Thank you to all those who followed me here, or came along out of curiosity. Am still figuring out the system and may #toot a little less frequently in the beginning, but hope to improve as time goes on. May create a #VegBiryani instance as I grow in confidence
@sanjayuvacha
Welcome you are.
Few days back discussing the same with Rohit Alex and your topic popped up. Good to see you here. Following.
@sanjayuvacha We all are here to express our support for you. Just few days back, I had no idea about mastodon. I will do everything in my means to promote this platform as a voice for the suppressed.

@sanjayuvacha

Divided by distance, but united for getting #VegBiryani it's rightful place!

@sanjayuvacha anti #vegBiryani group is also joining here Sir, looking fwd to some delicious thread 🙏
@Jaini wussup Ichiban?
@Bloodyatheist not much, business as usual
@Jaini
Good to see you here!
Remember me? Grumpy stewie😬
@sanjayuvacha more power to you Sanjay!

@sanjayuvacha

First Toot to a celebrity Sanjay Sir

Who needs Twitter now 🤣

@sanjayuvacha Are you sure the twitter action is not cause of this blasphemy called veg biryani that you promote?
@sanjayuvacha glad to follow you ...I joined Mastodon to protest against twitter not agreeing to #RestoreSanjayuvacha
@sanjayuvacha welcome sir. Was missing you for several days.
@sanjayuvacha veg.biryani comments will be welcome
@sanjayuvacha We do need a #VegBiryani Defence here, Sir. Or @girishNaught will bulldoze all #VegBiryani fans.
@sanjayuvacha Welcome came here after seeing @naukarshah @prasanna_s tweet about the logout of twitter in your support & suppresion of dalit-bahujan-minority voices..... still not yet loggedin ..... but in the matter of #Biryani we #hyderabadis will unite & #toot once and for all that "Veg Biryani is not Biryani"...... @biryaniguardian
@sanjayuvacha Money cant buy everything, especially people's will... This move is for all the same voices that are doing their wee little bit for the Idea of India and trying to restore the sanctity of our constitution... so here I am too, right behind you and many who will show @twitter, that it is as good as the company it keeps.
@sanjayuvacha aapko twitter se dhoondte dhoondte yahan pahunch gaye , keep the good fight going
@sanjayuvacha call it Pulav.social. not Biriyani 😀

@sanjayuvacha

🤦‍♂️

#BiryaniDialogues

If!

If you insist on your #VegBiryani we are going to raid you soon with ....

@jamewils
@ashlinpmathew @godavar @girishNaught

And

A little bit of beef in my life

A little bit of mutton by my side

A little bit of fish is all I need

A little bit of #VegBiryani is what I see.

@majchowdhury @sanjayuvacha @jamewils @ashlinpmathew @godavar @girishNaught

Major @majchowdhury - What is this #VegBiryani that they speak of???...   

We know that there are only two kinds of Biryanis -

1. A non-veg biryani that's made with Chicken
2. A non-veg biryani that's made with Mutton.

Period.

@sanjayuvacha
We may have followed you here, but the VegBiryani Sanhar Sena is wayyy ahead here !! 😂
@sanjayuvacha me too.. Literally but Not that literally 😝
@sanjayuvacha Sir, any update on the case you were planning against Twitter?
@sanjayuvacha amazing how you're giving it to them chief.
@sanjayuvacha
You are becoming a symbolic 'Che'..many are curious about Mastodon, due to your Twitter protest..May the social justice tribe increase here, away from vicious xenophobic RW hate 👍

@Indiechomsky @sanjayuvacha

Thank you, @sanjayuvacha Sir, for refusing to delete a tweet and starting a revolution in #India.

@Indiechomsky @sanjayuvacha never give up spaces to fascist bigots. take back the space and give nothing away
@sanjayuvacha Happy to see you here Sir
@sanjayuvacha This is my first toot. Hope it's the right word. Sorry state of affairs on Twitter. Too much violence.
@sanjayuvacha Welcome, feel free to ask any questions related to #Mastodon or the #Fediverse in general!
@unicorn @sanjayuvacha is this the same unicorn or unicornwings I encountered on twitter or a different one ?
@shirishag75
That is not me, I don't have a Twitter account anymore :)
@unicorn how do I dm you ?

@shirishag75 Depending on what app/interface you use, there should be a post visibility setting when you write a post. It may look like a globe/earth icon, just switch it to a different one like unlisted, followers-only or direct.

This is what it looks like in Tusky:

@unicorn I am using browser, on Debian testing, firefox 62, looking for a way to set up the profile better and also be able to do DM messages. Am able to DM messages to old friends and such but dunno about others.

@shirishag75 You should be able to do that by just clicking on the globe icon, not sure what is your issue 🤔

I checked in my Firefox, also on Debian Testing etc. There is the same button as in Tusky for setting post visibility, as shown above.

@unicorn I think you misunderstood the question. For e.g. if I wanted to DM i.e. direct message you, how can I do that ? I don't see a way to do that ? or you need to follow me so that we can DM each other ?

@shirishag75

You can just write a toot (tweet) including @unicorn and set post visibility to direct, then only I can see it.

You can also do this for several people by just mentioning them all in the toot.

So if I just post a toot with @shirishag75 and set it to "direct" then only you can see it :)
