Hello Folks!
Another Meta/Corporate Social Media escapee here. Nice to meet you all. Found this site from Lemmy, but remember hearing it years ago. Looking to find, use, and support community-driven open source media and sites. How? I'm not quite sure yet, going to figure it out as I go.
Love history, love genre fiction, and New York City (Let's Go Mets!). Hope everyone is well, and thanks for having me.

What happens when wildland fire reaches the city?
"Wildfire" is the word we tend to use when we talk about what Los Angeles has been dealing with the past week.
But Lori Moore-Merrell, the U.S. Fire Administrator for the Federal Emergency Management Agency used a different word, when she spoke to NPR this morning.She described a "conflagration." Saying they're not wildland fires with trees burning. They're structure to structure fire spread.
They may have started at the suburban fringe, but they didn't stay there. Which prompts a question: what happens when fire meets city?

Hello World
The mobile website interface seems rather clunky, so I might have to almost exclusively use this on desktop, and there’s no way I’ll be able to move family members off of Facebook and onto here since most of them aren’t all that tech literate…
Anyway, I’m Kira, I’m ‘weird’ and ‘mentally ill’ (read: queer and autistic with clinical anxiety and depression), have an ecletic yet childish array of interests and I’m gonna see how this place turns out - shoutout to @/l1vy.bsky.social for pushing this site into my radar

Better write in English, I guess
I have been on Mastodon for a long time (since 2016) and I'm still a daily used of the platform. I closed my Facebook account in 2014, but I'm looking for a replacement and this might be it. It's very quiet, though. But maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.
I will post a nice meme to attract some attention, sorry it's in Dutch, but I think it's easy to understand. I don't see a button for Alt-Text?

"Ik kan nederlands lezen" ... doesn't mean that I understand it, though. 👻
Hm. I'll give it a try (and we'll see how much Markdown I remember) -
the earth is heading for a warming of 2.6 degrees | what a strange life form appeared on this planet..

... but the easiest is probably just to add the translation below/above it
(I butchered it in Google Translate 🙈)
What I learned @ diaspora* is that using Tags are your friend.
e.g. #nederlands should get you a bit on the way
like this
Most of us ... or I, at least ?🤔? don't use hashtags in speech, so I easily forget to add them if I'm "away" for a bit.
Compared to diasp., at least I can add them on even after I've posted - on diaspora* I ended up with "oh ... should I post it, tagged, again? ... ".

What are we doing here?
So, I have a really bad case of upended circadian rhythms jet lag
Everything still feels surreal
Working on 🆕 nonMETA platform is more discombobulating than expected
So what do we think?
Do we like this space? Is it interesting, invigorating, friendly?
what are we thinking?

Personally, I've been quite a bit in the diaspora* sphere - actually more than in the Facebook sphere - but my plan is to pull the plug on Fb somewhat later this year, and I haven't got anyone from Fb to join me at diasp., but Friendica has Calendar events which (for me) is the only missing part that diasp. doesn't, so we'll see if I get people with me this time.
(Probably not, but ... oh, well.)
This space is, as with most "new (for me)" things, a bit confusing and disorienting - I think mainly "how does the different feeds work?" for now.
We'll see. Time will tell. For now, it's time to sleep. *proceeds to go comment on more posts 🙈*
