@nekoewen When the new logo first started showing up on cars, I thought it was some new make of car abbreviated ᴋᴎ

I'm honestly proud of myself for such an unhinged looking selfie. I hope this becomes the first picture people see when they Google my name.

@halcy Thanks for letting me know.

I guess I would revise that to:

<instance name> inurl:/about mastodon

If you want to find out where a Mastodon instance is silenced/suspended, you can use this useful Google search string:

<instance domain> inurl:/about/more

where <instance domain> is the root domain of the instance you are checking.

You will get results from instances that have silenced/suspended the instance you are searching for, minus those with strict robot.txt or obfuscated domain names in the block list.

An informal measure of instance quality.

@fluffy I moved here 9 years ago, and aside from the awful cost of housing, I'd never want to live anywhere else!

The city has an incredible cultural scene, and we're surrounded by natural beauty!

@fluffy Oh yeah, I'm in Seattle, so I don't even have to use the Internet for that one.

@leo Some of the big players like Libsyn platform violent Neo-Nazi podcasts. Don't give them your business!

Mastodon is my new home, but if you want to follow me elsewhere, check out https://breakdecks.com

I am also interested in any Internet Radio stations people might recommend to me. I love independant radio!
