There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about how to set up Mastodon.

1. You do not have to sacrifice a duck. Any waterfowl will do.
2. The bit about dancing around naked in a forest glade? While dancing is fun, you may just walk.
3. When the demon appears, you needn’t chant in Latin. It is fluent in all languages.

The rest of the guide is correct.

@jetton
About these steps to set up #Mastodon, there are variations for people who don't want to harm animals and people with disabilities

Therefore you can also

1. Draw/find a picture of the Horned God on paper and burn it
Or cast the image into Twitter, as that's already on πŸ”₯
2. Add fresh herbs to your next meal. Healthy living is an important part of the fediverse experience.
3. Schedule the demonic visit for when you have enough spoons and observe social distancing.

@srfirehorseart @jetton

Does it count if I drew the horned GODDESS instead? I wasn't sure πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

@CGBrooding @srfirehorseart @jetton I drew a horny Goddess and then got ummm "distracted"...

@Option1 @srfirehorseart @jetton

Didn't make it to step 2, did you Neil? No wonder your mastodon won't work right πŸ˜ˆπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

@CGBrooding @Option1 @jetton

This got a laugh out of me today.

I imagine that misinterpreting the steps might have some unforeseen consequences. πŸ˜‚

@srfirehorseart @jetton Sup with the Devil… long spoon. Got it. πŸ₯„

@Lee_in_Iowa @jetton

Long spoons might help. The more the better. πŸ₯„ πŸ₯„
It's worth a try!

@srfirehorseart @jetton I feel I should have known this before I decided to set up all those Mastodon bots. Now I'll have to cancel my bulk order from my local duck farmer.

Asking for a friend, though: How does one ghost a demon?

@jlobster @jetton

Q. "How does one ghost a demon?" πŸ‘»

A. Very carefully!

@srfirehorseart @jetton I always β™₯️ when people know the spoons reference. πŸ‘

@MorganWolfe @jetton

Spoonies unite!

But maybe a nap first, because pacing is important.

More tips for new #Mastodon users (I'm new too!) :fediverse: 4. Add a profile image & description, so we have a picture for your shrine. :ablobcatheart: 5. Burning sage to drive out evil spirits is only needed on the hellsite. :birdsite: Here you just Boost (RT) your favourite posts :boost_ok: 6. The Horned God has poor eyesight. To prevent your images being mistakenly viewed as an insult - add #alttext (captions) to your pictures #Feditip #mastotip
