Folks! @pixelfed is a nice alternative to Instagram. Plus, your friends can follow your account there from Mastodon, bridged Bluesky, or any other account on the Fediverse.

I suggest using https://pixey.org as your home server, as @stux is doing a great job there.

@karaswisher @brandeebarker Meanwhile on Mastodon

@skinnylatte In my part of the world, it’s something in what a Russian subculture called ‘gopniki’ are pros 😅

@skinnylatte OK, my @agnese is correcting me. She says that the gopnik squat is an easy game, and completely different from the Asian one, which she would never be able to do.

@rolle Hmm, @mike and his folks are definitely writing a lot about hockey.

@rolle @mike And! @saramontour is posting about the W/NBA (from her @threads account—but let’s assume that’s almost the same).

@mmasnick.bsky.social I hope you remember when you said Bluesky's API couldn’t be shut down because it’s decentralized. Well, here we are — it’s possible, at least for technical reasons. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://snarfed.org/2024-11-21_54148

@mmasnick.bsky.social My sympathy goes out to your tech team, but please, in the future, drop the nonsense about AT being the protocol for a decentralized social web.

@mmasnick.bsky.social That said, credit where it’s due — you’ve accomplished big things, helped folks migrate from Twitter, and shown Meta how things should be done.

@mmasnick.bsky.social What else — I really hope you or someone else (looking at you, @bnewbold 😉) will apologize to @evan. Back when he’d had enough of the nonsense about AT, you tried to paint him as the bad guy.
