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

@kawaiimiraclewitch If you're on an Android phone, I found Raccoon for Friendica on F-Droid. It seems to work pretty well so far.

@rob64 @fannybaws I tried that and the posts (multiple across various groups) never appeared.






Better write in English, I guess


I think I started in the wrong way by writing in Dutch. Think I will have more interaction by writing 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?
in reply to Ronald

"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) -

... but the easiest is probably just to add the translation below/above it
(I butchered it in Google Translate 🙈)

in reply to phle

Your translation is quite accurate!
I just should have posted an English meme. Much easier 😆
in reply to Ronald

What I learned @ diaspora* is that using Tags are your friend.

e.g. #nederlands should get you a bit on the way

in reply to phle

@phle @Ronald yep, hashtags work. You can then follow individual accounts. Diaspora accounts can be followed too, and if it isn't on the Fediverse but has RSS, just paste its address in the search bar, and it will fetch it for you.
in reply to phle

@phle Yes, you're right, of course. It's the same on Mastodon. And it's always kinda hard to start on a new platform.
in reply to Ronald

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? ... ".


in reply to Janeknuth

search a few hashtags of interest, save them in your feed, and you will find your tribe.


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?

in reply to Allison Moon 🌙 She Wanders Feral

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 🙈*




Een goed alternatief?


Ik ben al sinds 2014 weg van Facebook, maar nu de controversiële uitspraken van Zuck overal in het nieuws zijn vraag ik mij af of er eigenlijk een goed alternatief bestaat. Na lang zoeken ben ik hier terechtgekomen. Ik ben benieuwd of dit een goed alternatief is voor Facebook, al zal het hier ongetwijfeld nog erg stil zijn.
Ik heb ook een maston-account: @Ronald

Hello hello hello


Giving friendica another try. I'm quite established on Mastodon (whatever that means). Hope everyone is well.
in reply to Em-squared

@emsquared tbh, if you're already established on Mastodon I don't see any benefits that Friendica brings. I've been here a month, and have yet to find a reason to use the site. For me, it just feels like a worse version of Mastodon wrapped in a Facebook skin. YMMV.

Sunshine doesn't like this.

in reply to Em-squared

I think I already feel the same. I tried both Friendica and Hubzilla (the latter seems great but I found it a real steep learning curve) way back so curiosity made my try again. I'm pretty at home on Mastodon. No doubt my curiosity will reach a dead end here (I was never a FB user anyway). Hope you are well and best wishes.

Wolf Moon (I,for one will be howling like the...)


I'm in Scotland. What's the betting it'll be completely overcast? Hold on... "A weather front will move across Scotland on Monday, stalling across northern England on Monday night, bringing some patchy light rain and drizzle for central parts of the country." #Moon #WolfMoon #UK

Wicked!


We saw Wicked on New Year's Eve in the theater. It was excellent. I read the book years and years ago and liked it. The stage show, meh....I think because I read the book first. So when the film came out I was like, "meh". But everyone said it was good so, what the hell, I'll go. Glad I did! The scope and world of the story translates perfectly to the screen. And they are delving further into the source material (hence the two parts - this two hour, fourty-minute film is essentially what would be Act 1 of the stage production). Both leads are fantastic. Ariana Grande proves her worth as a versatile performer. Erivo is splendid as Elphaba - her "Defying Gravity" transition is a stunningly gorgeous few minutes of acting and filmmaking.

in reply to Helen Jojo Blackforest

We saw it last night, it feels like a worthy rendition to (admittedly very distant in my memory) the first part of the first book as well as spending a lot of time in homage to the musical. Adaptations are never easy to get right, and as I recall the back half of the book had some pacing issues so I'm interested in seeing how they grapple with that. At the same time I hope they don't make the mistake of trying to create a cinematic universe, it's just not something anyone has any appetite for anymore.


Und schon wieder ein Profil


Keine Sorge, wenn niemand mehr mitkommt. Ich probiere gerade aus, Bluesky und Fediverse zusammenzutüteln, damit ich nur noch eine Timeline befüllen muss.

Das dauert nun mal und ist auch mit Fehlschlägen verbunden. Seht es mir nach.

Komisch ist, dass bis auf einen Versuch alle meine anderen Versuche inzwischen weg sind. Weg, also... Weg. Auch die Registrierungsmails sind weg. Also ganz weg. Keine Ahnung, für mich ist es ja auch die sechste Stunde.

Na gut, ich fummle mal weiter. Vielleicht bin ich ja auch irgendwann mal fertig.






Hello #europeans in #fediverse,

When the threat of national encapsulation and isolation arises I'm Looping for the digital European society that proves Thema all wrong and shows that we have more in common than different.

This account is english only as I believe with all languages we support we've built us a bable tower. This makes things easier.
#babletowerfree

I'm interested in everything what brings us closer, connects us and sbows solidarity to each other.

May this be European wide rails, solidaric energy grid, IT independency, shared medication, army, EU Technical Relief, Trade Unions and other support, and of course the self confident stay in the NATO.
