New followers that are flooding in:

Hi!

There's hundreds of you. Many have elephant avatars, which is like an egg over on ​. Fill out your profiles. Say something about yourself. You have four personal data fields. Stick some pronouns in one, your web site in another, a couple other things you think are important in the others.

Write a bit about yourself in your profile. Things that interest you, things you love, things you abhor.

Look at your local timeline. Follow some folks there.

Write a post about yourself. Use the hashtag # introduction (space added so this doesn't show up in search). Talk about yourself, and what you want folks to know. People use that to find folks in their posse.

Search that hashtag to find other new folks.

Interact. Reply to other folks' toots.

Find your posse, ride out together. Overthrow the new world order.

Once you've done all that, feel free to check out my books. 

@mwlucas is there a Google translate feature like on Twitter (doesn’t seem to be)? I want to be able to follow what’s coming out of China
