@Gargron Mastodon has provided me a first step in more digital sovereignty. It is very refreshing to have a timeline that you can fully control.
Moving to Mastodon felt like moving into a new village. You start with an empty timeline, and you have to actively work on your first connections.
After some initial effort, you are rewarded with meeting interesting people. They welcome you in their communities, and you can keep on discovering amazing people through the messages they boost!

I wanted to offer prospective Mastodon users an easy way to get a cool username domain - I think musiq.fan is short, to the point, and easy to remember. Your username @musiq.fan will work for you on any other Mastodon server. No need to sign up again anywhere else. Also - you can vote for your favorite indie music in our monthly song contest. More info coming soon!
Here's a list of existing Mastodon communities - https://joinmastodon.org/communities

Computers are unlearnable, constantly-changing mystery boxes of misery and woe unless using a computer is literally your full-time job, and sometimes even then.
You can't learn the buggers. Just when you're starting to get the hang of them they bloody change.
I'm on Ubuntu MATE, which is a fork of Gnome 2, which came out in the early 2000's. Because IT SODDING WORKS
@ifixcoinops Arrrgggg Clippy the evil paperclip
@jmw150 I think that is what they think is needed as the virus will mutate and there will also be more people needing the vaccine each yeas, when they turn 18 unless we intend to also vaccinate <18's at some point
@GooseTheCat @TonyStark Agreed, you have to take a stand.

@TonyStark Sadly none of mine are on board yet. I did catch Tom Cole, Oklahoma, saying impeachment would drive the country apart, when in reality taking a stand together against insurrection would be a first step to bringing us more together.
I'm calling now. #ImpeachTrump
@jmw150 I fear you are right, this thing will be with us for a long time (like influenza perhaps) so we need to get it under control then get back to a new normal.
We can't keep on like we are doing.

As requested (by a.o. @lxzio and @zleap ) we started with a place to discuss ideas, features and concepts: https://github.com/Flockingbird/roost/issues
The main features for Flockingbird are there now. More are following soon.
Feel free to drop your ideas, thoughts, ideas in either new tickets or as comments on the existing.
If comments don't work, we might move it to a wiki instead; this is new for us too.
Obviously a PM or mention on mastodon also works if you have feedback or ideas.
