Well, this is extraordinary.
I joined Mastodon this evening at the suggestion of my good friend @davidallengreen
David was very supportive when I joined Tw*tt*r more than a decade ago and he generously told his 250,000 followers that I was now on Mastodon.
Ever since then, my phone has not stopped buzzing. Within an hour, I had picked up 800 followers. And I haven't posted anything — yet. There's clearly a huge demand for this platform.
I'll write a proper introduction tomorrow.
