- drove out of the city and out into the country and hiked up a mountain just
 to get away from it all. Saw two people I know.

- I've got some concerns about the viability of the fediverse and about
 mastodon specifically, but i've noticed that that every time I pop over to
 the bird site from there, it just seems more hostile and alarmed and
 generally slightly more awful, and then I retreat back to mastodon which
 feels a little bit more civilized and I don't know whether that is because
 there are just fewer people there in general or whether it hasn't been as
 weaponized and commercialized as the other site (more actual people; fewer
 corporations, bots, and trolls) or whether the federated nature of the thing
 allow users to group together and cluster together around a shared interest
 and in doing so feel more of a community and more of a togetherness that
 squashes down the silos--locally at least--and the us-vs-them-ism.
