I found this post interesting, especially since this author claims those terrible places are where readers are, and yet, I've found an audience here in the #Fediverse that donates to me to keep me writing, that supports my audiobook/podcast narrators I link to, and a whole other type of audience, so never trick yourself into thinking there's only one kind of audience. https://juliaserano.blogspot.com/2025/06/regarding-substack-and-writer-centric.html #Substack #IndieWeb #Author #Artist

Hey sorry for the late reply, but yes! Fully agree on everything! That's what I might start doing, actually, is just flooding other spaces with TLDR versions of my writing with links back to the original so they can read it if they so wish. At the moment, I'm flooding podcast directories with my RSS feed, though! https://weirdwritings.pinecast.co @strypey @index

Hi everyone! I don't know what happened to my pinned introduction, so here is a somewhat new one.I've been here in the Fedi since 2017. You can listen to an interview at the link below.I'm a blind and gay writer. I keep a blog. I call it my soul on the internet because you won’t get the same thing every time. I write huge rants. I write short narrative stories about eating ice cream like it's the first time I'm having an orgasm. I write lyrical musings about crying in the shower. I pen essays about battling with a smart fridge. You'll never get just one thing with me and my website.As for fiction, I write M/M Romance featuring blind and or disabled people, because disabled people deserve happy endings too. My romances generally always have a HEA instead of an HFN. I'm not the best with series. I also tend to enjoy doing novellas rather than full length novels, but I do novels as well. It's just that novellas are my comfort zone.My Romances are quite angsty. They ask a lot of questions of the reader, and they feature things I'm extremely proud of, like in my young adult Romances I feature things like supportive gay dads to a teenager. I don't shy away from potentially triggering subjects because it mirrors my own life.That being said, if you don't like angsty Romances, I'm probably not your author but I also pen happy Romances too, like one I just finished where a Chef that's lost his sense of taste falls in love with a Blind taste tester because of a job he put out onto the internet. I love exploring dynamics such as that in a very slow, character centric, way.My blog/website has everything about me. It's the best way to get inside of my head. I don't use video based spaces often because I'm blind so video spaces really don't interest me.My blog is also a podcast for folks that prefer listening to reading.I listen to podcasts religiously, especially fiction podcasts. Podcast audiobooks. Fiction audio dramas. All kinds of fiction podcasts.I'm an audiobook reader.I love reading character driven stories.Some additional things that bring me profound joy.Boy bands. Anime. Video games. Nerd media. Cookies. Video game music. Chocolate. Ice cream. Cats. Listening to audio only let’s Plays via podcasts. Cookies. Yes, I said it twice! That's how much I love them!I rarely wear clothes that match. I wear things for comfort. Fabrics that feel good to me.I take extensive social media breaks, especially in the summer/fall time because that's when I'm doing events, hanging out with offline people, and terrorizing my local town.I'm huge into local activism and local change because I believe that all local progress, especially on a mass scale, will cause national politics to buck up and maybe actually do things for its voter base.I'm a tech geek that hates everything tech culture. I also hate everything hustle culture. Influencer culture. Bletch.As for links, the only two links of mine you'll need are below but I also included an interview link.My podcast, https://weirdwritings.pinecast.co/ My website. https://sightlessscribbles.com/ Interview with me on Fediverse #Accessibility https://audio.firesidefedi.live/@firesidefedi/episodes/robert-kingett-accessibility-in-the-fediverse#Intro #Introduction #Introductions #Fediverse #Mastodon #Romance #RomanceLandia

I don't think it will be Mastodon that leads that charge. It will be other Fedi projects, ones probably not even invented yet. Much like the way long form Fediverse blogging is actually super popular with Ghost and Wordpress and such. @futurebird @crocodisle @literalgrill

Right? I sometimes often joke that the Fediverse is the best RSS reader ever because I find the best links on here. @futurebird @sinituulia

Was reading one of my favorite articles again and then discovered, again, that @rysiek wrote it! I'm the worst at remembering which Fedi people wrote my favorite thing, so it's always a happy surprise when I look them up and then it all clicks again! Ah yes, I remember this Fedi handle wrote this thing, but enjoy anyway! https://rys.io/en/177.html #Fediverse #Mastodon

Offline friends. What's this Fediverse thing? Is it a club for sugar daddies?Me. It's a place where you can go to have Linux folk tell you how to run Linux on a burrito.Offline friends, Why can't they run Linux on cheesecake?

I just now discovered that @Gargron follows me so does this mean that I need to share snippets of the romance Novella I created where John Mastodon and the Fediverse chick, Nicole, get into a romance? She is a firefighter in the small town of Activity Pub. Has a HEA but not really a lot of conflict because I couldn’t think of a lot of conflict, but she wants to run for mayor for the town, but she’s lonely and gets involved with him, and everyone is suspicious because he is the new guy in town. There is smut, but only for one chapter. It has minimal conflict, a lot of hurt/comfort, and a lot of fluff. It has cookie descriptions! #Romance #RomanceLandia

I recently ordered toothpaste from Walgreens. Tonight, about a week later, I received an email from Walgreens letting me know that I did not review my product, would I like to review it? I sat there laughing for 20 minutes, sat straight up, and then sincerely looked off into the distance and told myself, that’s it. I’m gonna write a 500 word review of toothpaste and somehow make it interesting and tie it into surveillance capitalism in 2026. I think 2026 is gonna be an interesting year for the blog. #Humor

Link at end but Now that we officially have quote posts, now can we make it easier for instance administrators to increase their character limits? I have a selfish reason why but I sincerely promise you, if you make it easier to configure things, more people will want to actually make an instance and or a community. Now for my selfish reason as to why I want this so badly.I can’t express how much I absolutely loath a 500 character limit or less mastodon thread with like 40 post parts in the thread. Can the Mastodon developers just make increasing the character limit easier? You can even defederate instances like mine that allow for a much larger character limit, if you hate long character instances if you want. Just for all the Gods, but you can’t legitimately sit there and tell me that reading a 50 part post thread with a 500 character limit, broken up into 20 or more parts is a great reading experience.I’m constantly thinking, this multipart thread could’ve been a blog post. I’m the kind of person that will sit in will read a lengthy blog post with an estimated reading time of nine hours in one go, but I can’t stand short Mastodon posts broken up into 20 or more posts. Go see https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12265 #Mastodon #Fediverse

The most infuriating thing to me is when a marketing executive, that has never used a screen reader a day in their life, fights me back on a comprehensive accessibility report they asked me to do. I provided logs. I provided video. I provided version numbers for everything. and they fight me and say we can’t reproduce anything in the video. Could you send over a screenshot of the NVDA settings you have, and also, have you tried tabbing? What version of NVDA are you using, as if they are the expert and I am not. I want to write back, downloading a screen reader for a day does not make you an expert. No sir, and never tell me to send a screenshot again, or I will triple my invoice. #Accessibility #Rant

There is a new kind of spam happening, at least to me anyway. For weeks and today, This is a completely random reply thread that I was tagged in along with about 300 to 500 other users. To the best of my knowledge, no one has removed this user yet and I am still not even sure what I was tagged in but https://ghetti.monster/objects/7b6f092e-d02d-4eaa-8e2a-4b2ef445b6fe #Mastodon #MastodonModerators
