Decided to get the BlueSky bridge set up on this account. It's on my personal single-user instance, so no side-effects to worry about. Let's see how it goes.

I made a webpage that lets you compare different translations of the #Dao de jing / #Tao te ching

None of the usual Mastodon apps work with microblog.pub (as it doesn't implement the Mastodon API), but posting from Indiepass seems to work. Or rather, if you're seeing this post that means it worked.

Our stopped clock technology is still in its infancy, but it's already reached an accuracy rate of two or more times per day, and there's no reason for us to believe that won't improve dramatically in the future

God, the number of techbros here who are confident in their ability to resist targeted attacks from sophisticated national intelligence agencies is terrifying, but also explains a lot about why Silicon Valley is the way it is.
The neat thing about microblog.pub is that it supports long-form articles as well, so I'll probably start consolidating a bunch of my old articles on here as well. And who knowns, maybe I'll even write some new ones.
The import of my follows seems to be mostly finished. Lost about 40 in the process. Probably a bunch from old instances that disappeared at some point in the last seven years. Maybe also still a bunch of pending manual approvals that'll drip in over the next few days.
Alright, let try out another bit of Fediverse software! It's called microblog.pub and I was lucky enough to find it right before its flagship instance went down about a week ago.
