After *heavy* consideration, I've decided to leave Fosstodon and move to Hachyderm.
Short version:
Given public sentiment I think it will be easier for me (personally) in the long run if I make a change.

@nprofile…d7zw @nprofile…4acq Assuming you're talking about the mod politics drama... FWIW I asked about this on the fosstodon supporters' chat last night and received a nice thoughtful reply from the mod in question. While I don't share his politics he did have reassuring things to say about the fosstodon moderation process and also shared that he has stepped down. So he is no longer one of the fosstodon mods.

@nprofile…6kmp Great read, and a helpful history lesson for me. I'm also enjoying working through your Ska post from 2023. 🎺

"Artisans Cooperative" ( @npub1a8v…60mr )
It's like #Etsy, but with actual #handmade goods from actual small artisans. Plus, it's cooperatively owned by the artisans themselves. Delightful.
My holiday $$ will be spent here for sure!
