Day 01 of #ElSalvador series - Landing an airplane in a mountain:

#ElSalvador is a country with a reputation for #BitCoin and a storied past/present/future... it's a little more complicated for me as it's the origin story I grew up hearing about the family... But what parts of that story endure?

Figured this series is worth sharing with a #fediverse audience. Enjoy!

Noone likes to work with arrogant #developers :) Practice your #empathy! It is essential for effective #communication and #collaboration and helps to understand different perspectives. You can start from asking open-ended questions: Instead of making assumptions or jumping to conclusions.

@foxyjewishmama Pink & Blue lines this week. Last week of the year too:

@mgifford I've used Axe Dev Tools chrome extension before. It's not bad! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/axe-devtools-web-accessib/lhdoppojpmngadmnindnejefpokejbdd?hl=en-US

Womp womp... This is definitely a shift in the #connectedLearning space. Hard to tell if this is a good thing or not. Would love to hear any thoughts from the #ConnectedLearning or #CLX folks that have made the #twitterMigration #twexit.

@NicMakesStuff depending on your keyboard/OS - the Home key or control/command + up-arrow usually does the trick for me.

Alright so, no link previews when cross posting... That's ok. Here's my cat #Sidious for #caturday posts either way.

Meet my cat #Sidious! MIssed #caturday - making up for it today.

Also, trying out some cross-posting stuff with other #Fediverse apps.

After 1 week on #Mastodon, the biggest difference I notice compared to #Twitter is the way each network makes me feel.

Twitter:
Open, scroll…
“Why are people so horrible to each other?”

Mastodon:
Open, scroll…
“Wow! There are so many interesting people in the world! I want to know more of them.”

I sense being here is changing my perspective of social media. #TwitterMigration

So I just got a COVID booster….

[waits for incoming vitriol…]

Testing the vibes on Mastodon…

Opiniestuk van mij en @sandervdwaal @Waag in NRC met o. a. verwijzing naar #fediverse en #mastodon “We moeten zeker alles qua wetgeving en regelgeving uit de kast halen om de macht van Big Tech te breken. Maar om ons echt te ontworstelen aan deze dynamiek, zullen we aantrekkelijke, mooie en verantwoorde toepassingen moeten maken die kunnen concurreren met datgene wat we willen verbieden. “ https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2022/11/04/waar-blijft-de-europese-tiktok-a4147293

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration? Keep in mind, things aren't exactly the same as on #Twitter!

1. Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't help posts, they just let the Mastodon member who posted know you thought it was cool!

2. Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds!

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you boost 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

@tchambers thanks for the speedy onboarding! Stumbled in, but quickly am beginning to understand this new paradigm. #decentralized social media is pretty neat!

#introductions. #mastadonNoob #mastaN00b....?

Somehow I've got two @mastadon accounts... 🤷🏻‍♂️... the other one is @edgeriffs@mastodon.ie --- will these always be separate?
