I ended up moving from kbin.social to fedia.io which runs mbin and has a team, not just one person. (kbin.social kept breaking all the time for me.)

I’ve been blogging since 1997 and prefer to write things on my own site, but yeah, the sort of “rule” on Reddit was to not link to your own blog. I disabled Google Analytics this year, and it should also be free of any ads, so I feel okay about linking to my own (long) posts about stuff, complete with plenty of photos and the occasional video, but I’m still not sure if that is frowned upon as “self promotion” even on the Fediverse…

I use hashtags on my posts to help other discover them, but also to group my posts by subject. I probably follow 30 different hashtags on Mastodon to help me find interesting posts.

I think it’s the pain of receiving high medical bills which keeps me (and most other US citizens) from doing fun/silly/stupid/risky things…

I got an Anbernic RG35XX just so I could play Tetris with a Game Boy like experience.

This is very exciting! I’m looking forward to the growth of the Threadiverse.

The Bear 2 beta has been out for a while now… https://beta.bear.app/t/the-bear-2-beta-is-here/9115

(I mainly use Bear as a synchronized notebook.)
