Big day for the fediverse

Major news in the #fediverse: #Mastodon becomes a non-profit ; and Instagram replacement #pixelfed , which is seeing a big surge in membership as people flee Meta, launches mobile apps.

And while we're on the subject, let me point to Loops, a fediverse alternative to TikTok which is just now getting off the ground.

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.

Jasper Coussell

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.

I'm starting to get the hang of things here. Mobile site is quite user friendly so that's good. Still not sure how to remove the dislike option from my posts (I don't care if someone doesn't like what I say -lol!) or how to create different types of friends lists. Eventually I'll work that out. Now if I can convince my FB friends that it's worth the learning curve to try it out over here. πŸ™Œ

I'm not sure where the OP went from the guy who was having trouble navigating Friendica, but I thought I'd post this link to a YT series that has been helpful to me in setting up. This is part one of a six part series - the videos are relatively short, but explain a lot.
