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

Raccoon seems nice, I've been trying it since I saw OPs post and remembered having seen something in F-droid next to Voyager (for Lemmy).
So far, the only issue I've found with Raccoon seems to be with notification settings. Although there is a setting labeled "check for notifications in background" (which implies a different behavior for foreground updates, when the app is opened), I discovered that the setting applies to both closed and in-app scenarios. I set it to pull notifications each 10 minutes (the smallest value in the drop-down menu), but I had to manually access the post list in order to see the new interactions. The "1" badge appeared over the notification icon a couple minutes later. For comparison, Tusky (for Mastodon) and Voyager update almost in a real time fashion when the app is open. I'm not sure if it's a Friendica limitation or a Raccoon limitation.
However, it's understandable that there are still things to be fixed, given that the project (on GitHub) is still about 5 months old (first commit was August 4th). It's an app with potential, especially given that it's possible to use it for Mastodon as well.
Edit: I'm fixing my typo "Raccoon" instead of "Racoon"
Uh.. hello!?
So I found this Friendica instance through the post "Meta Risks Mass Exodus: Is #HelloQuitMeta the Next Viral Movement?" (I saw the post being shared on Lemmy) and decided to sign up. Question is: how populated is here?
I've been hopping from platform to platform here in the fediverse, trying to find a good instance within a good platform... Mastodon, Lemmy, Pleroma, Mitra, Friendica... This is the second Friendica instance I'm trying, the first one was... devoid of social interaction. This is one of the reasons I've been keeping hopping between platforms and instances, you know...
A thing I like here in Friendica is the character limit and text formatting. Sometimes I write things (dark and occult poetry, philosophical thoughts, etc) and it doesn't fit the Mastodon's default 500 char limit... and Lemmy isn't focused on creative content.
I don't expect this profile to last long, maybe it lasts, I'm not sure. Time will tell... 🤷
----------
So, in the meantime, greetings, you can call me Daemon. I'm Brazilian. I used to be a developer (full-stack JS, Python, Shellscripting, etc). I'm philosophically nihilist. I'm spiritually syncretic (my closest "label" would be "Luciferian", although my devotion/worshiping isn't focused on Lucifer, I used to be more "Lilithian" (as in "worshiper of Lilith") a couple months ago, but sometimes my spirituality leans towards Thelema, sometimes it leans towards Umbanda... it's not a very definite/clear belief system, that of mine).
Deep down, I don't really fit nor like to fit labels and human definitions, so I don't feel fitting anything specific (that's lonely and all but... whatever). You can just call me Daemon and try to decipher the deep and multifaceted layers I sometimes bury within my texts... Because I do sometimes bury layers of meaning within my texts.

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) -

What I learned @ diaspora* is that using Tags are your friend.
e.g. #nederlands should get you a bit on the way

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?

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 🙈*
