This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.

Roses are red, violets are blue, doom-scrolling is totally not good for you.
Also make sure to stay hydrated.
@SteveZissou maybe something I should create sometime.

I hope all you new folks are learning to re-discover what the web was meant to be.
go adventure, find trouble, make friends.
Let's smash the social media silos together.

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!
Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?
Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.
Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).
So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!
But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!
OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!
@SteveZissou is there a server database with user comments for each one?

Picking a Mastodon instance is a lot like picking a Linux distro. It seems complicated because you get a lot more options but it doesn't really matter and you don't have to commit to one to the exclusion of others if you find that you don't like the one you picked first.

* oh wow this is actually pretty cool
* I’m an instance admin now

@Littlebitspace's deck of #PETSCII #Tarot cards have been coded into a #Commodore64 program to do a reading! Code by jab, music by Flotsam. Further details at https://csdb.dk/release/index.php?id=224980

You've got to admire the dedication (& blinking lights)
@tinker choosing a server is tough! I ended up going with one that sounded OK… but I’m left wondering how easy it is to migrate servers if eventually I need to.
@lunarloony @LordArse@toot.community we are probably the wrong people to ask given that we are nostalgic enough for old tech to start social media accounts exclusively to discuss old stuff.
Seems like yesterday’s news. But what do the cool kids think?
@lunarloony @LordArse@toot.community I’d love to see forums make a comeback. IRC servers and channels too 👍
