@caesoma One step at a time
ergyrase@mads100tist made the same joke the other day 😂😂
@ergyrase Great minds something something
Miranda Lynch, PhD@mads100tist I'm definitely feeling a bit this way. But still glad to be here. The discourse is so civil. And focused on the science. We are going to be okay, I think!
Elise Cutts@mads100tist I don't know I'm kinda happy about it haha. I feel way more comfortable posting total nonsense here somehow because it feels more human to me somehow🤣
@elisecutts that's very true tho
@mads100tist I'm really curious to see where this goes... I hope that human feeling doesn't go away. For the meantime just doing my best to not be more annoying than is unavoidable to the people who were already here.
Lacuna Doloris (compbiobryan)@mads100tist I'm obligated to mention that the salinity of the water in the bags must be totally different from that of the sea, but these are mostly saltwater fish.
techbits@mads100tist This is painfully accurate.
Contingently i-RON-ick
Haley Sanderson 
@mads100tist I'm hoping my following from Twitter ends up finding me on here. I have like 6 followers so far which is kind of depressing lol
@Haley_Sanderson_092018 we all started with 0 followers. They will come!
Danny (he/they)@Haley_Sanderson_092018 I'll listen in for a while 
I'm trying to figure out how to organize my feed with the influx of new people. What sort of people were in your Twitter following?
I'm trying to figure out how to organize my feed with the influx of new people. What sort of people were in your Twitter following?@danwchan bioinformaticians, molecular biologist, microbiologist, guinea pig lovers, economists...a nice mix of people :)
@Haley_Sanderson_092018 sounds like a nice mix. Did they mostly find you via Twitter or some other way?
With the influx of new people I've been thinking about how I might want to reach out to my school friends throughout the ages and see if they want to sit on an instance with me.
Your mention of guinea pigs triggers a memory of this video. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=bq9ghmgqoyc

@danwchan yeah, most them I've worked with or I've found over the years on Twitter.
@Haley_Sanderson_092018 well the instance you're currently on seems new and open if the community standards are good then you should invite them over to join you :D
@danwchan I've been trying to but some people are holding onto Twitter till the bitter end. I'm sure they will eventually move over here. I don't mind if I get a new following either. :)
@Haley_Sanderson_092018 mmhmm oh actually you're not on a new instance... I thought I found you via mastodonscience.com but that was that madscientist fellow who commented on this thread. hmm interesting. I love learning about different instances through the people on them. How do you like the local of social.linux.pizza?
@danwchan It has been good. No real complaints but I also don't know what I'm doing so...lol
@Haley_Sanderson_092018 have you seen https://fedi.tips/ they're the guide I point to when folks say they don't know what they're doing
I think as long as you're going slow, interacting with the stuff you like, filtering out the stuff you don't, and reporting the stuff that's bad you'll find a place on the fediverse
@danwchan thats what I'm trying to do and so far it has been going ok. :) I'm definitely taking it slow.
Ondine Cleaver@mads100tist exactly lol
Gemma Reguera@mads100tist 😂 perfect visual
Anne M (She/Her)@mads100tist *everyone on Mastodon right now
Amanda Finley Digs All Things
edrews.eth@mads100tist Now we wait for the celebrities I guess? What are we supposed to talk about without them?
@edrews cats. Pictures of cats. And dogs.
Tiffany, Sigh-D
Kelisabeth@mads100tist This made me snort laugh. I think this feeling is shared by every newbie to Mastodon.
