How to use Mastodon:

Step 1: Sign up.

Step 2: Do regular social media stuff.

Journalists: Only those with advanced degrees in computer science should even attempt to navigate Mastodon, the frustrations of its complexities will drive the average user to a state of hysteria.

@lowqualityfacts a good friend is a comp Sci guy, a professional software engineer, who "tried mastodon but didn't get it"

When pressed for more info, it turns out he had trouble siging in... because he forgot what server he signed up at.

I don't know how to help that.
