Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone here in Mastodon! My name is Majid Padellan, but most folks know me as Brooklyn Dad Defiant from the bird site.

This is my #introduction: I like democracy, voting rights, equal rights, education, the environment. Also like old (and new) TV shows, love movies, comedy, big comic book nerd, pizza and Buffalo wings will be my last meal.

Also like not being swarmed by thousands of nasty trump bots, so this space feels nice. Thanks for the warm welcome!

@mmpadellan

Good to have you here, sir. The #Resistance continues strong and fierce as ever.

@Ody @mmpadellan welcome to Mastodon! Happy to see a familiar face.
@mmpadellan so glad you are here!

@mmpadellan

Ha, ran across you on my timeline. MAGALeader from Twitter

@mmpadellan welcome to the Fediverse! Continental breakfast includes all you can eat waffles, bed turn down service is at 9, and we ask our guests not to feed the Mogwai after midnight

Great to see you here, Majid! I asked trvmp what he thought of this platform, and he replied; "I think it's great and I agree: everyone should give mas to Don..."
@mmpadellan SOOO HAPPY to see you active on Mastodon! Please if possible at least cross post all your Tweets as Toots (TOOTS are more fun that TWEETS anyway!)
@mmpadellan we're so glad you're here!
@mmpadellan Change is hard, but unavoidable. I’m happy you’re here.
@mmpadellan yay! All my friends are coming over! Welcome!!

@mmpadellan

Beyond happy to see you here, what a great voice you’ve always had!

Best!

@krisSacrebleu OH SNAP!!! KRIS!!! I haven't seen you in forever! 😭 I recognized your Dune my Thang and said waitaminute! So glad to find you again!
@mmpadellan @krisSacrebleu For me, it was like spotting a golden pendant on the horizon.
@mmpadellan
And I'm glad to see you here, BDD. I followed you on the bird site and I'm slowly "getting the band back together" here. Welcome aboard. I actually like it better here, it is more interesting and has a healthy variety of people and topics. Read some tips from the original members so we don't end up colonizing the place that already has an established society. Like Cover Wraps aren't just for nudity, it's considered polite, preface political posts use USPOL so folks have a choice.
@mmpadellan I’m so happy to see you here! You were one of my 1st followers on the bird app. I love reading your comments & remember listening to your β€œstory time” back in day. Welcome!!
@mmpadellan I’m so happy to see you here!
@mmpadellan πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ yeah man WELCOME ✌️✌️✌️
@mmpadellan
Saw your sage comments often on the #birdsite, I expect to see your wisdom often here also.
@mmpadellan - Hello! Canadian who's been following you for awhile. Feels comforting to have social justice / resistance folks here that I had been following on the crumbling hellscape.
@[email protected] your hereI was hoping to see you. Welcome Brooklyn Dad.
@mmpadellan finally!!! I’m so glad you’re here!!
@mmpadellan Dude! Finally! Welcome to Mastodon. John Mastodon will be very happy you're here now.
@mmpadellan I am very happy that you have landed here!
@mmpadellan used to follow you on that other place, great to see you here
@mmpadellan Yay! So cool to find your account on Mastodon! I'm shocked at how many twitter accounts I followed have made their way over here.
@mmpadellan glad you joined! I left the tweet place a few weeks ago and have missed you.

@mmpadellan

Welcome here, too.

But which of you us the real deal?

Counter...has over 2k followers already.

@HistoPol The one you're conversing with right now is the real deal. I'll have to check out the counter one, because I tried to join a month or so ago, and I gave up...perhaps that one was my failed attempt. Dammit. I'll let you know. If that counter one has been posting, then it definitely AIN'T me, because I just figured out how to do this in the past 2 days.

@mmpadellan

Thanks
Good to hear from you again. πŸ˜€

(Elmo purged me last week...he didn't really like my comments about Chapter 11 and his rents...)

@mmpadellan glad you are here. Followed you there. Glad to follow you here. This is a much nicer space. ❀️. Welcome
@mmpadellan And you are AWESOME!! We're followers back on the bird site, and I will follow here too. WELCOME!! ❀️
@mmpadellan Welcome, glad you made it here
