Instead of posting stuff on #Twitter and then having a bot or something link it here, why not post a #Toot here and then have a bot crosspost it to Twitter? That way we get the original post and people on #Birdsite get to say, "Hey, what's this #Fediverse stuff I'm seeing all the time now?"

Being a #programmer and generally really knowledgeable about #technology = people won't listen to you about tech.

Being a medical doctor = people WILL listen to you about tech.

Hmm, #boosting my own #toots from the server I abandoned is probably going to just be confusing, especially when I'm using the same profile picture.

I wish there was a way to #export my #posts / #toots when switching #servers / #instances but I understand that might not be ideal for profiles that have thousands of toots.

Well, I ran a #Mastodon #instance of my own for a bit, but in the end decided I didn't really want to spend the time doing maintenance on something when #mastodon.social already has a pretty great setup. And really, they are already #blocking the #servers I would have eventually ended up blocking anyway.

@dsoft I saw your Google Play Store review. Just an FYI, you can add multiple accounts by tapping and holding on your profile picture and selecting "Add account".

Really, #Facebook, you sound super butthurt over having to abandon your grand worldwide face database. "The Face Recognition setting is no longer available and the experiences it made possible have been disabled." Oh boo-hoo. We won't be able to have those "experiences" anymore.
