Ello you awesome people!
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! 😁

If no - end of discussion
If yes - you have identified the problem
And it's not trans people.
