Well, because it seems there is sadly some mass migration going on in the #diaspora* part of the greater #fediverse. I just wanted to mention that there is a very nice site where you can write down all your (public) appearances in the #fediverse and #beyond.

I just recently took a deeper look at it because i wanted to thank the person behind the site and give a humble little donation for the service... And had to discover that he is actually on the #fediverse too.

tl;dr: <https://wheretofind.me/> provides a convenient way to create some virtual business card containing links to your most active public homes and profiles on the internet (and if you want, all the other ones too).

For example, you can look me up at <https://wheretofind.me/@hackbyte> or you can look up the owner of this service @kit 😷💉💉💉❄️ also listed as <https://wheretofind.me/@kit>

( I hope he has no problem with me mentioning him here.)

Please #reshare or #boost accordingly .. as i know, there are people actually wandering off the #fediverse at all .. and it would be sad losing them completely. ;)

I like the petty #internet

A few days ago someone at work started a moan about how #Facebook just encourages people to post whatever they had for breakfast (curiously enough, in #social-networking what was once 'the most important meal of the day' is a symbol of pettiness). I made a sound of agreement, then thought better of it. Surely the problem of Facebook/other social networking sites is that people don't write what they had for breakfast anymore? What I find so off-putting and irrelevant is the constant stream of memes, quizzes, chain games (that seemed to have stepped into the place of chain letters - remember those? Send this e-mail to seven people or you will die in seven days...) and cross-posting. With the latter, perhaps I'm too picky, but I tend to scroll over cross-posted material unless the person cross-posting has contributed at least a sentence or two of commentary. There are news aggregators, feeds and subscription lists all over the internet...on social networking, I want to know: why do you want to reshare this? What is your take on this? Do you want to discuss it? As to the 'breakfast' posts, I participate in social networking because people are interesting and I want to know about their lives, their thoughts, their breakfasts. Where personal posting goes wrong is where it adopts the techniques of companies that use social networking for #marketing: except here the marketed product is someone's life. That's when it all becomes a glossy boastfest, and the #breakfast is no longer a breakfast, but a marker of a perfect existence.
