♥️ Welcome to the Mastodon network of federated servers (aka the #Fediverse).

I’ve been here one week. Interested in #fedilaw, #heterodox economics, #Corruption, #bankinglaw, #SCOTUS, #TaxJustice, #progresssive policies, #poetry, #knitting, #nonfictionbooks, #humanism, #theater, #irony, #shakespeare, #GenX

Feeling like Julie McCoy “Your Cruise Director.” #askmeanything

@jentaub thanks for spreading the word. You’re the reason I joined!
@jentaub So be honest... who was better, the doctor or that rodent guy?
@Eamon1916 @jentaub
Between the 2?, has to be Gopher, he was always more of an above board fellow :)
Overall, Issac. You need a drink or 2 to survive those scripts🚢
@jentaub Thanks for boosting people, I am following just about everyone you have rec'd :D
@jentaub Ooooo just popping in to give the #GenX hashtag some love. Thank you!
@jentaub morning. Thx for pointing the way. 
@jentaub what does the star vs reblog mean?
@Dahlialith @Mimirocah1 @jentaub so fun to see all these familiar faces here! I am phone banking for Sean Casten as we speak. Multitasking at its finest…:-)
@Mimirocah1 @jentaub reblog is kind of like retweeting, it puts the post in the feeds of your followers. Star tells the author & others that you like the post, but unlike a "like" on Twitter, it does not boost or promote the post into the feeds of your followers.
@qwosl @Mimirocah1 @jentaub I prefer that. A “like” should be a private engagement between you and the author, IMO. Leaves the choice to share with your followers to you. And makes people more comfortable engaging.
@jentaub That's a Love Boat reference for all the kids out there, lol
@jentaub Thanks for directing me to many of my favorite follows. Grandmother who gave us all homemade mittens every year never could get me into knitting, but otherwise a list I appreciate! Love listening to you with Mary weekly.
@jentaub Welcome! I’m excited to follow you here and continue building a new community 
@jentaub Another app-v.-website conundrum. I cannot log in on the Mastodon app, with the same credentials that work fine on both desktop and phone websites. “Invalid Email address or password.” Is this a known issue? Thx.
@dkmarsh @jentaub I had a hard time with that too, then went back and got through! Might be necessary to log in via web first. Then open app and just type in the server (or whatever it's called) you used; in my case mstdn.social. Then below you'll find it "listed" and so select it... then you should be in!
@jentaub
Just joined. Still on the bird for now.
I’m happy to find some familiar accounts.
@jentaub Hi, Julie. I am going to follow you on this ship now. If at anytime you get annoyed with me, just point me towards Isaac. 🍺🍸🥃

@jentaub I followed you here and you're my first! I'm not overly-posty anddon't clog up feeds. Could I talk you, my first, into reciprocal follow? Raaawb & Taub? Howzabout!

P.S. - Why couldn't some smart person have gotten, say, Tooter.com, uncomplicated with "servers" - and then we could just start Tooting to heart's content?

An unofficial guide to using Mastodon and the Fediverse

@jentaub Hi Jen-
I’m new to Mastodon & just synced up my Twitter & Mastodon accts, but I don’t know how to find a list of who I’m following here on Mastodon- if there is a way to see that. Curious if you know how to do that?
@jentaub #askmeanything can we make this place better than Twitter?
@jentaub so excited to see you, Jenn! Actually you’re one of a few reasons I wasn’t sure if I should leave Twitter or not. Now verdict delivered
@jentaub just wanted to say, I had never really taken Masto seriously until I saw you embrace it, and your links and posts on it have been real helpful to me, thank you
