  • While I agree with the article and a lot of comments, I am still active on my Mastodon account and I am enjoying it more than ever.

    Disclaimer: I’m a white male westerner working in IT. 😉

    A friend of mine works in linguistics and education. He was an avid Twitter user and has since migrated to Bluesky and Mastodon. He says, Mastodon is quite complex and clunky but on Bluesky there’s not much happening in his bubble.

    For me, the quality of the conversation and the regional character of my local instance is a big plus on Madison. On Lemmy, I read a lot on international and tech topics, but on Mastodon, the conversation is related more to my countries politics and my region.

    So, maybe they lost a lot of users. But the 14% that stayed are a good start for quite a vivid community.

    If anyone has questions on how to get something out of Mastodon, ask away or follow me here: [email protected].







  • Working on an IT project, too. A website relaunch for a local waste disposal company. We are running behind with coding, but so is the customer with adding content. But it’s gonna be a nice, beautiful site with lots of api connections and nifty tools for the end customer. It’s fun for me.


  • “I woke up and saw this new antivirus system on my desktop and I tried opening kaspersky but it was gone. So I had to look up what happened because I was literally having a mini heart attack that my desktop somehow had a virus which uninstalled kaspersky somehow,” one user said.

    To make things worse, while some users could uninstall UltraAV using the software’s uninstaller, those who tried removing it using uninstall apps saw it reinstalled after a reboot, causing further concerns about a potential malware infection.

    Oh my!
