Making a new profile is an inherently optimistic moment. I hope to have some good conversations and meet some people who are positive and trying new things.
Some things we can connect about:

strange indie comedy or films with great cinematography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Robinson_(comedian)
Looking forward to talking with you.
Hello Ben and welcome!

That is interesting. I have met and participated in some great story telling sessions here in the Fediverse, I was wondered by this new medium -- but you have to be fortunate to see the story as it is being posted, one toot at a time.
@anarchiv impressed me with that -- This sequence, which I caught as he typed them : https://todon.nl/@anarchiv/103260707759534544
Inspired, I went on to writing my firsr similar, sequential toot short story that same morning. https://qoto.org/@design_RG/103261667157165272
Later developed into a full content, one of my favourite Blog pages : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/memories-a-visit-to-the-archeology-museum
I was fascinated by a new form of presentation -- but it's really best experienced as a fireside chat, you have to be lucky to be around when the story starts, and to see it flash by.
Caught a similar episode by another Todon user, and that made me want an account at that instance -- creative people I wanted to be close to.
@design_RG
My stories generally fit in a single toot, so you don't need to be there at the start.
I have (very occasionally) done longer stories on Twitter, where I sit down and tell a story one tweet at a time over an evening, and that is, as you say, like a fireside storytelling session, where you as a storyteller get to see the audience's reaction as the story unfolds.

@bencr
good to see another Jon Hopkins fan!
@bencr I pretty much only listen to music an album at a time.
