I developed a tool to show you your twitter friends on #mastodon: https://www.movetodon.org/

👉 All data stays in your browser
👉 No CSV import neccesary
👉 List can be sorted by sign-up date, so that you can find new accounts fast

A few recommendations for life on Mastodon:

1) Follow anyone you think looks potentially interesting; you can always unfollow later, and they may lead you to new people via boosted posts.

2) Boost posts you think are worthy, so others can discover new content.

3) Don't obsess on replicating your Twitter follows on Mastodon; let it be its own experience, and grow it organically. Obvs follow anyone you miss from Twitter, but this isn't a 1:1 replacement; have fun, follow your instincts.

What does it mean if folks from a limited server are trying to follow me?

Can they already see my posts in their timelines? (I know everyone can see by going to my profile page.)

What happens if I accept their request? Like if they are federating with a server that's suspended here would someone on the limited server be able to boost my posts to a suspended one?

#BlackMastodon #HowDoesThisThingWork

Feels like every time I go to twitter now my blood pressure rises - like I’m behind enemy lines or something. I like it here. ❤️

Mistigram: this #Lego #pixelart #Peanuts scene, featuring #CharlieBrown, #Snoopy and #Woodstock, was made by Lego_colin and included in the comics-themed MIST0720 artpack collection. We share it today in honour of #Schultz100. #HappinessIsAWarmPuppy

Alright, this seems to be a mandatory #Histodon / #Histodons ritual: I'm a historian of African American experiences, the U.S. South, and of white supremacy and gender. My first book was on white (supremacist) women, class, and Massive Resistance (UGA Press, 2021). Currently, I am working on 19th and 20th century transnational histories of Black concert dance (and could not be more excited about it :)). Thanks for reading, and I look forward to connecting on here.

I do like it here on Mastodon, but the huge influx of people from Twitter means there are far fewer image descriptions than from even a couple of weeks ago. I’d love to tell every one of them about this, but quite frankly there are so many I don’t have the patience. I’d dearly love it if apps could block posts unless an image description was added to every photo, but I suppose that’s too much to hope for. I’m feeling really excluded from so many conversations. It’s getting as bad as Twitter.

@PaulaToThePeople just used the #fediUnblock hashtag, which I didn’t know about, so I guess I’m asking people to fediUnblock my instance because of the potential consequences of the aforementioned muppet’s actions!

Thanks Paula 🙂

The 88 in my twitter handle (@Skywise88) is for the number of official constellations. Now I hear it's also a number that racists use to sort of digitally wink at each other or something. Fuck Racism.

What happens if I change my twitter handle? Will I lose all my followers? Will I have to pay twitter 88 dollars? Will I raise the entropy of the universe, slightly contributing to its eventual heat death?

I filled my office in the new house with tons of light, multiple LED lamps at high intensity, and I think it helped a lot with the seasonal issues I often have-- good to keep in mind, your whole room can be a therapy lamp if you believe

Toot me a swear word and its meaning in your native language, please. No scientific purpose, i just like hearing how people swear.

Today's #aiArt is "album art" for a new band I'm sure you'll all love "Master Don and the Toot Boosters"

Thanks #Midjourney 😆

Sometimes I long for the expressiveness of Livejournal's (or more currently Dreamwidth's) icon system where instead of one pfp you have a whole gallery that you can choose from to match the mood of whatever post you're making.

It was a lot of fun to find and share little avatars with each other, and sit before hitting the submit button deciding who you were at the moment.

Fresh #Introduction 📢

We're an almost 15 year old queer feminist collective that runs a bookstore co-op and social movement space in Southern Appalachia. We’re an intimately democratic project, operating without bosses or investors to create a hub for anarchist thought and culture. But we’re not just a home base for committed radicals—we strive to promote exploration and encounter by being a welcoming and accessible space for our entire community. 🧵
