Eugen RochkoIt's so beautiful to see masses of people switch to Mastodon / the fediverse. Big hope feels.
lashman@Gargron you can say that again :)
wish i could convince my friends to give it another chance, though :( sigh
Prav🦸@Gargron It is indeed a good platform. Would be grateful if you can follow me back as I have few suggestions.
ActivistWhile it's nice to have them in the #Mastodon #fedi, it's sad that they're all flooding into a node that is #centralized on #cloudflare. Mastodon.social is a poor choice because it's not trully #decentralized and it feeds yet another centralized oppressor.
Mastodon.social users should choose a different node. This is important before they accumulate followers, because followers are not portable when switching nodes.
@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @Gargron @lashman thanks for throwing some light on it. Will surely explore the others.

@Gargron okai temme... where do u get the name mastodon and toot
@DILIPDRAVID The name Mastodon comes from a prehistoric animal, which is a fluffy elephant essentially. There is a band called Mastodon which is where I learned about this animal from.
The word toot comes from the Mastodon community. There was a long period when things were called just "publish" and "status" and people were coming up with different things to call them.
@Gargron wow.. interesting.. and thanks for sharing😍😍 mastodon👌👌
vijaya@Gargron @DILIPDRAVID - good to know and thank you for sharing . Do you ever see #toots becoming #trumpets someday 🐘
@vijaya @DILIPDRAVID No, because of association with a certain president 😦
shirish@Gargron @vijaya @DILIPDRAVID Dunno if you have Ancestors:The Humankind Odyssey it's a game but many people have made a series of it. It gives all scientific names of people. I did see mastodon in there as well :)
@Gargron @vijaya @DILIPDRAVID I actually learnt a lot from seeing the game, for e.g. before homo sapiens, there were homo erectus, lucy and the others way before. Almost 8-10 species between ape to man evolution. Was pretty instructive :)

@Gargron so Mastodon means Mammoth?
@kshitijsrivastava They’re related but it’s a different species
@Gargron ohh..cool, had just started to read about them on wikipedia 😄Nice trivia.

Charlie@Gargron Hi there
Is there an issue, should I see federated toots on my local scroll, galore at that?
Just wondering.
Cheers.

@gazeshift Federated and local toots on federated timeline, local toots only on local timeline, both (but from people you follow) on home feed.
@Gargron Of course, but suddenly there is a flood of the federated ones on my local timeline. That's why I was a bit puzzled.
@gazeshift Those are local toots. If there is no second @ in the name, those people are on the same server as you are. "Local" as in "on the same server" (mastodon.social), not geographically. In your preferences you'll find language filtering options.
@Gargron Cool, thanksmuch.
@Gargron unless you suppress the sane voices and mastodon doesn’t become a platform for hate and bullying
@Gargron
I havn't used it much. I like that it is more of a people's social connection arena with no agenda for currency making. I still use FB but only on a PC with Opera 'n' VPN. FB status tells me it has no location for me using it through that. Currently I am not using any Google Apps. I have a Google Android Phone but not signed in and am interested to make a more neutral phone.

@Gargron but where the hell are our earlier notifications feed ?
@Nadiim I'm confused. You can scroll your notifications as far back as you need.
@Gargron no bro it's not working and not showing my last day's notification too.
wakest likes your bugs ⁂
Faisal@Gargron wish your board best time ahead
Papa Shark 
@Gargron Keep rocking!
Razia Sultan (Bebeembop@Twit)@Gargron how many have switched since last week?
It was an easy decision, 'cause i found here no hate, no people who are trying to tell me, what to post and what opinion i should worship.
I found a nice community in helping each other, open to all questions and so i named this ... my comfort-zone 😊
Abhi@Gargron thank our @Venkypawanism11

@Gargron you've built a fantastic thing ! Thanks :)
Arnold Sommerfeld@Gargron I've been using it for 2 days and I must say that it feels super snappy and the UX has been great so far. Superb job!
ses1978@Gargron I am testing the waters here. If all goes well, I would like to send information about your site to Alabama Power, Disney, AT&T, and Directv to get them to switch to over here for customer support services. Journalists should all be switching to here!
@Gargron please boost me.
Tim Chambers@Gargron Signs of things to come.
