#social media

In the '00s, we used to have lots of little websites with forums, chat rooms, and comment walls. Those seemed to gradually wither and die during the Social Media Years. I've been trying to find some again, but it's a struggle.

For the last 13 months, I have been operating a Mastodon (and later, glitch-soc) server. I’ve learned a lot in that time about both Mastodon (the software) and the fediverse as a whole.

There is a lot of Nuance involved, so I wanted to write everything I know down. This post will move seamlessly between social & technical matters because they each shape the other.

A couple weeks ago, I noticed I had gotten posting rights on Cohost.
