Switching health insurance providers sucks.

America's entire healthcare system sucks.

I still don't have my maintenance meds because "it's a new prescription" so my Doctor needs to justify the prescription to the insurance company so they'll cover it.

Talk about bullshit.

I did at least get vaccinated for the flu and pneumonia.

Need to make an appt for the updated COVID booster.

Ugh.

@imgn Honestly I would just give it time. People are leaving and it takes time to unlearn old habits.

@FailForward @freemo @unamanic Yes. I've been looking forward to this since April.
It's only been a week, but it feels like a month, and yet I am giddy with excitement and laughing rather than wanting the experience to end. In short, watching Twitter die makes me feel like I'm a child again!

@amunizp @tcit @hugh Last I heard they turned off federation, and that means that you can't talk to them through ActivityPub, they can't talk to you, and the only thing that remains is old posts on some timelines.

I’m just waiting for someone to train an LLM exclusively on a religion’s sacred texts, and then market it as a way to converse with the associated deity or deities.

@tcit @hugh It was Gab. They have long since turned off ActivityPub, so there really shouldn't be a huge hurry to block them now, but the domain is gab.com IIANM.

I have 168 followers on Mastodon, that's roughly 3.5% of what I have on Twitter. Surely not the same audience, but it's been growing fast for the past days :)

@freemo It looks like a variation on italic, possibly a form designed specifically for the movie.

@slothrop Prior to my return to Twitter to show people the exit ramps, I mostly used Nitter. I also have my ViolentMonkey extension set up to disable that stupid login prompt if I'm logged out.

Of the two options, I'd most recommend Nitter.

Excellent piece on why "#FreeSpeech" on social media is an unsolvable problem. I've managed small social sites and mailing lists. Everything here is true.

My mother was interested in counter.social. I warned her away from it after digging up the story about how they broke off from Fediverse.
Anyone who deliberately lies like that, whether about open source licenses or any other subject, for something that self-serving and petty isn't trustworthy.
As for the other stuff they've done: can someone fill me in? I'd love to hear other people's stories about counter.social and the person who runs it.

I did some reading on the counter.social site. Turns out they had a bit of a spat with @Gargron over their geoblocking, and got instance blocked by mastodon.social and other instances who follow his blocklist. So they forked Mastodon and stripped out the federation code.

I remember when diaspora* got early traction back a decade+ ago, and being enthralled by the concept. When I learned about Friendica/GNU Social, decentralized social media felt like it was maturing. When Mastodon found its early footing, it started to feel inevitable.

I started my instance in 2017 and, even during the slow times, I never lost that feeling. The past two waves of birdsite exodus have really felt like the start of a new chapter in all of this, where the inevitable becomes reality.
