One thing that's blowing my mind is how many great organizations host Mastodon instances on their main domain. mastodon.mit.edu? social.kernel.org? Very cool!

@evan it's like the Web has been under the spell this whole time, which finally broke, and the Internet is relearning how to be the Internet again.

@evan Impressive, but many organizations will not want to take this on due to potential legal liabilities. #MIT has $$$ for legal defense; many do not.

I'm making another batch of apple jack. It's a brandy made from apple wine, distilled by freezing out some of the water and retaining the higher-alcohol remains.

This is an old New Jersey recipe my grandfather told me about. I reconstructed it last year for the first time. I'm looking forward to having another batch!

@evan interesting! I'm going to be doing my first batch of cider, using the same gear that I use to make sauerkraut and giardiniera in.

@evan It was one of the most popular drinks in Colonial America! Especially when war stopped booze imports from the Caribbean and Europe.

So, I used @pruvisto 's Debirdify to get the Mastodon addresses of everyone I follow on Twitter.

Then, I downloaded those addresses as a CSV, which seems to be in a format used for interchanging AP addresses in Mastodon instances.

Then, I went to Preferences -> Import and Export -> Import, selected "Import Type" to be "Following list", chose the CSV file I'd downloaded from Debirdify as "Data", selected "Merge", then the "Upload" button.

It worked well! ~14% of my Twitter follows imported.
