What Everyone Seems To Get Wrong About Mastodon (or What Mastodon't)

Let’s get this out of the way up front. Twitter is a massive corporation that recently sold for tens of billions of dollars. Mastodon (or, really, the Fediverse) is an adhoc collection of dozens of servers run on spare change and passion by hobbyists the world over.

@hyperreal @ajroach42 this should be pinned to everyone's profile!

With all the #Mastonewbies showing up, this can really be helpful reading.

To quote the author:
"Embrace the chaos, help people find a place to fit in. Or don’t, ignore them." These are words we should ALL live by!

Oh my goodness.

You posted that my first day here.

I wish I'd read it then, but I was enjoying the bliss and breath of fresh air that Mastodon is.

Thank you.
