Lol I wish Mastodon had a feature to make certain posts not visible to certain followers (read: I want to rant about leaving the Netherlands without my coworkers and boss seeing).

@Gina RIP Google+

@Gina Ive always used friendica starting in 2018 and its always had that option. Im always shocked as to what mastodon doesn't have and why i never bothered with it. Mastodon has the sexiest marketing, friendica is truely the best with the most features but there is a learning curve due to so many features and can be a little sluggish without a good admin. Hubzilla is a close second with similar features, but both aren't as easy to self host as mastodon, so like peertube has a lot less instances to choose from

@Gina I guess content in parentheses is hypothetical example

Also not sure if I should even long post about my intention to move abroad, since I'm on a tech focused server. Don't want to bother yall but it's also such a big theme in my life atm that I don't have much else to post about

@Gina I know exactly what you mean ^^

The good news: ActivityPub can do it. So it's just a matter of Mastodon as an implementation.

@Gina Al die twijfels over België…

@Gina Life is holistic though. Nobody is just tech. The same mind that is given to tech matters can also reflect on a widely eclectic range of subjects.

@Gina@fosstodon.org I know you're on Mastodon, but can I recommend you check out Bonfire? Bonfire has MANY ways of controlling your posts. They call them boundaries. I haven't done too much with them yet, but I'm with you on the feeling of wanting to keep work and my personal life/social network life separate.

@underseamonkey @Gina What they said! (Also, I love reading about this kind of stuff whenever you post it.)

Take a seat, my Dear.

Coffee? Tea?

What’s on your mind? I’ve time. Plenty of time.

@Gina I realized one day that Mastodon is a quieter network. But it's still a social network, and the people who come here are the same ones who were on other social networks.
That helped me understand that what I don't like is people.
Either you say everything without fear, or you don't publish anything. I, for example, ended up putting cats here to avoid talking about certain things and to silence my harsh opinions.

@Gina Why not. Plenty of it from US refugees.

If you're not happy with the country assigned to you at birth you should do something about it!

@Gina I think you should share whatever you want to share. You are a person, not a product. I'm interested in you as a person, not just a topic, and I'm sure others are too.

@Gina
None of us is only our job or our hobbies. Our lives are full of different things, and we should be talking about them when we want to.

Also, I'm sure that disliking the climate of central or northern Europe is not going to come as a major shock to anybody who's spent more than ten minutes there...

@Gina your boss notwithstanding, I think it's fine to talk about this on fosstodon. If people aren't interested in this important topic in your life, they could mute you for a little while. Personally, I don't mind hearing about the other things going on.

Andrew Graves

@Gina Well, you could do blogposts instead of Mastodon posts?

@Gina !

@graves I know, but there's something about blogposts that make it very unenjoyable for me to write them. I think it perfectionism, because it needs to somehow be a coherent story. A blogpost takes me on average 8 hrs to write. 🥲

Mastodon posts are much easier.
