I come out to see that the marvelous @lisamelton@mastodon.social gave it a boost! Thank you Lisa!

Then I went to check on my VPS and it is showing:

load average: 0.07, 0.05, 0.05

So the fediverse has has BookWyrm, do we have anything to review movies and series? (Does BookWyrm allow for that?)

#fediverse #bookWyrm #movies

It's amazing to see #Mastodon and the #Fediverse recommended more but in turn Bluesky is also named as a "good alternative"

I would like to argue it's not;

If the company behind Bsky decides to stop and shut down their services, your self-hosted PDS can't do anything anymore without all infrastructure needed

Ofc one could self-host this but this is a true nightmare and far from a good solution

So yeah, I feel moving to Bluesky is just moving the problem, it's not a solution

This can include anything that posts and fully interacts with the fediverse, including, but not limited to, mastodon, glitch, hometown, gotosocial, snac, honk, pixelfed, microblog, loops, and lemmy.

Don't include non-extant accounts or instances, obviously. ;)

Has Retro Gaiden achieved visual perfection?!

This #Mastodon server is the result of 2 years of visual tweaks and improvements. There is nothing that looks like it on the #Fediverse!

In the near future I'll be setting things into motion to bring more retro enthusiasts here and make RG their fedi-home

Owl Sun Swirl by Lisa S. Baker A luminous portrait of an owl surrounded by soft green, yellow, and golden tones, with gentle circular movement that gives the composition a warm and radiant feel. Layered brushwork and rich texture create a painterly sense of depth, while the owl's calm, focused expression keeps the piece grounded and serene. The blend of earthy greens and glowing light gives the artwork a balanced, natural beauty with a subtle sense of wonder.
