@teruterubozu I say tŵtiau but my Cymraeg is probably even worse than yours 😄
And if you ever feel like tooting yn Gymraeg, add the #Ymarfer hashtag so people know you're practising and open to feedback 👍

@jaz I love the existence of a Welsh server. My Welsh is still so bad I would never dare talk to someone, but I'm finding it easier to read Welsh toots (tŵtau?)

@jaz and based on my lesson last night, tŵtiau seems correct (you know more than you think!)
@teruterubozu lucky guess I think, but glad to hear 👍
@jaz @teruterubozu I hadn't found the #ymarfer hashtag before. Thank you for the info 👍
And if you follow #DysguCymraeg you might find toots from other learners. Mostly my day to day drivel! 😉
@suearcher @teruterubozu speaking of, did the crane ever get a stop motion thingamabob?
Yeah, that's still a work in progress. I need to edit all the images so they line up. I can do about 20 before my eyes go funny. I had about 750 to do, I think I'm up to about 620. I started out determined to do some every day, but...
Meanwhile 'm up to nearly 200 daily tree pics to play with once I've done a full year....
@suearcher you'd think there'd be a "make all th eimages line up" program. I've been playing with LRTimelapse to make a video of the @woodlandwatch pictures as I'm almost at a year's worth, but it's 48 per day, I think I need a supercomputer...
@jaz #telleveryone the diy community is equal to none. The emphasis on repair, the #sewing #mending #visiblemending people, the #solarpunk vibe. People take initiatives, ambitious or tiny.
@jaz The sheer amount of people who take great photos and then, after uploading, seeing the positive responses of others; that's entirely unlike that Other Site where it's constant ragebait and bot activity. More cats too, which is obviously a good thing.
@jaz There's no algorithm to determine what I see. I see the posts from the people I follow. Period. #TellEveryone
@angiebowen as I'm not a user of the other platforms, it was really surprising, shocking even, to hear that more and more, people can't see the posts from people they explicitly follow. Bizarre stuff.
@jaz
The people, of course.
Every single person in here has made the deliberate choice of stepping out of the beaten track. So pretty much everyone here is self-selected for having the ambition of finding their own path through life.
I 💖 it!
[The flip side is obvious - self-selection has costs in terms of overall numbers, entry barriers, accessibility, etc. Unfortunate, but everything comes with both pros and cons.]
@jaz You only really get the "own your own data" thing by running your own server, but that's what I do, so that's what I get.
I know I can't be banned or moderated badly by the whole fediverse at once. I know where my data lives, I know where it's backed up, I know I haven't signed away wordwide reproduction rights to anyone. I know nobody will be inserting adverts or biased selection algorithms because I control what runs on my server.
Good morning lovely 🌹
I never used Social Media until I joined the #fediverse it's a welcoming friendly place.
Full of chatty silliness as well as serious discussion which is done in a sensible adult way.
I have made some strong connections with people across the world 🌎 that I would never have met IRL.
THANKS to all of you, you know who you are ❤️❤️❤️
@DoubleTreble thank you for sharing, your post made my day!
@jaz
So glad to have 'made your day '
I aim to spread a little cheer 🥰🥰
There are lost of things that I love about Mastodon, but the thing that saves me every day is the ability to edit posts.... there is a cottage industry among my followers spotting my typos (and also occasional analytical miss-steps) & being able to edit the post is just brilliant.
"cottage industry" implies the possibility of remuneration.
Stump up, Professor! 😁
@jaz Mostly nice people and algorithm free. #TellEveryone
@jaz Interesting and intelligent people who talk about ideas, not celebrities. I learn something new everyday from my Mastodon feed. #TellEveryone

Public common good tool in the spirit of Wikipedia I think.
I highly recommended it for the amateur radio operators. A good way to be of service to the citizens and possible disaster recovery organizations like the Red Cross etc. 🙂
I personally like to read from the University professors also. 📚
Excellent way to practice and improve multi language skills.
✅ Ok to use the answer (If judged worthy 😉 ).
👋
@jaz A real feeling of community and no ads! This is how social media should be. #telleveryone
@jaz non-toxic ☢️
@jaz People are generally civil even if they disagree with you.

Self-hosting is the reason I'll never leave, at this point. I found the Fediverse during the beginning of my journey down the online privacy rabbithole. My threat model has changed since those days, and continues to change, and will. The one thing the Fediverse makes possible, that no corporate social media platform can or will, is the reality of being able to host it yourself. Doing so puts your data in your own hands and no one else's.
