Wow. It's official. It has been a year since I discovered #Mastodon and the #fediverse. I still have a bit of that 1990s web feeling of pure, self directed, discovery. It is why this place is conpelling. I am also so grateful for having connected with such a great group of new friends.

This year I *will* convince more people to come here and stay and I will build places for people to do that. Plans are already in the works. I want my real life community in #PortAlberni and #VancouverIsland and #BC to discover this place. I want it to be the place for immediate news to appear on, for government orgs to post updates, for people to rely on.

The #OpenSocialWeb with #ActivityPub is the future of social interaction. Billionaires have had their time. It's our time now.
