So, Mastodon. So far so good! I'm quite enjoying the experience and *starting* to get used to the interface and instances, the federation etc.!

Anyway, if you've come over from Twitter like me, even if just to test the waters, give this toot a boost (I know, makes me laugh as well) and let's all start following each other!

Oh, and drop a "hello" in here so we can all see each other ๐Ÿ˜Š
@LordArse Hello!! I hope this platform makes waves. Feels a bit like the old days of the Internet.
Now, let's see about getting BBSes and forums back...
@lunarloony @LordArse Iโ€™d love to see forums make a comeback. IRC servers and channels too ๐Ÿ‘
@gpowerf @LordArse IRC is pretty good! I do wonder if there's a market for a federated "rich" chat platform, though.

@lunarloony @LordArse we are probably the wrong people to ask given that we are nostalgic enough for old tech to start social media accounts exclusively to discuss old stuff.

Seems like yesterdayโ€™s news. But what do the cool kids think?

@gpowerf @LordArse If I meet any, I'll be sure to ask them ๐Ÿ˜œ
@LordArse Iโ€™m liking it too. I can see using this more than Twitter. Seems like what Twitter used to be.
@gpowerf Yes, it feels like Twitter without the bloat.
@LordArse Still dipping my toe in, but so far so good.
@balford Yeah, it's... okay. Taking some getting used to but, definitely getting there.
@LordArse I'm imaging the boost process somehow involving beans. (Different kinda toot, but still)
@LordArse I have no idea what i'm doing.
@WithnailMarwood ๐Ÿ˜‚ It does take a bit of time to figure out but in the end, it's not *too* dissimilar to Twitter. Give it a whirl, it's starting to grow on me.
@WithnailMarwood @LordArse itโ€™s not too bad. Itโ€™s much like Twitter, but decentralised.
@WithnailMarwood @LordArse just interact with someone or several people. There are no AI or algorithms so what you click on will be what you see. Just play with it. Have fun!

@LordArse

Just gave you a follow just about getting the hang of this place and starting to post some of my retro reviews and stuff up over the coming days.

@LordArse Boosted and followed!
@LordArse Came over earlier in the year, have been using bird site less since!
@LordArse I'm terribly confused and that's okay.
@LordArse Presses the Turbo Boost button "Punch it KITT"
@LordArse just joined seconds ago...
@Kimanda it takes some getting used to but I'm liking it so far!
@LordArse Been here a while, but still boosting to get the word out, as not every instance shares with every other one, plus I'm on the ultimate Fediverse service.
@LordArse It's a wee bit confusing but I think I'm getting there with it. The real pain is reconnecting with everyone in the retrogaming community to make it feel like home again, but it'll come in time I'm sure.
@JayCB64 @LordArse a small retro gaming community will form here. Itโ€™s been nice to see familiar names and avatars.
@LordArse Boosted, tooted and living large!
@LordArse this place seems nice~ high hopes for it
@LordArse I'm pleasantly surprised to see you here.
@LordArse hello! Good to see you, there is a growing retro community here 
@carbontwelve Hello! Yes, I'm really starting to enjoy it here. It feels like Twitter in the Wild West days!
@LordArse give the what a what??? LOL Oh I see! :D
@puttycad Yeah, it is a bit like that at first. Once you get used to the wording and the whole federation thing, it's a breeze!
@LordArse
Just spelling "arse" correctly wins you a follow.
