☑ biology holds no sway over whether or not I give my time and energy to someone else. I determine when and where to distribute the precious resource that is my life based on the treatment I receive from those around me - whether we share DNA or not. In truth, I spend time with people because I love them, and they love me... and refuse to invest in those who physically or emotionally abuse me.

So I've opened a few more accounts on a couple of other instances; it's very cool to see the different culture and user bases at each.

For one of them, I imported my follows from here. For the other two, I've been hodge-podge-dly building a new follow list by finding some people I enjoy already, and new people found on the other local and federated instances.

If I keep going like this, I am not sure if I'll fragment myself or if this is a good way to experience different sides of this medium.

...also, Mastodon is encouraging me to do things that I already wanted to do:

* learn languages (French, Spanish, Danish, Gaelic)
* brush up on my CSS & JavaScript skills
* learn languages (Angular, Ruby)

It has encouraged me to write introspective posts. It has made me laugh out loud at the sheer cleverness of others. It has been a safe space to show up as 100% me, non-curated: just me.

At what point of deciding that a dog and a pickup truck are things one needs in one's life does a person literally become a country song

I'm working on a blogpost to explain the federated timeline, user accounts and idea of multiple identities and I could use some quotes and examples from longtime Mastodon/GNUSocial users. When you have an account on multiple instances, why do you do that?
How do you manage these accounts and logins? Is Mastodon thé solution for your identities?

You don't have to name the accounts and you can always DM me if you want to stay anonymous.

Boost = Love!

i'm at that stage in a project where i get a bit bored of the project itself and want to fool myself into thinking i will be "more productive" if i did something like "installing a whole new operating system"

Easter is when we celebrate that time Kirk wasn't dead at the end of "Amok Time" and Spock's reaction

My meta-metamour has used 'a series of cat-food tins' and an old printer to shore up and angle the indoor a/c so that it doesn't vibrate angrily after thirty minutes of running -- it does this because the bucket gets full.

He is brilliant and knows it, lol.

I bet Sean Spicer's mixed up in a real life body-swap comedy. Somewhere out there a competent press secretary is panicking over junior prom.

It looks like Mastodon opened the door for sustainable and scalable online subcalture community. This will survive even if they won't go main stream.
