mastodon.ar.al is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
This is my personal fediverse server.

We’re moving to a new city and the only community I can find for it is on .

So, as much as I don’t want to, I decide to make a Facebook account again just to access this community…

(This is why communities must not be locked behind the walled gardens of surveillance capitalists. But even if we create fedi/Small Web alternatives, we still need to let the existing ones know they exist somehow.)

…Anyway, long story short, I can’t – they’ve my name :)

O hai, Mark! :Wiseau:

@aral What terrible, overcomplicated onboarding - only tech nerds will use it. I'm sticking with Mastodon. 😉

@GlasWolf Yeah, right? ;P

(Seriously, though, looking at the absolute crap it started throwing at “my” timeline, I have no idea how people put up with that shit. Well, I do. They don’t know better. Because all Silicon Valley has funded has been the same shit.)

@aral Like you I have a Facebook burner account just to access a local group, and even the basic functionality and navigation are horrible. It's amazing how significant inertia is when it comes to this stuff.
