A reminder that Twitter was not made as you see it today. At the start it was literally an SMS frontend. It didn't have concepts like threads, DMs, groups, privacy (ha!), blocking, muting or any of that crap. ALL THAT GREW ORGANICALLY - at first just as conventions, later adopted.

We will figure out how to use Mastodon. And some of those ways will be adopted officially (whatever that means!). This is our place. We'll shape it. Give it time.

@TomF I am trying to friend LincolnWatchman I found him, but it says I have to enter my email/pword. I got an error message. I used what I signed up with toad. When I got my email verification letter, I clicked verify, and it took me to my page. So, what am I doing wrong?
