According to the #wrapstodon thing, my engagement on Mastodon in 2025 consisted of "500 Internal Server Error".
I was sure I'd written more than that.

I want a new flagship #atproto app that isn't a Twitter clone on the surface. As much as I loved Twitter, I see what the result has been societally and want to move forward. Bluesky is almost a skeumorphic interface on top of atproto and I can't wait to see what's truly possible with this platform.

"ftp.warez.org" used to resolve to 127.0.0.1.
Now it looks like it's been taken over by some domain squatter.

turns out that federating forums by ingesting microblogs with hashtags is an absolutely disastrous idea
even worse, while forum<>forum federation might work, as soon as one forum ingests microblogs it ruins the ecosystem for the other forums who are connected to it

I have been, and continue to be, of the view that the "fight" between #activitypub and #atproto is a distraction.
