@stefan@stefanbohacek.online I think it's a little telling that the entire 'decentralized' network can go down but then I figure we might get similar headlines if mastodon.social went down

If you'd like to share a concise, beginner-friendly introduction to #Mastodon with your friends considering to leave X, give this a try!

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online It taught me about author tags too. Now worked out how to implement them in my blog hosted on Blogger.

@drfootleg Nice! If you ever want to write about how you did it, I'd love to link to it!

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online bsky is crashing a bit right now.

Truth be told, I am looking into adding bsky support to this software too but its too different and a lot of work

Thanks everyone for sharing this!

And mind you, I wrote this about Mastodon because that's what I have been using for the past nearly two years.

I also made https://jointhefediverse.net, but wanted to follow that up with what I have learned.

If anyone has a good, simple, non-technical guide for other platforms, please do share it, I would love to link to it!

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online make that 500,000. Twitter must have done something pretty unpopular
