Unless something changes in the next month or two I'm starting to think the Firefish project might actually be dead. 😔

Spotify Reportedly Plans To Pay Even Less In Royalties To Less-Popular Artists

"The new system will benefit the artists and labels that are already more established, and the biggest change is that a track will need to reach a minimum number of annual streams before it starts generating royalties."

Words can't describe how much I dislike Spotify.

Thinking about removing all of my dormant followers. I'm not sure if they are actually dormant or if they just don't want to post on Mastodon, but it would be nice to remove all of them and have it be more organized. 😄

I've realized recently that I don't really want to blog about books, I think I just want to post about them on Mastodon. It feels like it turns reading into a chore to have an entire blog dedicated to it. 😅

Reinstalled the official #Mastodon #app for #Android after using only #Fedilab for a while. I guess I like to change apps a lot. 🤣

Wow just saw that firefish.social doesn't load anymore, it's just a blank page. I didn't notice because I never use my firefish.social account. I guess the instance must be having major technical issues.

Tried a bunch of different tests on my MacBook Air and it's still not connecting to Wi-Fi and giving me the network preferences error. I'm thinking it's probably a hardware issue. 😅 :macos: :apusheencomputer: :apple:

At first I was annoyed about needing to replace the MacBook Air battery, but now I'm having fun learning about fixing electronics 😃

Just got my first "It looks like you're using an ad blocker" popup message on YouTube. I was about to watch a video but decided instead to close the tab that had YouTube open. Google sucks. 😒 :youtube: :google:

I feel like I should learn more web development beyond just HTML but reading is so much more fun 😣 CSS is too complicated 😅

According to FediDB, monthly active users on the fediverse have dropped to 1,005,573 😳 Looks like they might drop below 1 million if the downward trend continues.

"This latest clash over moderation comes after The Atlantic reported on Substack publications with “overt Nazi symbols” in their logos, several from prominent white nationalists, and other posts on Substack supporting those views."

Wowwwww this is really bad. I hope the entire company tanks.

Since it's almost 2024 and I recently deleted my Storygraph account for the second time (lol), I'm thinking about how I'm going to be tracking my reading moving forward. I'm thinking maybe a notebook? Nice and simple with no complicated apps.

I wonder how many people are deleting their #Substack accounts today. I hope it's a lot.

noellemitchell, 3 months ago to random

Wow over the past few months I've removed over 500 followers! That's how many dormant accounts were following me. That's a really high percentage. 😅

Last night I deleted my Pixelfed account because I never used it. I really like Pixelfed but I hardly take photos, so it felt like the account was sitting around getting stagnant. I posted only two photos on Pixelfed in the eight months I had the account.

I also deleted my Storygraph account because adding books to it was starting to feel like a chore instead of something fun. I might go back to tracking books I read in a notebook.

Two accounts gone then I guess. 😅😄

How come FediDB says there's 49 million fediverse users? 😲 Did I miss something? 😅

"The Twitter founder unfollowed more than 2,000 accounts, and now is only following Elon Musk, Edward Snowden, and Stella Assange. Meanwhile, he chimed in on Kendrick and Drake’s rap beef quite a bit. He also seemed to call X a “freedom technology” in a tweet on Saturday, warning users to not depend on corporations to grant them rights."

Wow... I'm glad I deleted my Twitter account long ago. Because wtf?

Really enjoying my new reading tracking method of writing down what I read on a piece of paper. So much simpler than an app. 😄

Well now that I've deleted my #WordPress #blog I guess I'll be spending more time posting on #Mastodon again. 😅 :mastodon:

noellemitchell, 6 months ago to mastodon

Freshening up my feed by unfollowing inactive accounts and now looking through the #bookstodon tag to find fellow #readers to follow here on #Mastodon 😄 Feels nice to organize my follows. :blobcatread:
