A small migration

Apparently I don’t trust a new social media tool until I’ve witnessed it having some kind of crisis.

At least that’s how it looks, because when I saw the announcement that the owner of the large Mastodon site I was squatting on, mastodon.lol, was shutting it down, I responded by moving to a different site and making my first post. (Don’t go there just to look at the post.) Feel free to follow me over there, though I’m not guaranteeing any good content. (I can’t keep up with the social media sites I’ve already got.)

Hey what about Dreamwidth?!

So Facebook is targeting certain individuals for not using their legal names, and as a result a lot of folks, especially queer folks, are signing up for other social media sites, especially ello.co. And some of them are saying they're going to go back to Livejournal. I signed up at ello too because I feel compelled to stake out my preferred name everywhere, and because a lot of my friends have joined. But I am really sad and annoyed that no one seems to be considering Dreamwidth as an alternative social media site. I trust Dreamwidth a lot more than ello.co (nothing against them, but I don't know the people running it) and more than LiveJournal (although I'm still cross-posting to LiveJournal).
