There are people on this platform who want no politics.
We didnโ€™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 donโ€™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. Itโ€™s the same as Twitter in that the more you engage, the more traction you will see my friend. ๐Ÿ––๐Ÿ––๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ––๐Ÿ–
@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, Iโ€™m starting over. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

One of my first #Mastodon #toots (on another server) was that I hope it doesnโ€™t take another 13 yrs to gain 2500 followers! ๐Ÿ˜‚

@KaysGramma @ChristineDantz the question is: why focus on followers? Here, focus on interactions. ๐Ÿฅฐ
@TinCanWin @KaysGramma Because I figure you need multiple people in your feed to see things in your feed ...
@KaysGramma @ChristineDantz @TinCanWin I wrote a post about the other site 13 years ago and it still holds true. The value is on who you follow, and not the other way around. And youโ€™ll find that if you follow interesting people, interesting people follow you. :)
