Haha yeah it’s weird how NOT drinking is weird. I couldn’t care less what other people do, nor what they think of me; drinking is just no longer appealing to me

No idea why you got downvoted so bad, I guess I did have the benefit of your edit when I read your reply.

I don’t drink

https://www.visionexpress.com/eye-health/how-to-clean-your-glasses seems to point to fingers, dry with a lint free cloth?

Had? I hope you’re ok.

Definitely this. I run a home lab, six servers, and I use Synology Photos because it’s so much better than the self hosted alternatives.

If you’re talking about a SimpleLogin, you CAN email from it. I forget the exact terminology (I can check if you need) but you can generate a forward address that you email and the receiver (Spotify) will see it as If you have emailed from your forwarding address.

Unsure if your asking seriously (if not, whooosh to me), but it’s an open source alternative to Plex.

Plex is a media server that you run to host your TV shows and movies. Think of a self-hosted Netflix.

It doesn’t say you only breathe once every two minutes, though.

You just reset the timer more frequently than once every two minutes. It doesn’t change the fact you only have two minutes from each breath.

This could have just as easily been on the dadjokes community.

I didn’t know I needed this word, but I definitely do.

I did end up creating an account, but I’m not sure about posting my handle here as I want to keep the things separate (especially as I’m using my name on mastodon).

Aha! Sounds like we just have different definitions of “content creator”, that just sounds like a normal account to me.

This was probably just me confusing things =]. I used to post all my blog posts etc on Twitter, but I have no intention of doing that on Mastodon. I didn’t spend enough time ensuring there was a distinction between the two platforms.

Fyi it’s also a custom to make an intro post when you join, tag it with #introduction and just let people know what to expect from your account. Load it up with the relevant tags so people watching them find your account, it’s usually a good way to kick things off and get some initial followers.

Ah ok, thanks! I have already started posting but I’ll do that anyway. Thanks :)

I’m not interested in promoting or advertising. The vast majority of my tweets where just sharing random things I came across while working, or reminders when I encounter gotchas (e.g. slices as function parameters in Go).

Being completely honest, not overly interested in meeting people either. I’ll give it a few months and see how it goes :)

Thanks! Maybe I’ll give it a go then!

Is mastodon worth signing up for, as a content creator?

I used to be a pretty avid tweeter - I’d post random things related to my job (software engineer), like gotchas I encountered, new articles I’d written etc etc, but I left Twitter when a certain somebody took over.

I’m not bothered about a large following, but I did enjoy randomly helping people that would see my tweets and fix their issue / help with the thing they were working on.

This is exactly the reason neither of my kids have a single picture online (to my knowledge).

It’s not up to me. When they are old enough, they can decide. Until then, I’ll do damn hardest to keep it away.
