Tim Latshawmastodon continues to feel like the safest social media experience with the fewest blatant screwups.
Now if I just didn't feel so damned isolated on here.
Tony@tlatshaw mastodon’s lack of *some* algorithmically-generated content to get you started is the biggest barrier to entry, I think
@Tony That and the fact I had to start on an instance where I knew nobody.
Will Phoenix@tlatshaw To be fair I knew nobody at all when i started this. My friends would rather be on the unsafe social media then one ran by someone they see on a regular basis with the exception of Ben at Wax and Beans my local record shop Unfortunately these things take some convincing and take time. Id like to think im doing alright here but my social skills lack in real life with my ASD
I do however think threads will help with that regard as you will be able to follow people on there from here but of course id rather people had the full decent experience of #Cupofteasocial
@Whiskeyomega I don't meant to be so negative. I appreciate that you've given me a space.
@tlatshaw Dont worry at all. Just remember you're part of the future.
@Whiskeyomega Sorry to bug you again, but do you know how I access the cupoftea channel through the Mastodon app? I feel like I knew how to do it when I first got on, but now I can't find it.
@tlatshaw Ive only just found it myself as im testing the app . Its under the search icon and scroll along to local. Tusky does a better job of this IMO
@Whiskeyomega Thank you!
mew & mow (Lynx)@tlatshaw it's hard finding each other in the Fediverse due to there being so many different instances- ya gotta work harder, but it's worth it
