Greetings, all. Excited about developments here at Bonfire.

Looking at Bonfire as a potential long-term home for my Fediverse presence. Currently on Mastodon, @the_roamer@mastdonapp.uk

I joined Mastodon in the great twitter migration in November 2022. For me, the considered, open conversation culture in the Fediverse was a reveleation and a liberation. I hope that we can preserve this culture in the midst of larger commercial networks. I feel Bonfire might be a force for good in this endeavor.

On Mastodon, I've been posting on all sorts of issues large and small: politics, literarure, programming, pedagogy, covid, &tc.  Feel free to check out my posts there. It is important to me to keep all the various parts of my engagement together in one single account, so you may wish to ignore posts in areas that don't interest you. My posts on Fediverse-related issues are often tagged with the hashtag #MastdonCulture. Posts on life with my dog are tagged #whippet_moments.

I'll be happy to start engaging locally here. Until Bonfire federates more widerly, feel free to link up with me on Mastodon too --- just let me know that you are also here on Bonfire. (I accept DMs.)
