The birdy place is turning really weird. Half the people I know are gone. I’m going to have to learn how to navigate this new world.

@kck The people I’ve been missing keep gradually turning up … so it feels more and more like home.

I’ve been pretty liberal with my follows, as well – so I keep running into new people/sights/art. I like it!

@randywalters yep me too. I loved the many lovely connections I made there. I still don’t know how to do a bunch of stuff here. I’m v techno useless You should see me trying to do stuff on my website. I would make teenagers cry…

@kck The core of my Twitter experience was always the people I followed.

I never used the website (I used Tweetbot) so I never experienced any of that forced algorithmic stuff … unless someone I followed posted or retweeted something, I never saw it.

Here on Mastodon, the “Home” stream works the same way. I see things whizzing by on the Local and Federated timelines, and sometimes (rarely) follow someone I see there.

I also check my old Twitter stream, and love seeing someone’s new address.

@randywalters my experience was the opposite. People followed me because of my name. The people who realised there’s more to me than that stayed , and I made some good twitter friends with all the baking /gardening/ dogs and jewellery making. I’m sure the same will happen here.

@kck I could not *believe* that last pair of cuff links you posted … they were gorgeous.

Alas, I don’t have any shirts that require them … but they made me want to!

@randywalters also is didn’t use a pseudonym because when I do talk about my Dad I have to have a degree of believability about my statements.
