NOW I get it. Why was this not explained before!? #beer

This probably describes me better than any intro

Lovely to see mstdn.social being very performant this morning. Not sure if that's because election stuff is done, Americans are asleep or @stux has done more magic.
Remember mastodon servers ain't funded by ads or data-selling folks.
If you can, help your admin. For this instance, check out https://hub.mstdn.social/about/

#stephenfry Poor admins!

For all it's advantages and faults, #Mastodon was not built to be a *new* Twitter. It was built to be *not* Twitter.

That distinction is important.

@stephenfry So glad to see you here! Great fan of your work. I'm sure people have already told you about the video (you can find it on YouTube as well), you've probably also been told to follow @feditips for more handy info. Outside of that the admins and regulars are trying their best to answer newcomer questions.

Welcome to Mastodon!

@stephenfry Did someone point out https://fedi.tips or https://mastodon.help yet? Both worth a read

#StephenFry has deleted his #twitter account and left his 12.5m followers behind. He's moved to mastodonapp.uk where I expect the admins were hoping for some respite from the twitter influx...hopefully he mentioned it to someone there first. 🤔

I’m starting this account and my first post is on the #fullmoon #bloodmoon #lunareclipse #BeaverMoon in Taurus.

My feels

Let's hope this move from Twitter to the Fediverse make people think about the apps they use and how these apps exploit them as users and how these apps violate their privacy? #fedi #askfedi #apps #privacy

I have never seen such a concentration of kind, interesting people, cool things to learn about, and dopamine supply in my life. Y'all are fabulous. #mastodon

If you're a recent convert or considering opening an account at Mastodon, my username over there is @LordArse. Come on over, it's actually a really nice place to play once you get used to it. Did I mention that there was cake?

Ok, I’m going to try starting a thing ​

If you are new to Mastodon,
and you have a short question about Mastodon,
start your toot (post) with #MastodonQuestion

If you are a Mastodon Elder,
and you know things,
click on #MastodonQuestion to help newcomers when you have some time 😊

Let’s ask and answer about the technical part but also about the cultural part! This is important.

Stay kind and have fun discovering! 💚💫🐘
