After 15+ years of using Twitter, I am moving to a self-hosted, federated ActivityPub-based microblog. Too many buzzwords? They all mean something and something concrete. From now on, Twitter will be secondary, and the primary post will be on @[email protected]. If you are on Mastadon or any other ActivityPub compatible server, search for @[email protected] and follow me. I intend to follow everyone back in the initial period.
