Due to issues with my instance I've lost almost all my follows/followers.

This was not done on purpose and if it affected you, I'm sorry! Please re-follow and/or let me know so I can follow you again.

🐘 If you tried Mastodon and you "got bored" quickly, you were using it wrong.

Here's how to fix it: https://cfenollosa.com/blog/you-may-be-using-mastodon-wrong.html

¿Has probado Mastodon y vas un poco perdido, te aburre, tienes pocos contactos?

✋🏼 STOP 🛑

¡Lo estás usando mal!

Déjame que te lo explique

This has been a real letdown and the situation has not improved, I keep losing connections.

Unfortunately I am throwing the towel. I will be abandoning this instance and also Mastodon for the time being. I'd like to set up a new account but I just don't have the time or energy right now.

It makes me sad to lose the friends I made along the way.

Do you remember the guy who played The Imperial March with a couple of floppy drives? Well he's back to leave all of us speechless. I want so bad to play Monkey Island using this as the MIDI.

It's what the title says. Great write-up with a cute ending. Now I want one.

@tbn97 hey, the latest mp3 on the archives is a bit messed up, as if the audio was sliced and mixed up with another program.

Just wanted to let you know

If you feel like your Google searches are less and less effective, you are not alone.

Moxie (founder of Signal) writes about "web3" and, boy oh boy, bullets flying all over the room.

Please take ten minutes of your day to read it; you'll learn something, and you'll be better prepared to evaluate random comments talking about NFTs and "web3"
