First! πŸ˜€ Only. πŸ€”

Welcome to the new TWiT Mastodon Instance! It's like Twitter but open, federated, and dedicated to TWiT Fans. My new handle is @leo - see you there!

@leo - FUCK YEAH! Leo is my Nigga Love you man! ZDTV was the shit!
@leo I'm happy to see you are on mastodon! Welcome aboard. I would beg you please to not spam the fake "@twitter" links that other celebrities seem to like to do. Happy 2020!
@mnw I’ve been on mastodon.social for years. I’m just setting up my own server finally. I’ll save the spam for the bird site.
@leo Huzzah! I'm glad I was made aware of your presence then. Sorry for being so defensive.

@leo New Year, new Masto Instance. Glad to have seen @jonw post about it on Hackers.Town.

Thank you for the service, Leo.

@leo congrats on hosting a mastodon instance, glad you're Leo:)

@leo Hi! I found your id and instance through Twitodon. I've been muddling here for just over a day, and have been tweeting my experiences on Twitter.

I love it here on Mastodon, and am trying to present a soft-landing path for my followers on Twitter to come here and start interacting.

@leo

Congrats! Now set up a PeerTube instance to mirror your video content on and you'll be all set! Or feel free to use ours at tilvids.com ! πŸ˜‰

@leo hello. I’ve followed you before but have been messing around with mastodon and setting up my own instance. This is it (again). Hello sir. Keep it up! I’m still setting it up so still have a lot of default graphics. On to planetary……figured it out yet?
Since many people are rediscovering this toot I'll share @leo 's wonderful interview from 2008 about the very first Fediverse instance and software, two federation protocols ago:

And here's the first post on I guess the second setup attempt of TWiT's first fedi instance. The bleeding edge sometimes cuts you!

@clacke @leo This was a great interview!
@evan @leo Over the years I would go back and listen to that interview to feel that heady rush of a world of possibilities that existed back in 2008.

But now thanks to the erratic maneuvers in Billionaire Land it's really starting to feel like that again!
@leo Great to be on board. It was getting pretty bad over at that other place. You know. Was listening to TWIG yesterday and got caught in this thing you guys were talking about, Mastodon, and I like the idea of less stress. Need to learn my way around and hope I can contribute.
@leo hello Leo! Nice to see you.
@leo The OG Chief TWiT πŸ˜†
@leo I did it! My own instance! :)

@leo 2019... dang, I missed the curve on this.

YOU were the sole reason I even joined Twitter to begin with. Your story about using it to ask for help convinced me.

@leo Great to follow you and TWIT here.
@leo howdy and all that good stuff!
@leo I'm glad to see that your Mastodon instance is still going 3.59 years later.
@leo is this thing on? πŸ‘€πŸΎπŸŽ„
