A little over 6 years ago, Eugen Rochko @Gargron talks about his background and the creation of Mastodon on our "Visions Under Construction" podcast. VUC ran from 2007 to 2019. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjFndOGVpTU
If you are new to the #Fediverse network (inaccurately called #Mastodon network) and looking for end-user apps for mobile and desktop, check this #PublicDomain list:
#t2pub Morning everyone from a rather damp and soggy Edinburgh Scotland on a Sunday waves have a good one. A small bit of advice I managed to get Megalodon for Mastodon on my Pixel working if you have a Android I recommend this app as I've turned the interface purple similar to how T2 was not calling it Pebble never liked that name.
How are other pebblers finding the fediverse?
Have you been looking about to add to your circle of friendly people?
What do you think/feel about Gabor's instance suggestion? #t2pub
Trick-or-Treat is the tuxie, who appeared on our doorstep as a 6-month-old trickster Oct 30 one year, made himself at home, pulled my older cat out of grieving for his big brother, and never left. I have lived with many strange cats but Trick was probably the strangest, most reckless, and most friendly and extroverted, I ever met. Somehow we protected him from himself for 16 years.
Cory-Bear is the house panther behind him, much younger. He was orphaned at 2 weeks, came to us a few days later, and we were later told he wasn't adoptable because he was developing slowly and he was black. We adopted him. He was my unofficial emotional support animal and my baby, and over a year and a half later, I still feel the hole where he was. But, despite some chronic allergy and neuro issues, he had 13 years of being loved and spoiled!

@Jiriki@prysmcat@MLISrevenge I just created a List called Pebblers and added all the Pebblers I'm following to the list. That way I just need to go to the Pebblers list feed to read their posts, whether they're tagged with #t2pub or not. Not ideal but works for me.
This site really is driving me nuts, I don't know what I'm doing, so I'm going to disappear for a bit to read the Fedi.tips website that @MLISrevenge recommended.
@prysmcat@cloudhopper@MLISrevenge
The Fedi.Tips website is very helpful. I should get up to speed within a couple of days. I guess a benefit of its clunkiness is that people who just want to use social sites for a fight won't be bothered to work it out 😀 #T2pub
#T2Pub Ah, there it is. I knew I had things to say about T2/Pebble. I just needed to wait for them to ferment enough. Off to my blog to see if I can condense it into a readable form. Stay tuned, I'll let you know.
I have readers waiting for me to finish my next story but I don't think this will take long. All the real work's already done, somewhere in the back of my head.
I know it's getting glitchy over there and a lot of people are leaving early, but I'll be there until the doors close and the lights go out.
