MidsouthMouth.OctaviaKeatsWow, this month marks three years of 
for me.
I like my instance, Wandering.Shop, for the tasty SF/F/genre bouillon cube it is!
I've found so many cool folks doing cool things.
I've gotten great headsups about hazards, too.
I'm not very active anywhere else, so I'm nearly invisible to most haters. 
It's been good so far.

For a long time. I came in at the very beginning of the mass #Twexodus in early 2022*, and posted a couple helpful "How to #Fediverse" kind of toots, which got boosted to the moon, somehow.
Every now and then (like maybe once a year), I tap into the #neckbeard #zeitgeist and get boosted to the moon, like hundreds of boosts.
No idea, man. I have no idea why so many people follow me.
I just toot nerdy things that make me happy, for the most part. Occasionally #USPOL stuff, but honestly pretty rarely.
* I had actually joined #fedi in late 2018, tried it out for a bit, then quit. Then I joined again in 2019, and just had it on a very slow burn while I used other networks for my primary social stuff. I went all-in to the fediverse/#Mastodon in 2022.
Interesting outcome. Of course, 2022 was the mass #Twexodus. It's when I made the #fediverse my primary social network (soon only), to my delight, and the chagrin of rational people everywhere. XD
Daragh Ó BriainIt’s no “Meeting President McAleese while out of my gourd on ketamine”, but I had a laugh.
(Explanation: *I* wasn’t out of my gourd on drugs meeting the President. It’s a reference to one of the legendary stories shared on #IrishTwitter before the #Twexodus. https://metro.co.uk/2018/05/04/author-recounts-how-he-ended-up-high-on-green-ketamine-with-the-irish-president-7520580/)
Serena Snoad - Good CommunityCan you feel it? Another step forward in the UK #Twexodus

Well, *cough* the powers-that-be think handing out #BirdSite features like #QuoteTweets is much more important, even though they staunchly explained why those features should never and would never be on mastodon at the beginning of the #Twexodus. :P
Marcel van der VeldeOf die fediverse het nu hélemaal gaat worden is lastig te voorspellen. De #TweXodus helpt er zeker bij. Voor nu ben ik gewoon even heel blij met een Guido-vrije zone. 🙂
bison ✅i just saw kinda lokal news on mastodon.
actually helpful the way twitter used to be.
musk did something nobody ever achieved, he made an open source platform popular by destroying the old one

Jeff Sikes - Hire me!With another #Twexodus going on, wanted to mention some tools to convert twitter archives into personal, searchable feeds hosted on your own site.
https://github.com/tweetback/tweetback-canonical and example site https://twitter.11ty.dev/
https://github.com/dariusk/twitter-archiver and example site https://tinysubversions.com/twitter-archive/
https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser
Tweetback is interesting as it has the option of creating a federated network of archives - if we all used that standard, then twitter continues existing in a way (free of the ickyness)
