I recently decided to hop on the fediverse. There was 2 reasons.

I wanted to test out the fediverse/ blogging in a more chill environment. (I made my own blog before this one, yet I post on here more than there) Also a silly third reason, to see how feasible it is to be purely restricted to the fediverse, and thrive. So far I have … Created this very blog (actually tested for a month on bearblog, but migrated to self-hosted as I wanted to host my own images) Hoped on Mastodon with out any prior social media related to this persona. Posted a few things. Bridged my mastodon to Bluesky, so I can flex to my friends that I am on their favorite corporate-backed platform while being purely on the Fediverse. Created an anilist.co to track what I watch and read, rather than it being stored in a note on keep notes. Also I get some stats. Started a somewhat-weekly series of posts on the blog where I try posting a random Vocaloid songs. exploring I am having so much fun exploring and finding new people, websites and posts that share new things. For example while cliking links I found tamaNOTchi, a virtual pet you can grow through your blog. Here is mines: Taiyo & Miku.
