A reminder that there is an actual "Mastodon for Dummies" book available in physical, ebook and audiobook, from any good bookseller:

https://www.dummies.com/book/technology/social-media/general-social-media/mastodon-for-dummies-297020/

The authors are @chrisminnick and @workingwriter

A lot of people prefer getting their info from books, and this is aimed at them. I bought a copy and it was great 👍

Not going to link to a specific bookseller, but they all have it, and local bookshops will be able to get it for you if you ask them to order it! 📚

Unfortunately, Wiley is the same entity that tried (but failed) to get rid of First Sale with Kirtsaeng, and they're also party to the lawsuit that sued the @internetarchive for having the audacity to lend books during a pandemic.

I don't want anything to do with a publisher that takes such a maximalist view of copyright it won't even allow you to *sell* their books.
