Tweeting your regular progress on this is a good approach I think, even when I don't understand the significance of what you're saying.

I'm not on Twitter so I can't see your tweets,

You don't need to be on Twitter to see the tweets, just browse to that page.

That hasn't been the case for a while. If you're not logged into an account, all you'll see is a black page with the X logo in the center. You'll need to use Mastodon if you want to post things on social media that are accessible to everyone.

DMD as a cross-compiler? Sounds great!

Well, one of the principles is to give users control over interactions, so instances can block other instances and users can even block entire instances as they wish.

However, anyone can read what you post if it's a publicly available server. Just click the link. You can even add someone's account to your RSS reader without having a Mastodon account.

Other social media services don't allow that AFAIK.

I know nothin about protocol stuff, but my experience is that I once tried a generic server found it to be a political bubble and left; and a few years later had the thought to find a block list and start shopping, found mine current one and interacting with outside the bubble seems buggy with gaps saying "this message is not available", videos that dont play, images that dont load; etc.

I don't think the whole network lives up to a high "the internet routes around censorship" ideal the software was trying for, you mostly need to pick your pocket
