oops - learning my way around the new playground, testing the CW feature :) feel free to drop me any tips on this platform ~

@cmoz I did exactly the same thing. Just made sure it was a completely safe image. πŸ˜„

You can turn it off again in further comments if no longer necessary but obviously dependent on topic/content. Err on the side of keeping it on.

@kaybee335 Ok thanks that's great to know. I'm enjoying learning more about these fun features!

@cmoz it's different. Lot of people are trying to treat/use it like that place. Or just plain confused.

I've learned that, when unsure, just ask. If it's a common thing you'll likely get a pretty quick answer from those you follow already. If you have a real poser of a question, it will get boosted and spread further.

You don't get πŸ”₯ and vitriol in responses here.

#hashtag the question so it can be FILTERED‼️

After a week and a half I like it much, much more.

@kaybee335 Yes, great insight. This is a much more community and positive place. And I didn't even realise how bad the ads made the other experience! It's refreshing to be talking to people again! I'm the same, prefer it so much more. It's exciting to connect with others again - not just passive scrolling.

@cmoz I am definitely having more 'conversations' here.

Feeling comfortable exposing a bit more of actually who I am, rather than 'trying to get attention'.

Thinking more about what I post before I post. I'm proofreading more carefully. Thinking about how people can avoid my stuff if they want to. Or maybe just one of my interests (ie. BBQ).

It's just a flat out better place. Wish I had come sooner. But there's a good chance there may not have been 'enough' before #TheInflux

@cmoz
And I had never realised how much having to leave my stupid typos for the Wayback Machine really, really bothered me!
πŸ˜„

@cmoz hah! Got it! πŸ’‘

People are people here, not masks that only let you see a portion.

That's what I've found anyway. Likely because it's the type of people I like to follow.

@kaybee335 True. And that's also the beauty of being able to select topics or servers for interests. I feel like I can find people for all interests and conversations.
@kaybee335 Haha I love the edit feature!!
