tilde.zone is an order of magnitude smaller than indieweb.social (thousands of users vs. tens of thousands), so I plan to make note of how that affects the experience.

Once I've explored enough, I'll pick a place to settle down, so I may be back here!

Next stop on my instance tour, I'll be moving my main posting identity over to https://tilde.zone, where I already have @xian@tilde.zone set up and ready to go.

The Tildeverse community is also oriented toward independent creative types, harkening back to the earliest Linux-based web identity model using a ~username after a domain to shortcut to the public user folder of that username.

https://indieweb.social is a fantastic place with a really interesting set of local and federated timelines. I'm a longtime enthusiast...

https://indieweb.social is a fantastic place with a really interesting set of local and federated timelines.

I'm a longtime enthusiast of the independent web (going back to my "antiweb" days in the 90s, anti- commercialization, that was) so this a really good fit for me.

However, as I am still new to Mastodon and exploring the dynamics of instance size, after an initial stint on https://mstnd.social and a few great months, here, I am going to try migrating to a somewhat smaller host.

You know, I try to keep an open mind about things, but if you ask me there's something fishy about this Santos guy.

I think the band Boston is the missing link that I never talk about in my music development.

Isn't there a Nirvana song that exactly echoes "More Than a Feeling"?

mastodon geekitude

so masto.host opened the teller window a crack and i hopped right on that pipe and immediately set up a test sandbox personal playground instance at https://xianlandia.com and once I saw how smooth that went I went ahead and set up a new instance at https://ezone.fun where I will host folks I know who might find the mastodon learning curve still a bit steep or worry about regretting their choice of instance.

if they choose ezone.fun I can guarantee they will regret it!
