“Yeah, so, I’ve been on Mastodon since the early days. Yeah. 5th November. It was so different then. More of a chilled out vibe. Different now, of course. All these Twitter dudes getting angsty. Yeah, these are my own dreads.”

In solidarity with the employees of #Twitter who have been locked out of the office I am locking myself out of Twitter for the weekend and will be Mastodon only. This may well hasten the transition from dual citizenship!

Two things:

1. I have tried to verify my Mastodon profile by putting a link to my blog site. Both links seem to be working but it doesn't seem to be verifying - and I have exhausted my technical knowledge.

2. I must stop fiddling around with websites - I have four sermons to write this week!

Watching the bin-fire that is #Twitter makes me a bit sad, because I invested a lot of time ithere but, unless things change quickly it looks doomed.

Having said that, it is joyful getting to know this place and I'm glad that #FollowBackFriday is a thing here - would love to re-grow a new community.

Happy to chat about #faith #politics #boats #photography anything really.
