@pete Thanks. No troubles at all. But I’m also ”cheating” and using Cloudron to help me install the app and keep it updated. :)

@Sandra This sounds really good. I have to try Tomboy-ng now
⚠️ Mass shootings
I don’t like to talk about these happenings but I sometimes I also think we have to.
The point I want to emphasise again today is from my post in 2019: assuming that shooters are mentally ill can be stigmatising and dangerous. The facts tell a different story.
The harmful myth of mentally ill shooters in the USA

Have now started up my own server (VPS) and moved both my Mastodon accounts here, two Ghost blogs and also created a Pixelfed instance for my cartoon. Having loads of fun with this actually! And feeling empowered.
@wildexploits will post here and on https://pix.xbm.se/wildexploits
@helenaroth 😊 Should have worked yesterday. I just migrated this morning.
Migrating my account to my own VPS, which means that my instance name just slightly changed (3 letters shorter 😅). Follows and Followers are intact.
My old posts will live on for a couple months at their old permalinks.

@augmentedrobot Cool! So you created an extra account there? :) I need to follow the right account!
↪ Replying to @augmentedrobot
@augmentedrobot Haha cool. Yes, this is my third time trying Mastodon but the small instances I joined previously are dead now 😅 Having my own instance truly feels like the way to go for me now.
@augmentedrobot Followed you now :)

@HERO_Respondi Just hope you noted that you had to write your join request in Swedish ;)
↪ Replying to @HERO_Respondi
@HERO_Respondi Very valid questions. If you don't know that you'll stay, maybe join mastodon.se to begin with, before you invest money. You can always create a Tankespjärn one later and move the account there. Some people regularly move between instances.
@HERO_Respondi And when you move your account to another instance you can maintain follows/followers.

@obeka Ja man ska nog undvika någon av apparna första gången man skapar konto. :)

@ethicsconsult Hopefully I'll find time to blog, but in short I'm finding other people there, some who have been there for years and some who are just "moving in". Totally different vibe, giving me that nostalgic feeling of early internet where people were curious together. Very respectful.

@beantin @uxpodcast This is true. Part of it is also seeing how the people I follow are influenced by algorithms, itself contributing how they engage on the platform. My hypothesis is that you have to be really well organised, aware and in control to make good use of lists.
Alla borde lyssna mer på Maries värdefulla råd.

@Loukas_RS 1. Default timeline, non-chronological and designed to promote engagement/enragement
2. My likes influencing what others see, (meaning my behavior towards them is affected)
3. Others are also affected by the algorithm, which means they behave differently than they otherwise would
↪ Replying to @tsvenson
@tsvenson This is fair. A restart is likely a big contributor as well. But the sense is that most people on here are affected by algorithms meaning they behave differently than they otherwise would. Including myself.
