I am committed to figuring this out #mastodon. Working to get my feed on! #hatebots #twitterswitchers (I am still active on Twitter but seriously?)
@renita I'm an immigrant too and understand what you're saying. I think though that we need to be careful not to act like colonizers in a context where this platform was favoured over Twitter by many as a safe place for those subjected to social injustices, and was deliberately designed to work as it does. #TwitterSwitchers #TwitterMigration
Twitter alternative: how Mastodon is designed to be “antiviral”

The new social software is subtly designed to reduce the huge, viral surges of attention we see on Twitter

Happy #FollowBackFriday folks!

Very happy to be here discovering new friends on the Canadian side and re-connecting with European friends from the Other Place :)

Not to diminish the efforts of all the hard-working folks still employed at the bird site or to trivialize the hardship faced by those that were recently fired, but I’m truly amazed by how much a small group of dedicated volunteers can achieve. I’m sure it helped that they didn’t have to waste time focusing on unproductive things like engagement or monetization.

Bravo to @Gargron and team! 👏

Hello fellow #TwitterSwitchers and seasoned Mastodon users!

I'd like to thank Elon Musk for being such a huge twat in buying Twitter and mucking it up so badly so fast. It made me find a better place called Mastodon. Thanks Elon!

#mastodon is kind of giving me “slow social media” vibes, and I’m OK with it? Also, seems like we all want to have a good time? Maybe I’m reading too much into it. My home page is light, but it’s all just … freeing. #sask #TwitterSwitchers #skpoli #thoughts #journalist

Bismillah . . .

I searched for a Canadian based Mastadon Instance

Grateful it already exists,

And grateful to join it.

I've followed a good number of you to seed my timeline.

I don't know all the cultural norms here yet,

So for an introduction,

I make Labyrinths in and around Toronto.
