#HappyNewYear. This is the 4th New Year I've entered with the #Fediverse. It really feels like a town square or community center, just like social media is supposed to be like, imo.

Being homebound, when I log on to the Fediverse, it is me "going to town." I go with you to your concerts, I hike with you, walk the forests, read your poems and essays, and "feel" your cats purr. I expand my knowledge, learn different languages and cultures, and share in your hopes and distresses.

There's too many to @ and reply to with specific messages, and I appreciate that problem, so Happy New Year to all.
