OK, the Mastodon version of As The Site Migrates for day 5. Templating needs so much work. I mean, so much work. I put everything in place to start posting recipes, (and I mean the cooking ones, not the technology ones), and the way my stuff is being displayed right now is just heartbreaking. But I will not let the Full Site Editor beat me, and I'm thinking of turning this whole thing into a podcast so other people using screen readers can do this too should you wish to leave large services. I haven't settled on the podcast thing yet so don't hold me to that, but this whole thing might need to be documented and I think doing screen shares/walkthroughs is probably the best way to do that. Still considering.

Re: my last boost on Mastodon: how much of a problem individual Jews are going to have voting for one or more Republicans this cycle is going to varry from individual to individual, and I'm not about to tell another Jew how much of a problem they should or shouldn't have. But Democrats and leftists, you broght this on yourselves. You didn't have to make a nice cozy place for every Jew-hating c*nt you could find even after Trump was elected for a second time, but you did, and then you had the nerve to scold American Jews for not just shutting up and taking the crap. So now the bill is coming due, and you do not have the right to demand that we vote for anyone who is just fine with constantly attempting to police our identity on the mild end and justifying our actual deaths on the extreme end. And even if you do win, don't think we're going to forget the message that you've sent loudly and clearly for the last 3 years, and we will proceed accordingly.

Day 4 of the personal site migration from classic WordPress to blocks. As far as templating is concerned, the full site editor still makes me want to throw things. But, I have a really nice posting setup by way of a micropub client combined with some IFTTT until I get some stuff sorted with Lire and my Miniflux situation, and it's so nice that I'm literally going to be able to ditch several third-party services by the time this is done. I need to figure out how I'm going to handle Mastodon, because that workflow is completely broken at this point. The site itself will federate, but honestly with the way things have gone with the fediverse over the last three years and change there are a metric ton of people I'd just as soon not follow me to the next chapter of this journey. If you're tempted to reply to this post to say something about how you hope you're not on the list, rest assured that you are very likely not on it. Anyway, I have some strategizing to do, and John's going to help me with working with the full site editor since he likes the block editor while I'd like to fire it into the sun with a rocket. And in the event Mastodon becomes difficult, rest assured that I'll start finding people and following from my site.
