Let's do #JoinMastodonDay on 9th of March!

  • Before: spread the word! Get to know Mastodon, choose a server, export contacts from 'other platforms', ...
  • On the 9th: Mastodon users write & boost tutorials and tips, share #Introduction posts, advertise servers, send invite links, ... and the Newcomers Come!
  • After: keep helping newcomers and sharing intro posts.

What say you? 😃​ Please boost if you're in!

an idea of @noellemitchell
inspired by @alexwild 's #LeaveTwitterDay

@noellemitchell @alexwild
⤴️​ Why the 9th of March?

  • J O I N
    10 +15 +9 +14 = 12; 1+2 = 3, so March
  • M A S T O D O N
    13 +1 +19+ 20 +15 +4 +15 +14 =116; 1+1+6 = 8 so 8th of March... But 8th of March is International Women's day so: 9th of March!

Also: it will be a week before #LeaveTwitterDay (15th of March) which will should be enough time for people to put their affairs in order?

@elduvelle @noellemitchell @alexwild unless you live in the rest of the world, in which case 3/8/23 means the third of August 🤣
@peteralee yeah, but that’s too far in the future 😅​
@peteralee No reason why we couldn’t have an additional #JoinMastodonDay on that date though!
