I’ve yo-yo’d over the years between Things & Todoist - always seem to return to Todoist. It’s flexible, quick to add Tasks with natural language, and always being updated & improved. They’re also pretty discerning about adding new features, so it’s never felt like it suffers feature bloat ✌️

β€˜Zaika’ by Romy Gill is a great book - technically Vegan, but still, The Green Roasting Tin by Rukmini Iyer, and Plants Only by Gaz Oakley πŸ˜‹

I haven’t been able to find the article but this excerpt is from their terms of service - it’s far reaching

Ah I see, yeah .art was quite stringent, I’m on mastodon .design now and it’s much much more chill.

From what I’ve heard it is much worse than that, I will try and find that info and let you know

It's not that I don't like Bsky, the vibe is very different, more similar to Twitter - good and bad. Also in the back of my mind is the terms and conditions on here, it's far reaching, they basically have the rights to anything you post 😬

Totally, and I'm not super technical, I mean I use a computer for digital art, but I can't write code, so I'm not sure what particular parts you found complicated. Anyway I sound like some kind of recruiter πŸ˜… I just like the community on there, and I don't have to see Ai crap ✌️

But hey, if it's not for you, it's not for you. I just see a lot of takes from folks who tried one server, one flavour of mastodon and didn't like it, but part of the beauty I suppose is being able to move and try another flavour ✌️

Oh I haven't found that at all really - I must follow people across a dozen instances, .art, .social etc, I can talk to them, see their posts in my timeline. I did experience the blocking issues when I was on .art, but as I say that doesn't happen on every server. It's def a personal preference

If you’re interested, this customisable guide is really useful, and took me approx 15min to complete moving servers ✌️

This is all true, but the great thing about federated social networks is you have a choice - I agree with your takes on .art, so I just moved to .design. But there’s tons of servers and you can move and take your followers with you. Twitter - I’m stuck with Musk and I don’t get to move from his hell

unfortunately it’s a lot of Ai images, and completely random stuff not art related - some grim images of tape worms or something 🀒

Me and Coop being goofs this AM - whenever I try and take a photo of Cooper he’s like NOPE, and he’ll squirm… or stick a foot in my face πŸ˜‚

It’s sad we have to be so β€˜culture-war’ about everything β€” I spoke to my server admin and they said they would likely have to block initially simply from an infrastructure perspective - our server wouldn’t cope with masto posts reaching millions of insta users and going viral ✌️

As of today, the so-called #MakeSolo2Happen day, I've drawn my 129th #StarWars - nay #StarDraws portrait. Donald Glover, who gave great BDW energy as Lando back in 2018.

There are still rumbles of maybe a Disney+ 'Lando' vehicle and I'm here for it 100%.

Yeah exactly - a lot of these things aren’t designed to work with illustrator accounts πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Still finding my way here but am liking the vibes, as they say. It's the 'other place' minus everything they chopped, changed, and haphazardly bolted on over there.

Is there some clever way to check if the people you follow THERE are HERE?

Yeah it feels like this is an oversight - it should tie the .com handle to your existing username, so that both are on the same account ✌️

I think that you can use fedifinder - but I believe it relies on the Twitter user placing their Bsky handle on their profile

Well, hello here. Below is something appropriately blue sky abundant. I did a bunch of these landscapes in 2015 for the BBC R3 Proms coverage - I think they used them over socials and on the web.

Anyway, if you’re finding me via OTHER social media sites; hello again. If you’re new; welcome.

Had fun mixing light line and fluorescent pink on this new print. It feels super 90s to me and now I want to stay up late and watch MTV oddities.

Pew: 60% of U.S. Twitter users have 'taken a break' from the platform in the past year A new study by Pew Research Center paints a picture of a pause in Twitter usage by U.S. adults, but the data doesn’t necessarily point the finger at Elon Musk’s takeover of the social media platform as the source of the blame. Instead, Pew’s survey of U.S. adults, which was conducted over a week in […]

Well, well, well. How the turntables…
