebrated my first #Mastoversary a few days ago. It’s been a good first year on Mastodon for me; I like the #Fediverse idea, I like people here, and I like the calm vibe this place offers.
Also, I ditched all of my other #SocialMedia accounts. All but one.¹
As I say, Mastodon is a good #platform to be, however there are a couple of things I’ve been struggling with the whole time. I’m going to put together a brief summary below in hope that someone can help me with them.
¹ I still keep Instagram to exchange cute pics of sloths and pandas, and ice-hockey reels with my sons. 😁
If you are annoyed by people who boost too much (like me 😁 ), you need not mute them! Just go to their profile and choose behind the 3 dots "hide boosts from @ xy". This is also the easiest way to get only original posts by a followee.
What service do you use to #share a bunch of #photos with friends and family (avoiding the obvious mega services available)? I'm looking for something with a low barrier web interface (no account, private link access), download capability, and maybe self-deleting after a few days. Preferably #privacyrespecting and #opensource.
Very happy to announce "Wichtige Hinweise", a 12" written and played on modular synths, and with dedication by NKLS & myself.

Must be time for a "Hunger Games" marathon courtesy of #ThePiratebay#torrent#share website, much compliments and thankyou for your service to all who use it as it's #mutualaid. New #movie will drop on the piratebay very soon. #gif#dystopia#free
I'm a working, widowed, single mum of 2 young boys. I live in a rental flat that has become unsafe with black mould and poor heating. Without help, I'm stuck here.
I'm trying to raise enough for a deposit on a new place. I can't do it alone.
Can you please help by sharing this or donating a little?

It is a Handmaiden’s Tale level nightmare now in Texas, where Lubbock has become the largest county where it is illegal to travel through the county to receive abortion services in another state. This is what predictably happens when you throw a fundamental question of human rights “back to the states” to decide. We need Roe v. Wade and its legal protections codified.

"Why exactly once delivery matter? In order for the end-to-end systems to function as if just one message was ever sent, exactly once processing allows duplicate messages to be sent over the network as long as they are identical, and duplications are found and removed from the consuming system." #share#link
