So much broken… I think what I want to work most on is just bringing more control to ordinary people.
Because all control is just completely lost.
But that mountain is looking mighty high.
The current growth of the Fediverse is the most excitement I’ve felt in a while. But I wonder how long it will last.
⚠️ Client frustration rant
@babumenos From a strict perspective I could likely argue that it isn't what they hired me for. From a sharing knowledge perspective (which is my passion) I always want try and help. But given my frustration I should likely be more clear about asking what it really is they're after.
@gustav Jag skrattade mer än jag borde åt detta.
⚠️ Client frustration rant
@rrinaldi I've learned not to blame the clients but rather the circumstances. Still frustrating. I feel you.

@richbayliss This is likely what will happen. 😅

@Beantin This is eerily true.
@hans 😂
@teachpaperless Nope. It will however include your replies unless you mark them as unlisted.
(like I did with this one)
⚠️ Client frustration rant
A many-years client contract is ending in December. A person on the client side has booked a meeting for skills transfer of the making of video tutorials I sometimes help them with.
Sure, I will convey 3 years of studying communication science and 10 years of video creation in, how much time did you have for this, oh yeah: 45 minutes.
Also, you do not have access to, nor the budget to procure, any of the tools? Excellent.
You can tell how motivated I am right now…
@pmmueller Thank you for your kind words and for sharing Peter.
⚠️ self-care
I have this weird enormous sense of responsibility that kicks in when I know I am in a position to help people.
So just this morning I was looking at possibilities to build a Mastodon app.
Need to slap myself to get out of these delusions sometimes, before they consume me.
Helping is great but I need to better gauge my own limits.
And perhaps turn my attention to paying clients this week. 😬
⚠️ self-care
This past weekend my intent was to take a tech break. That didn’t go well. There were too many questions that “needed” answering.
Obviously I have a huge fear of letting people down or not responding in time.
This fabricated sense of urgency in communication can be harmful, I know.
I’ve applied a mindset for email of not needing to respond the same day.
Still some work in applying the same mindset to social media. Why I left those other platforms wasn’t just about algorithms...
@stephen_dryden Excellent, thanks for the feedback Stephen.
The source of that image is this blog post of mine:

Sadly someone has cropped out my references in the footer of the image. Didn’t take long for content to start spreading without source references, even on Mastodon. 😅
Thank you. Seen several people mention them on here now and I hadn't heard of them before.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks! Looking at some other forums Gandi came up as well. 🙏
Here’s an Indieweb question.
If you were recommending someone buy a domain name, what registrar would you direct them to, and why?
Preferably one that can set them up with a landing page as well, to get them started as smoothly as possible.
Another aspect is ease-of-use of any control panel that they offer.

@trwnh In the backlog at the bottom of the post I've written a reminder to draw a line from GNU social to OStatus :)
@aral Happy birthday!! 🎂 Thanks for all your work on making the internet a more dignified space. Have a restful day. 😊
