This also means I can really think through what drawing something entails and have an overall idea before I start. Split it all into actionable steps.

Hmm. To get myself used to making alt text for images, I could write a detailed description of what I plan to draw and work off of that as a prompt. Then just remember to adjust the prompt if I deviate from it.

I should learn to work on multiple art projects at a time. I have ideas waiting on me coloring a drawing I was hesitant to color in the first place.

I like when sites have custom emojis using the :emojiname: format.

long, on moving to Masto 

posted this on Twitter but it's probably useful here too:

I'm not gonna say "join Mastodon" or "don't join Mastodon" but please don't join the two instances run by the main developer (mastodon social and mastodon online), they're hopelessly overrun and as a result of that not well-moderated.

Join a small or medium-sized instance and use the public timelines. They're made up from ppl who people on the instance follow, which is why there's instances built around different topics (but you're usually welcome to post about anything). Hmu if you want a recommendation

You can also create multiple accounts, all the good apps support multi-user (I'm recommending Tusky on Android and Toot! (paid) for iOS), if you for example want an AD or an account for gaming and a personal one I'd highly recommend creating them on different instances

Bet they don't have *this* emoji on twitter :catjam:

Hi! mastodon.social is being slow right now, as far as I can tell because there's twice as many people using it at the same time as ever have; I'm working on making it go fast again, but in the meantime, do remember to invite people to joinmastodon.org instead of directly to mastodon.social. People don't have to be on the same server to follow you! Thanks!

In the morning I should set up a script to adjust my laptop screen brightness based on the time of day. Means I'll be forced to properly learn how chron jobs work, since they still elude me after watching several videos explaining them.

If and when the mastodon surge happens, I think admins need to do more to set expectations on how blocking works. Reminding users that they can personally block instances and users. Help to ensure that user problems do not become “instance vs instance”. Admins have a responsibility to their users and the wider community, and should try to avoid instance blocks for dispute resolution unless it involves Prohibited Content. Learn from failed instances.

Okay so if you're new and feeling a bit lonely now your bazillion follows are gone, it's a good idea to either click Local or Federated and start interacting with other users so you can rebuild your social circle. It's not going to be easy and I advise you don't quit Twitter cold turkey. Think of this as like changing your phone number, takes time and effort.
