I&#39;m presuming followers/followed go with you?<br/><br/>Any advice for a relative fediverse novice would be greatly appreciated! 2024-08-24T15:09:16Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv4punzrtsaetzkel2mm3p6me7czvxp356tvx556j8s5vqsjz8wvczyp3akfc4pgcmzjyy62jzplmrxkeaykndmatsex8zdfuqh78ldrgcyrv4569 Someone called <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1m8htq7qtztszsssywu922n395s8n5exhdt0r5ug297zk0qzn7nqsc2gvzn" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Antoniogiulio</span> (<span class="italic">npub1m8h…gvzn</span>)</a></span> has stolen my introductory toot.

It also feels less passive, as if we&#39;re shaping our own community not having it moulded by algorithms or owners.<br/><br/>My original intention was to leave my X account with a link here but I think even doing that means some form of accommodation with the platform and what it stands for. So I went on today to deactivate. <br/><br/>I&#39;m so glad there&#39;s an alternative with a very different ethos. 2024-08-09T14:24:08Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvf5wecvz4kmhlyqf0dp6wed8zt0ld5ymaax7r5fpaq5v4ge4ekeczyp3akfc4pgcmzjyy62jzplmrxkeaykndmatsex8zdfuqh78ldrgcya0d2p2 Starting to see a few of these posts from academics with significant Twitter/X followings.

My parents inherited it in the 1970s and had it reupholstered in the 80s.<br/><br/>They passed it on to us when we bought our first house in the late 90s. It&#39;s been looking very jaded and has lived under throws for decades. <br/><br/>I&#39;ve finally got round to having it reupholstered and it was delivered home this evening. I&#39;m really happy with the results.<br/><br/>It&#39;s the chair I learned to read in sat on my mum&#39;s knee after being a reluctant reader.<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/916/859/892/834/133/original/815b40700561f9b6.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/916/860/531/052/688/original/3910d0c04ac5d31e.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-06T20:08:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstmm3tjxtz4grp6tvx7euz473qesedy5wx6568uvzn0zgvhalrv6gzyp3akfc4pgcmzjyy62jzplmrxkeaykndmatsex8zdfuqh78ldrgcy8yx6sz Hey everyone!<br/><br/>Thanks so much for all the kind welcomes and follows.
