Just been on The Other Place - aka birdsite - chatting to lots of people who are coming across to explore this new space.

Big hug to you all! This is fun! 

@mikegalsworthy poor poor bird app ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
@mikegalsworthy It *IS* fun. I keep saying it in random places, but it's how the internet *used* to be with talkers and IRC and usenet and a sense of "it's ours" - big mega-social-sites trying to keep your attention to serve adverts have taken an awful lot of that fun away and I've only really just twigged.
@mikegalsworthy itโ€™s like the heyday of the FBPE again!
@mikegalsworthy it's a learning curve for sure first day on mastodon
@mikegalsworthy great to see one of the ByLine crew on here! I wasnโ€™t following anyone ByLine on birdsite, I just watch the Friday show #bylineTV
@mikegalsworthy gonna take a little while to get used to here, but looking good so far.
#FBPE #FBPPR #GTTO #ProgressiveAlliance
@mikegalsworthy Being here is a shock to the defence mechanism I've become used to wearing, like a shield, on the other site. For years I logged in, prepared for battle! Not healthy.
@mikegalsworthy HELLO Mike.......how nice to see you here
@mikegalsworthy good to see you and so many others here 
@mikegalsworthy Taking a gander. Thanks for sharing your contact to follow ๐Ÿ˜Š
@mikegalsworthy It's fun, but a bit weird starting all over again. Hi everyone ๐Ÿ™‚
@mikegalsworthy I like it. I like it a lot. And it's all community-based. I think it's incredible. #FBPE #GTTO
@mikegalsworthy I left that place due to the abuse and unnecessary rudeness and lies spread. Looking forward to hearing facts and interesting stuff.
@mikegalsworthy Iโ€™ve found two mikegalsworthys here. Is this one the best to follow?
@mikegalsworthy I was a passive observer on the birdsite - and thought it was time to observe here instead. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the documentary.
@mikegalsworthy Canโ€™t remember twitter being this much fun! Certainly not for a very long time.
@mikegalsworthy if you can persuade them to put their Mastodon alias in their about info on twitter, then folks can use debirdify to find them on here!
@mikegalsworthy I'm loving it. It is a kind of healing place. A healing process. I had no idea how much I needed this.
@mikegalsworthy So good to see you here, impressed how quickly you gained followers!
@mikegalsworthy My notifications are overheating my phone today!!โšก๏ธ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
@mikegalsworthy just signed up based on what you said on the billionaireโ€™s hobby project.. still figuring things out
@mikegalsworthy Oh nice to see you are here too. This feels like the bird place of old, innit? :)
@mikegalsworthy am new here but itโ€™s exciting to find you all on this site (but am still trying to figure out how to use it).
@mikegalsworthy I'm looking forward to seeing more familiar friends in here.

@mikegalsworthy yeah the new frontier

So much more pleasant

@mikegalsworthy
I deleted the bird site a few months ago tried a few others that I didn't like rejoined and found it more negative than ever then saw everyone leaving for here , so joined yesterday and wow what a difference it's fun again like the old days
@welshmand7 It is fun, isn't it?
@mikegalsworthy it is fun , last time a site had this feel was my yearbook that used to be a laugh until new people joined and spoilt it they turned it into a dating site .
@mikegalsworthy thanks for the welcome. Trying to navigate all this newnessโ€ฆ.
