A History of Recent Twitter Migration to the Fediverse

1 month ago: Mastodon? No thanks. You have to have a Ph.D in Hackerology to use it.

3 weeks ago: I don't like this Mastodon... But if I have to... *sigh*

2 weeks ago: Wait. This does really cool things like let me edit posts. So genius. Is this free?

1 week ago: OMG! There's other apps! Now I know why there's a Fediverse!

Today: Comrades—let's fight for our freedom! Cast off the chains of Big Social!

@atomicpoet WAIT! How do you edit??

@sarahstankorb Ah ha! I see you're in your 2nd week on Mastodon.

On the message you want to edit, click the "..." button. A menu will pop up. Select "Edit". You'll then be brought to a compose box where you can make adjustments.

NOTE: this is only available on Mastodon 4.0 or later. If your instance hasn't upgraded yet, talk to your admin.

See screenshot.

@atomicpoet WOWOWOW! It isn't in the app, but if I go to browser, it's there. Thank you.
@sarahstankorb Just wait till you discover more 😃
@atomicpoet it's actually... enjoyable. Which is different.
@sarahstankorb @atomicpoet Hi Sarah, how are you doing today?
