There are people on this platform who want no politics.
We didn’t move over from Twitter to talk about kittens everyday.
We needed a place to carry on our work. To carry on fighting injustice, racism, misogyny, antisemitism and anti-LGBTQ hate. Because these things are important no matter what platform we are using. That was the whole point of our #twittermigration
We don’t have the privilege to be quiet.
@SpockResists I keep trying with Mastodon. But I can't get any traction here :(
@ChristineDantz Just keep engaging Christine. Always remember that every single voice is important. Your voice here is important. Find accounts you want to follow and reply to them. It’s the same as Twitter in that the more you engage, the more traction you will see my friend. πŸ––πŸ––πŸ–πŸ––πŸ–
@SpockResists Thank you. I spent years building my profile on Twitter, just for the #ChefTwit to destroy it :( #DemocracyMatters #NoNazisHere

lt took me 13 yrs to gain 2500 followers & I was proud of that (I only broke 1k at the start of last year!), but like most of us, I’m starting over. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

One of my first #Mastodon #toots (on another server) was that I hope it doesn’t take another 13 yrs to gain 2500 followers! πŸ˜‚

@KaysGramma @ChristineDantz the question is: why focus on followers? Here, focus on interactions. πŸ₯°
@TinCanWin @KaysGramma Because I figure you need multiple people in your feed to see things in your feed ...

@ChristineDantz @TinCanWin @KaysGramma

Follow hashtags of things you are interested in and you can meet people posting about those topics. Plus it helps fill up your timeline with cool posts. Just beware if you follow #CatsOfMastodon your timeline will be like 50% cats. πŸ˜‚

@sunnywillow @ChristineDantz @TinCanWin @KaysGramma Actually, your timeline will be 50% cats every Saturday no matter what you do.
@Lee_in_Iowa @sunnywillow @ChristineDantz @KaysGramma I'd wager 50% every day, and 75% on Saturday...😸
@TinCanWin @Lee_in_Iowa @sunnywillow @KaysGramma I find nothing wrong with that! Although I'd love some of my animal sanctuaries and zoos from Facebook here ... I have to find #AltYellowstoneNatPar ...
