📣 I wrote a new blog post!
Mastodon for #Twitter Escapees
https://dramsch.net/articles/mastodon-for-twitter-escapees/
Basically a short intro about the platform from someone that isn't deep in the #fediverse and just making sense of things.
Maybe it helps someone else from the #TwitterMigration?
I wanted to host my own personal Mastodon because my online identity should be in the hands of me instead of a platform and its leadership. Mastodon Federation seems to be working way better since the last time I gave it a try. Let's see how much of an operation burden this will become in the long term.
Ok, das habe ich anscheinend recht gut im Gespür.
Und ich gebs zu: Ich habe viele Twitter-User geblockt...
Something to note: if you are setting up a Mastodon account, even as a fallback:
LIST YOUR MASTODON ADDRESS IN YOUR TWITTER BIO.
There are scraper tools your followers can use that check their follows and import any that have a Mastodon address in the bio.
Every little helps.
Currently, I'm pretty interested in mlgan. #ml #gan. And experimenting a bit.
M current job is try to implement something like Chernoff faces to my own photo.
Idea: I have a lot of processes to monitor, i sum them up with a Chernoff face every morning. It's good but i want to use real photo for this.
If anyone is interested I'd like to share more
Another useful bit of #Fediverse lore of use to the #TwitterMigration of people who are #NewHere is this terrific 28-minute presentation by Derek Caelin at ActivityPub Conference 2020 on what happens when wingnuts start spreading hate in our space.
I found it pretty eye-opening, myself:

Highly recommend pruvisto.org/debirdify for locating your #twitter follows on #Mastodon. #TwitterMigration
