It's me again. Sorry I've not been around much, I've been sporadically using the first Friendica account I made, where I follow more folks and folks follow me.
But... The last few days, I've not been able to login to the friendica.world site, as it's just not there... It keeps giving errors or just nothing at all... I have no idea what is happening with the instance... So I switched to this one and I guess I'll have to follow some more folks with this one.
I still primarily use Mastodon, as I do like the Friendica bit, but I'm not all comfortable yet with using it, if that makes any sense... 🤔 Guess autistic me likes new things, but it holds on to things it already knows...
Have a nice day everyone! 😁

The Trans Debate
Do trans people exist
Yes
Do people who exist deserve human rights
Yes
Do you believe there are exceptions
to the humans
for which human rights apply
If no - end of discussion
If yes - you have identified the problem
And it's not trans people.

So there is a massive power outage in Spain and Portugal right now. No phone service, no Internet, no "modern" life :D. The cause is unknown - euronews.com/my-europe/2025/04…
What is funny is that we are in the mountains in spain with our TROMhome and we had no clue about any of these. We are fully offgrid in terms of power.
We have lots of solar panels, enough batteries, and satellite internet. So we are all good.
Perhaps we are indeed ready for an apocalypse. Waiting for it here in Picos de Europa :)
But yah, interesting this happened. Likely no "mysterious" cause. Keep an eye on the updates here - bbc.com/news/live/c9wpq8xrvd9t

IMPORTANT!
We will remove our Matrix server in a week time (4th of May). Here's why?
In short: the service has become hard to manage and bots (likely) have taken advantage of our kindness spamming other rooms/users. Because of that our hosting provider wanted to shut down our entire TROM.tf server. Hard to deal with all that and with a huge 300GB database. On top of this anyone can make an account with matrix.org or other instances.
Full explanation and solutions here - trom.tf/chat/

P is for Pick Pixelfed
Sam says "This one is about Instagram and I know it can be a tough one.." but for me it was the easiest of all.
I was never an #Instagram fan. After avoiding it for years I eventually signed up to see a friends' posts, and was mystified as to how it fed me a bunch of random stuff rather than anything I subscribed to. What is the point of this? Now I've forgotten my password and good riddance.
Whereas, for the last couple years since I learned about it, I've been enjoying the heck out of #Pixelfed. It's my calm, beautiful oasis on the internet where I post and enjoy images of nature and interesting places and cats (#caturday!), and I keep it that way because I curate for myself exactly what to follow.
We decided to wait out the storm in yet another place- videos.trom.tf/w/bv3rpVt3GQWZ8…
Playa de la Colada, el Viso. A nice looking recreational area, pretty quiet off season, but the water was contaminated and was full of dying fish! A little bit eerie but otherwise a nice place. In the last photo you can see how flooded it was after all this rain.
Oh and we also found mold under our bed! 😯
Lots of dying fish in this lake
PLAYA DE LA COLADA: This was a beautiful yet kinda creepy place because we found a LOT of fish dying and it looked really weird. Not a water you want to go swim into. We solved the mystery later on when we red more about the place... Except that, we had a good time there and the scenery was really nice. We even did some nigthtime timelapse.
