Dr Siouxsie WilesIt's been lovely to start connecting with people on here. I'd forgotten what it's like to use a social media platform without being threatened and abused. Now I'm off to make a cake for a very special person.
Sara Passmore@SiouxsieW yah!
Axylotl@SiouxsieW Welcome to the sane place :)
Stephen Hill@SiouxsieW great to see you here!
NZChineseGenealogy@SiouxsieW A photo of the cake would be nice

Here's the cake I made this morning for my friend's birthday. Gluten free carrot cake

Welcome to the fediverse @SiouxsieW !
Glad to see you're having positive experiences so far, but it's a good idea to acquaint yourself with the moderation tools before you need them.
Here's an intro to the basic mod toolkit you have as a user:

@[email protected] #ProTip: take time now to acquaint yourself with the moderation tools: * Report posts you find inappropriate (reports go to mods on your instance and theirs), * Mute Conversation you're not enjoying, * Mute users you're finding annoying, * Block users who are stalking you so they can't follow you. Most people you'll come across here are awesome, but that's because we have those tools (plus instance-level mutes/blocks) and we're not afraid to use them when needed. #FediTips

@SiouxsieW Welcome. I'm so glad not to see any abuse raining down on you here. After you worked so hard to save our country, I think you need a lot better treatment than that. Good to see you here. But don't tell the trolls where you've gone or they will follow!
Phil Stevens @stealthysail @SiouxsieW Let them try. The beauty of the fediverse is that we have decent, effective countermeasures to keep everyone safe.
alien8@SiouxsieW yeah you can mention the c word here and you don't get jumped on.. . :)

SandyMamoli@SiouxsieW Glad to see you here! For you and also because I usually learn a lot from your tweets.
Lee@SiouxsieW Its lovely here
Central & Western Archive/GLAM@SiouxsieW Mลrena! So glad you're here.
Trev B@SiouxsieW Welcome Dr Siouxsie . I've always been interested in what you have to say (along with Michael Baker and Sean Hendy) . I hope some of the "noise" you're use to having to deal with has lessened . Would be interested in your thoughts on immunocompromised and chemo patients under the current regime. Is enough being done to protect them, or are they all trapped and risking just going to a shop ?
Peter Ashford@SiouxsieW it's lovely to see you here and I'm really happy to have a chance to say how much I appreciate you have done for NZ and the wider world regarding covid communication. You're a good egg, Siouxsie - never doubt that you're making the world a better place.
