Dilemma of the moment:
should I keep it @starrwulfe@abc.starrwulfe.xyz or revert to @starrwulfe@starrwulfe.xyz which is dormant now.
- how many people follow @starrwulfe@abc.starrwulfe.xyz? I’m using micro.blog so I can’t get a follow count.
- I have no idea if “moving” followers to the new domain is possible like a regular Mastodon account swap would be.
- I kinda wish I could separate the activitypub redirect from my webserver and redirect it to a minimal install of honk or something similar just so I could keep both ActivityPub instances going. Does Cloudflare offer a way to do this?
- Could I do this with Bridgy Fed and the current blog? Seems like a question for @manton@manton.org and @snarfed.org@snarfed.org.
*heavy thinking intensifies *🤔
Since everyone has a hot take on Bluesky vs Threads vs Mastodon vs Xitter and everyone else, it’s time for me to reheat my long ass post I made about this 10 months ago:
💁🏾♂️ On the subject of Connecting Federated Social Media Networks
Again, 何ぜ両方もう出来ないの？
Microblogging tool of the moment: Public.me, a tool the lets you do microblogging with just iMessage. From the same guy that also made a tool to make small websites out of notes.app.
Follow me for examples here: 🌟 starrwulfe.public.me 🐺 starrwulfe.montaigne.io
Now… how can I tie this back to my main blog and microblog…? 🤔

Thanks again @newsguy.bsky.social / @w7voa@journa.host for signing my copy!
Was supposed to be a memoir, is now a guide to what may come. 🙄
OK. Time to wrangle the dang blog over at starrwulfe.xyz into submission…
Time for another random #Japan #train post…
A Hashimoto bound Toei Shinjuku Line subway train through-running on the Keio Tama Line somewhere near Chofu, Tokyo. 🚃🚃🚃
Holy $&£+!! It happened:
One of my more internet savvy older relatives asked me about #fediverse, #indieweb and #bluesky. The fallout from this stupid election is going to be the salvation of open social media platforms.
You bet your sweet chestnuts I’m advocating my @$$ off 🗣️
Question to all the other micro.bloggers out there:
How are you using it?
- regular blog?
- cross posting?
- book tracking?
- note keeping?
- photo blogging?
I’m keen to check out some not-so-usual ways as well, so please let me know!
I’m not sure what to think this morning. This is a text from my daughter as she rode the bus to middle school.
😔 I don’t care how good the policies are, I cannot get with someone who is an adjudicated rapist, convicted of 34 felony charges, constantly whines, berates, and belittles anyone he’s at odds with, literally incited a deadly riot in the Capitol, and seemingly wants to strip us for parts and turn what’s left into an autocratic regime. 🤷🏾♂️ How am I supposed to explain this to my kids?
Watching the ballots being counted in my part of the ATL burbs.

Rest in Paradise Q. 😔 🎼
Last canvassing run: knocked on 572 doors since August here in Georgia’s most diverse county, Gwinnett. Lots of good vibes and motivation today. Now to chill until Election Day.
Time to do my last round of canvassing before Election Day. 💙 🗳️ 🇺🇸

Hell is freezing over if this is true.
Tonight’s [Des Moines Register](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/iowa-poll/2024/11/02/iowa-poll-kamala-harris-leads-donald-trump-2024-presidential-race/75354033007/) last poll shows Harris **AHEAD +2** over Trump. Is there a 🌊?
Half-Flop.
I promise this is the day that I go ahead and migrate Starrwulfe.xyz over to micro.blog. Take a look at the site and you’ll see why (unless I rebooted the server already.)
I was waiting to see if I could fix link-rot and migrate/copy/alias the short URLs to the posts but I don’t care anymore.
I can say that I’ve had the opportunity to witness both a former president and a possible future president that share a similar background as myself, in the same place and time as myself.
