Nice shave. Today is the monthly meeting of the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club. Designed around sending smushes all over the world to try new things, as of late we've been using Tabac because of international mailing fuckery. Thanks, Obama.

Participants are a group of shavers who decided they'd give the Fediverse a try. There are multiple things to pick from, but most of us are leaning towards PieFed as the go to back end. PieFed is available at https://wetshav.ing/. Lemmy is available at https://sub.wetshaving.social/, and Mastodon is available at https://wetshaving.social/.

This SOTD post will probably get me banned from Reddit. Such is life.

They can't fire you if you quit first!
