Hey guys, I just wanted to do one of these backyard vlogs this morning because this is an unusual event. We actually got a little snow last night. Now down here in Louisiana, this is a pretty rare occurrence. We probably get snow, I don't know, once every four or five years and it's usually just a couple inches. Kind of like it is now. The temperature, it's already above freezing. The snow overnight it got down a little below freezing and I had to come out here and check on my cat because he's an outside cat. You guys have seen my cat, Mr. Barack Obama and I was a little concerned about him because you know I got my cat in 2008 when Barack Obama was inaugurated president. I got him that week and I named him in honor of Barack Obama being elected president and that was what 12, 13 years ago he is not a young cat and I felt kind of bad for him to be out last night in the below freezing temperatures but I couldn't find him. I haven't been able to find him yet this morning but that's not unusual for a cat to disappear for hours at a time. Heck, when he was younger he would disappear for days at a time. But the other reason I wanted to make a vlog today is to let you guys know that I am no longer on mastodon.technology. The person that owns mastodon.technology wants me off that instance because of my latest video, he wants to go ahead and ban me from that instance because on that video I stated that Donald Trump is not a white supremacist the way Mozilla claims on their blog post the other day. Trump's tweets were promoting white supremacy and I said that's ridiculous because Trump is not a white supremacist. He was a Democrat a few years ago which is factually accurate. He actually has been a Democrat in his past. He actually has some pretty liberal views. So it's strange that apparently this guy took issue with that because he direct messaged me and said that my video was quote, or shit. And that Trump is a white supremacist and he wants me off of his instance. Now I don't like arguing with people. This person is obviously probably deeply politically involved and I don't like arguing politics with people like this. So it's his instance. I respect that. I have no issues with this guy. This guy is named Ash Faroe and I assume he's probably somebody of color that's deeply involved in fighting racism and injustice in the world. Probably in America probably lives in the deep south where there's a lot of racial tension still from decades past. So when I looked up this profile it looks like this guy. He's a white guy from Canada. So you crazy conucks. Yes, I was banned from Macedon by a conuck. I love my Canadian viewers by the way you guys are awesome. But what I've decided to do, a lot of you guys over the years when I've talked about Macedon. Many of you guys have said, hey man, I joined this Macedon instance and I was banned. Macedon is just like Twitter. I've always told you guys that's wrong because it's decentralized. Go to another instance of Macedon. Join another server or create your own Macedon instance. And now that this fellow Ash wants me off of Macedon technology I actually was kind of happy because this gives me a chance to kind of practice what I preach. I've been telling a lot of you guys, hey, go start your own Macedon instances or whatever it is, all these decentralized pieces of software. Go start your own instances. That's exactly what I decided to do. Just to make my life a little easier. I went ahead and spun up a server this morning and I have already had the domain name distro2t.com. Yes, too. It has been Macedon. So I went ahead and set up my own personal Macedon instance at distro2.com. And I just want to let you guys know because I have almost 4,000 followers on Macedon over at Macedon. Technology. All you guys need to quit following distro2.com at Macedon. Technology and follow Derek at distro2t.com. That's where I'm going to be right now. And it'll be the same thing. It mainly used Macedon as a signal service where I post links to my videos as soon as I upload them because you guys know the YouTube notification system is kind of a mess. Oftentimes I'll post something. You guys don't get notified about it. But if you're following me on Macedon, I always post on Macedon as soon as I upload something. I've got a lot of snow and ice falling out of the trees. That's the temperature rises here. I got hit on top of my bald head. Yes, I said bald. But I'm not really bald. Anyway guys, that's really all I had to say. I'm going to continue to search for my cat a little bit longer. And I might even make a snowman. Alright guys, peace.
