This brings blog posts, showcase posts, and newsletter editions into the Docusaurus site. It also adds support for using TailwindCSS inside a container. So this will probably end up being the new freesewing.org site in v4.

FreeSewing has carved out a spaced for itself on the Fediverse and that space
|
|
is [FreeSewing.social](https://freesewing.social). It's a Mastodon instance
|
|
that is open to all FreeSewing users, and the larger community. ## The
|
|
FreeSewing Mastodon instance The official FreeSewing account
|
|
([@freesewing@freesewing.social](https://freesewing.social/@freesewing)) will
|
|
be used for formal announcements, so if you want the headlines, follow that
|
|
one.
|
|
|
|
<!-- truncate -->
|
|
|
|
I will be using my own account
|
|
([@joost@freesewing.social](https://freesewing.social/@joost)) for more
|
|
frequent updates, news, discussion and whatnot. So if you'd like to be more in
|
|
the loop, that's a good one to follow.
|
|
|
|
And -- it bears repeating -- you are welcome to join this instance. If you were
|
|
wondering about Mastodon/Fediverse but were not too sure about what to do or
|
|
what server to join, this is your chance.
|
|
|
|
## Leaving Twitter I need more work like I need another hole in my head, so
|
|
|
|
setting up this instance was something I've been mulling over for a while, but
|
|
in the end I decided to do it because Twitter -- where both FreeSewing and
|
|
myself have an account -- has been transformed into something that I honestly
|
|
don't want to have anything to do with.
|
|
|
|
This has been going on for a while, and leaving Twitter at this point is not
|
|
exactly a strong statement. It's just that I've been busy, and certainly was
|
|
too busy to deal with this. So I decided that the website migration was a good
|
|
time to make the formal announcement.
|
|
|
|
So, I will remove both `@j__st` and `@freesewing_org` from Twitter at the end
|
|
of this month.
|
|
|
|
## Joining Bluesky The Fediverse is not for everyone, and for those who like
|
|
|
|
the Twitter experience, Bluesky seems to be the alternative that is somewhat
|
|
closest.
|
|
|
|
This is by no means an endorsement, but I have created
|
|
[joost.at](https://bsky.app/profile/joost.at) and
|
|
[FreeSewing.org](https://bsky.app/profile/freesewing.org) on Bluesky. I will do
|
|
my best to also post there so that those people who prefer it can get their
|
|
updates that way.
