I am now 3 hours and one fatal error message into trying to migrate to a new instance. Granted, I am trying to blog the process as I go so that is taking the whole process longer than expected. But I am now at the "is this really worth it?" stage.

Content warning:Champions League potential spoiler

This entire Manchester City Real Madrid series has been bonkers. Just total bonkers.

Also, here is another reason to love the CW option. I am a soccer/football fan and I don't know how many times I have inadvertently popped onto social media and stumbled on a sports spoiler for a game that I am recording to watch later.

Lovely walk into the office today, although I hope there are others coming in because I forgot my keys. Clearly I am not in the "going to the office groove" just yet.

"Ultimately, truly public spaces cannot be for sale. If Musks’ attempt to buy Twitter should teach us one thing it is that democratic societies must invest into truly public spaces that are not subject to centralised ownership. We need a new type of public institution that distributes the provision of interoperable public spaces across a wide spectrum of public institutions, civic initiatives and ultimately gives their contributors a stake in their governance." https://openfuture.eu/blog/truly-public-spaces-cannot-be-for-sale/

"A conceptualization of digital media literacy that focuses solely on technical skills problematically individualizes the issue and frames users as passive consumers of the internet. This has significant consequences for people and communities across Canada whose quality of life and civic engagement depends on being able to critically navigate networked technologies."

Was thinking on the weekend of how my use of Twitter & Mastodon will likely evolve in parallel.

There are still many organizations that I follow on Twitter that provide useful content. Those orgs are not on Mastodon & I don't want to lose those sources of info.

Mastodon, on the other hand, has been much more about person to person connections.

I can see my use of Twitter evolving to be primarily consumption based while Mastodon will be contributions & conversations.

I have re-enabled the @EdTechBot which is a bit I created a few years ago that monitors a list of blogs about EdTech that I follow & auto-posts to Mastodon whenever the author publishes a new post.
