I’m almost never on Twitter, for the usual reasons. Instead, you can find here at the following places: Best bets: Mastodon: @mrawdon@sfba.social Bluesky: mrawdon.bluesky.social Blog: fascinationplace.org Sometimes: Discord: MrAwdon#8150 Dreamwidth: rawdon

That was rather cathartic. I deleted all of my lists as well. If Twitter ever comes back from being a fascist mouthpiece I’ll have some rebuilding to do, but I doubt that will happen, not for a decade anyway.

I think it’s time to unfollow most people here. If you want me to follow you, set up an account on Bluesky or Mastodon.

Anyway, maybe time to update my pinned post to better reflect where folks here can find me, if they want to.

There are certainly some people here whom I miss seeing post regularly, and I wish they’d set up camp on #Mastodon or #Bluesky so I could do so. They don’t have to be *only* there - I know many folks who are on multiple services - but being only here means I don’t see them.

Popped in here for the first time in quite a while just to see how some people I follow are doing on the #MagicTheGathering Pro Tour at #MagicConChicago. Since much of the Magic community somehow is still here and I’m, well, not.

I know a lot of creators are here for good reasons (because lots of other people are still here too), but it’s getting to the point that I feel strongly enough about this that it’s time to vote with my dollars.

I know my opinion will not move the needle at all, but I’m thinking of ending my financial support (e.g., on Patreon) of creators who are still active here without having at least an equal presence on another social platform. (Possibly excluding Threads.)

I don’t really post on this hellsite anymore, but I figured I should tweet my journal entry appreciating a couple of online artists whose work I recently caught up on and really enjoy: fascinationplace.org/2023/09/19/eve… Especially since both of them are here! @_pocketss @saintmonstre

Dearest fellow squids, The time has come for us to make a fond fare-whale to Twitter/X for now. But never fear, you can follow us on more socials than here! We’ll keep you up to date on all things Ocean™ and Aquarium wherever you go.

You’ll find most of my nonsense on Mastodon, including live posting of watching #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds (a couple of really good episodes this season) and occasional #AudioDrama and #MagicTheGathering chatter.

I posted a new journal entry last night, but I’m no longer announcing them here because I’m basically not here anymore. Please follow me on other sites (see my pinned post) if you want to keep up with that and my other nonsense. (Or use an RSS reader!)

@RyanHigginsRyan Enshittification of Twitter reaching critical mass. Time to head to Mastodon!

@Comrade_Bullski Mastodon has been the stickiest site for me so far. Especially when using Ivory as a client on macOS and iOS. Bluesky has some promise, but is really still in beta (or maybe more accurately late alpha).

Alright folks, I think this is it. Taking suggestions on where I can move my primary posting. I've made accounts pretty much everywhere already. Also if you are really fond of one my threads I suggest you back it up now. i have all of them but won't have them back up soon

@mistermetronome @lordtupperware Ethan’s face when Wizards prints an 11th Companion.

@lordtupperware This is what I imagine your face looks like every time you troll me about Vanquish the Weak in chat

Not sure if they’re casting the next Bond villain, but I think this is my audition tape

@Top8Games Lots of Aviation recipes say that the crème de violette is optional, and they are all lying.

Ding dong, the witch is dead. Burn in hell, Pat Robertson. The world is better for your death.
