I'm trying to convince the last friends I have left on Facebook, X, Threads, or BlueSky to join the Fediverse. Some have tried but felt a sense of loneliness. Nowadays, many people are so used to doing what algorithms suggest that they can no longer make independent choices.
My timeline here, on the other hand, is beautiful.
I see what I want, I follow people who post what I like, and no one tells me what I should do. Freedom may come with a "cost," but whatever it is, it's worth the effort. Always.

Hello world! This is my little space in the Fediverse.
Have a great day!

Earlier today, I had posted two photos (an avatar and a banner) generated by AI. I was kindly contacted and informed that AI generates by taking works from artists and creators without their consent, essentially exploiting their work without any permission or credit.
I hadn't thought about it, so I immediately removed and replaced the two images with the ones that are there now.
Since respect is at the core of my presence in the world (both "physical" and "virtual"), I will not be posting any AI-generated images on this profile. What I will post will only be my photos or photos and images I find around (with proper attribution).

I want to publicly thank @grunfink for creating the amazing snac2, which powers my instance.
They've read everything I noted, suggested changes, and adapted the code to make it work optimally even on my slow VM. If all open source developers were as kind and helpful as they have been with me, the world would be an idyllic place.
A shoutout to @stefano too - using snac2 was his idea, and he's responsible for the technical implementation of the instance.
And thanks to everyone who makes my timeline interesting and complete - without you, all of this would be utterly pointless.

Thanks to all the old and new friends for the follow!
I've received a really warm welcome, and I'm thrilled to be here with you. The world would be a much better place if everyone had the positive attitude you've shown me upon my arrival.
Thanks again!!!!!!

My day started with a walk in the park. There was an elderly lady walking her little dog, and she decided to play with me. The lady was trying to go home, but the little one wanted to stay with me. Since we knew each other by sight, we agreed that the dog would stay with me all morning while she ran errands. In the late morning, she returned, and the dog happily went back home with her. I had the honor of spending a few hours of pure joy and carefreeness, rediscovering the pleasures of simple things.
Sometimes, in life, we should just take a few hours to stop and see the world through the eyes of a dog.

Since social networks are filled with negativity, I want to share some good news with everyone: it's Wednesday, and we're already halfway through the week. That means the next weekend is closer than the time that has passed since the last one. #Positivity #WednesdayVibes #WeekendIsNear

My timeline is becoming quite interesting. I'm trying to follow both familiar faces and new contacts to create a positive, constructive, and relaxing experience.
Many of you have decided to follow me, and I'm really pleased about that.
In the meantime, good morning/afternoon/evening/night (according to your timezone) to all of you, friends of the #fediverse!

#Introduction

Hello Fediverse community!

I'm excited to be here, posting from a fresh instance. In this space, I'll be an enigma - no faces, no physical descriptions. Think of me as a canvas for ideas and thoughts, an ethereal presence in the digital realm.

Here, it's all about the words and the world they create. I'm the voice you'll read, the thoughts you'll ponder.

Thank you for pausing on my profile. To everyone reading this, I hope your day could be wonderful.

Let's embark on this journey of abstract conversations and meaningful exchanges. Looking forward to connecting with you all.

I wanted to create this space to establish a small oasis of positivity. Everywhere you look these days, you see nervousness, impatience, intolerance, and often unwarranted cruelty. Hate and negativity seem to be the release valves for people's frustrations. But hurting others doesn't improve our own condition. So here, I want to smile and share smiles, positivity.

Reading the posts from the people I follow, I'm seeing beautiful places, amazing animals, and a general sense of well-being. I used to be a part of some larger instances, but their timelines were always filled with hatred or controversy. Large instances are like big apartment buildings: you have a lot of people around, but you can't choose your neighbors (too much). Here, I have my little home. Modest, but I can choose friends and neighbors. And that means a lot to me.

Me and my first phone Over 40 years ago.

This photo has been on my grandma's living room cabinet for as long as I can remember. She passed away a couple of years ago, and to keep her memory alive, my wife suggested we keep it in our living room.

A blast from the past looking towards the future.

No, the phone doesn't run Android or iOS 😆

Tuesday is always a special day. The chaos of Monday is over, but it's not yet the middle of the week. It's a day I've always liked a lot. You don't have the anticipation rush of the weekend, but neither the sadness of its end.
Have a great Tuesday, whoever is reading!

Speaking of geeky feminine things, I found this carry bag for Nintendo switch that is so cute, kinda tempted to make it my main handbag now. I mean look at this pretty thang! 🥰

Happy #MondayMotivation, my friends!

As we embark on this new week, I want you all to know that YOU GOT THIS! Mondays can often feel daunting, but I believe in each and every one of us.

Today is not just the start of a fresh week, but an opportunity to:

Recharge our batteries
Reset our goals
And recharge our passions!

So, let's take a deep breath together and face this day with confidence. Remember that every small step forward is a victory, and every obstacle overcome is a testament to your strength.

As we journey through this week, I encourage you all to spread kindness, practice self-care, and celebrate each other's successes. Let's make Monday the start of an amazing week, full of growth, laughter, and connection!

And finally, it's Saturday! This weekend I want to dedicate it to myself, to rediscovering what I want to do, what I like, not doing what is needed, what others want, what is necessary. Have a great free weekend to all of you!

Hello, #Fediverse friends! Just got some wonderful news and wanted to share it with someone, and who better than you all. A dear friend who has been ill for a while has overcome their illness. We'll reunite tomorrow to celebrate together, but I'm bursting with joy already. Life has a way of bringing good news just when we need it most. #GoodNews #Celebration #Grateful

Another weekend is coming to an end, and a new week is about to begin. Tomorrow holds something exciting for me, so I wish you, reading this, the same enthusiasm for the future that I have thinking about tomorrow. #newweek #excitement #lookingforward

As Sunday dawns with its gentle light and comforting warmth, I find myself surrounded by the people who truly matter—the ones whose love makes every moment sparkle brighter. It's incredible how just being in their presence can lift my spirit and fill me with an indescribable joy that feels as vast as our digital universe!

Today has been a day of laughter, shared memories, and heartfelt connections—a sundial marking the passing time where love is etched deeply into every moment. The sun sets now, but its glow leaves behind warmth that I carry with me as we prepare to embrace tomorrow's adventures together.

As this week unfolds before us like an unwritten story waiting to be discovered, I can’t help but feel excited and eager for the new chapters it will bring. So here's to embracing love, cherishing every shared smile and conversation, and stepping into the future with open hearts and hopeful spirits!

To each one of you following me on this journey—may your coming week be filled with positivity that radiates from within, empowering experiences, and connections that leave lasting impressions. Let's weave a tapestry of joyous moments together as we continue to share the magic of our interconnected lives!
