If you come to the #fediverse to seek fame, rethink your objectives.

Place isn’t built for that.

If you come to #mastodon to seek community, you’ll be doing much better.

If you come here to be as simply and authentically yourself as possible under the circumstances, you’ll be just fine.

Kinda cool to find others I didn’t know I’d want to find and that others who didn’t know they’d want to find me do find me.

@Aphrodite well said 👏​

Tired of needing to be less than authentic in my life generally.

Here’s it’s just easier for me to be as authentically me as I can be than on commercial sites that want to data mine, categorize, minimize, and dehumanize.
