The #fediverse is a fleet of interconnected ships, many of which were built by the #mastodon shipworks and in the past two weeks the fleet has doubled in size while going warpspeed.

The interstellar wind is shaking the whole place up tonight. Hold on. Hold fast. We're gonna get through this.

Tip your server admins, and be kind to newcomers.

Thanks! (boosts ok, paying it forward preferred)

@phildini we’re #BeckyChambers’ Exodans, is what you’re saying.

Fair.

@evilrooster I... I don't know what that is 😬

@phildini @evilrooster it's a good analogy, and you need to read The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet

(because I recommend it to everyone I like, not just because that's what this is a reference to)

@phildini sweet. Ok. Exodans are humans from the Exodus Fleet. The billionaires fucked us, and now we have to learn to be a society again.

A longer definition: Earth became essentially uninhabitable, so humans cobbled together the Exodus Fleet and set out, unready but having to go. Then rebuilt human culture on the way.
