I tried out Mastodon once, never really got into it. Fast forward to Twitter’s acquisition, shit hit the fan, you know the story, but I wasn’t really convinced until some of the decisions lately. Tried out Mastodon again, and whilst it was nice, it wasn’t really for me. I figured I’d try looking for another instance, and I ended up landing myself on Kbin as it has Lemmy support for topical discussions, as well as microblogging capabilities for who I keep track of on Mastodon. I don’t post that actively, but it’s been great so far!

In my curiosity, I bought a Nook Simple Touch off eBay for 15 dollars a few months ago. It actually works really great for reading EPUBs off Overdrive and OpenLibrary, and it definitely makes night reading a hell of a lot more comfortable, lasts quite long on battery, even as a cheap second hand device.

Name is Brent, pals screwing around. Pal takes Mr. Krabs quote, “sponge boy bob”, puts name in, “brent boy bob.” Abbreviates to bbmb, “m” is pronoun.

I just started using kbin.social after not really feeling satisfied with Mastodon personally, wanting something more topical like Lemmy, but I still wanted some Mastodon compatibility due to most of my mutuals on the Fediverse using Mastodon. Landed myself here, so far so good!
