  1. Als Teenie war ich einfach zu hochkultur-überangepasst (wahrscheinlich ganz typisch für Bildungsaufsteiger), deswegen bin ich noch nicht mal auf die Idee gekommen, Fan Art zu machen. Nun, Jahrzehnte Erfahrung mit diesem Kultur-Ding später, bin ich alt genug dafür. Hier meine Fan Art zu dem sehr tollen #Fantasy #Roman #TheUnbalancing von #RBLemberg , den ich gerade gelesen habe. Das Universum dort heißt das #birdverse , die Schöpfungsgöttin ist Bird.

  2. "Some of them tried Mastodon early and gave up quickly."

    A perception is that #Mastodon is more fractured ... that communities haven't matured to the extent that enables a less intentional user to sense their 'connectedness.'

    Example: Here, my feed is much more filtered here than it was in the #birdverse.

    That's either a good thing or leaves one with a sense of isolation.

    Not seeing the yuck, affects some folk's confidence - "What am I missing." So they wander back to peek, and stay.

  3. Genuinely hope that #NPR will join us here on #Mastodon

    More #News agencies need to abandon the economic feudalism that is corporate social media - stop billionaires from profiting by freeing their intellectual products from the #birdverse.

    Yeah, I know. My #facebutt departure was in 2020, for all of the usual reasons and then some. Of 650 'friends' *just one* bothered to look me up and ask WTFF?

    *true story.

    Rats. But I don't miss that mess at all. Nor do I miss the #birdverse either.

    The issue is pandering to the lowest common denominator. The UX is designed for #doomscrolling entertainment and paid intercept conversion.

    #Birdverse monetized it. Cynicism weaponized it. Then ChatGPT came along and camouflaged originality.

    Discourse on centralized platforms? Ended in '22. Creators will abandon / be free of the economic feudalism that is commercial social media.

    #mastodon doesn't pander to the LCD. (...yet.)

  6. @Meldilorn So true...unfortunately many of those still left in the #birdverse seem to prefer clinging to the wreckage there rather than risk the leap into the next universe which we have both made. But then, like you, I remember Malacandra and Meldilorn. And Perelandra too...

  7. I am so happy that my novel THE UNBALANCING is nominated for Subjective Chaos Kind of Awards!

  8. I'm in this awesome Autostraddle list of books with #queer #autistic representation: autostraddle.com/eight-books-a

    One of my MCs is autistic (the word is not used in-world, it's secondary world fantasy, but this is very clear). The MC is also nonbinary and queer :)

    "I love how terrible Twitter is nowadays"

    Yup, it's disgusting:

    I hadn't been in my #birdverse account in a while. I don't have notifications going (turned 'em off long ago.)

    Popped in today. Surprised that trolls were engaging with tweets I sent, well... let's just say not recently. Like, a while ago.

    What's up with that? are folks #twitter has re-admitted busy searching hashtags to look for confrontation? Doom scrolling old threads?

    Blocking them seems futile.

    Hello! We joined on the same day and I see you have an impressive 5.2k followers. But you only follow 4 back? Perhaps you are still fully engaged in the #birdverse ? I have made the leap and now spend more of my time here because I find it infinitely rewarding. I do very much hope you will join us?

  11. We are always excited when one of our authors has a book launch with other presses as well!

    Please check out @rblemberg today (and all year round), for more on their fantasy collection Geometries of Belonging, out today from Fairwood Press!

    They will have a poetry memoir with us, Everything Thaws coming in February 🧊​

  16. After what happened to @kathygriffin I decided to rename by #birdverse user name to **Elong Tusk** in honor of my new home here in the #Fediverse … but also because the place seems be run by a petulant toddler 🙄

  17. In looking for mobile clients for Mastodon, I was surprised many had not been updated in a year. Tooot seemed to be the exception, and I’m loving it so far. It feels a little quirky, but I’m realizing it’s a good reflection of the platform ☺️

    I also suspect that the ongoing implosion of the #birdverse and mass exodus here may drive the devs to rev their apps — that can only be a win for us

    What exactly is an instance?

    Can you please do a small conceptual note on the basics of mastodon, especially it's differences from the #birdverse?
