Let's work together to make Mastodon a success. Here's some simple things you can do to help:

-Pretend that other social media platforms don't exist. If someone mentions Twitter or Facebook, change the subject by looking up to the sky and screeching loudly.

-Make new users feel welcome by messaging them and saying "I would do unspeakable things to benefit you".

-Get the word "Mastodon" tattooed onto your forehead. When asked about your terrible life decision, you can explain what Mastodon is.

@erchanda @lowqualityfacts i’m not opening the spoiler seal on that one but i’m impressed/depressed you managed to get there from what OP said in a single turn

@lowqualityfacts
I would only change the tatoo from "Mastodon" to "Mastadon"

No regerts, right?

@lowqualityfacts People with foreheads too small for the word “MASTODON” can get a tattoo of an actual mastodon instead.
@lowqualityfacts sounds like a plan
@Dexterdy @lowqualityfacts don't forget to introduce your invisible friend #JohnMastodon to everyone you meet! I hear he's Snuffleupagus' cousin.
@RamenCatholic @Dexterdy @lowqualityfacts HEY. MR SNUFFALUPAGUS IS REAL! Nobody believed Big Bird. You owe him an apology.
@Holir_ @Dexterdy @lowqualityfacts invisible friends ARE real friends! Especially #JohnMastodon & Snuffy!
@RamenCatholic @Holir_ @Dexterdy @lowqualityfacts I gather you haven't seen Sesame Street recently. He's real now. Apparently having imaginary friends is bad.

@skribe as a Orthodox Muppetist, I believe this is a modernist heresy.

@Holir_ @Dexterdy @lowqualityfacts

@lowqualityfacts Pretty sure this is how some of my friends see me now.

@lowqualityfacts i still do use Twitter and very minimally Facebook.

i am very much pro-Mastodon since the 3rd party app software is now where i want to be and i have this sneaking suspicion both Twitter and Facebook will meet bad ends in the next 2 years.

@filmfreak75 @lowqualityfacts Jailbook very much lost its charm when they made the book part a trademark
@filmfreak75 @lowqualityfacts *looks up at the sky and screeches loudly*
@lowqualityfacts amending my answer -- after Twitter suspended my 15 year old main account for no reason and no response yet from my appeal, as of Saturday going dark both on Facebook and Twitter -- done with billionaire tantrums

@filmfreak75 @lowqualityfacts hey, me too... Twatter suspended me without good reason. 14 years then bang. Musk throws a wobbly and twatters gone fragged...

Time to lose the mega hyped socmed platforms.

@Twiteryeanot i had 5 accounts -- they suspended the main one for no reason -- on Saturday i have one last scheduled post for each announcing i am going dark and to come visit the corresponding Mastodon account

i tried to play nice since Elmo took over, but it's just not possible anymore

@filmfreak75 I've got other accounts as well, but I've not actually bothered with them for some time.

I'll be looking at one that have some followers from my main account yelling them to pass on the message that I'm going and they can find me here of the feel inclined.

@filmfreak75 I see my typos haven't improved by moving LOL
@Twiteryeanot i had three friends briefly move over -- one's instance shutdown, and the other two just could not handle no algorithmic feed -- i set up a new reply only Twitter just to keep up with them but my days of bulk scheduled posts to Twitter are over
@lowqualityfacts elon helps a bit now and then by making twitter actually disappear haha, and I wonder what happens if he ever sees through with his paid API access plan, all of the meme and shitpost bots and everyone's automation and what not will fall apart unless someone pays for each of those, it's probably a bigger problem than anything he's done with the platform so far
@lowqualityfacts I'm in. Where's the nearest tattoo studio?

@lowqualityfacts

I mean Twitter really might not exist by the end of the year.
So what's the harm in getting a head start on it?

@lowqualityfacts I am completely new here. A guy came and welcomed me. And the same guy helped me to fixe figgure why all the posts came at the same time. Im really excited about the fediverse.. and after many years of living in the Facebook,Twitter boardom Im very carful with worshiping just one thing. Cause Im afraid it will get comercial soon😅So I Personaly share the news about fediverse.cheers
@lowqualityfacts
We could run a class on creating filters for anything copied from the shitsite. Like using twitter.com as the filter rather than just twitter.
@lowqualityfacts I do the screeching thing already...
@lowqualityfacts ::grabs coat and hat; heads out to local tattoo parlor::
@lowqualityfacts been there, done that already ✅
@lowqualityfacts Please, edit and replace “Mastodon” with “Fediverse”
@lowqualityfacts PrÖÖÖÖÖÖöÖÖÖööööHHHHHHH :::DDDDDD
@lowqualityfacts Tatooed on my forehead? Sorry, my pain threshold is far too low for a tattoo…everything else though.
@lowqualityfacts The degree to which this advice has a strong quality about it is off the charts.
@lowqualityfacts Ill go with everything up until the tattoo bit 🤣
@lowqualityfacts - Abandon your settlement and disappear, leaving behind only the word “Mastodon” cryptically carved into a tree.
@lowqualityfacts I used to do a lot of unspeakable things for the benefit of other people back in my miming days.
@lowqualityfacts
I find putting my fingers in my ears and screaming "la la la I can't see your tweet" to be extremely effective
@lowqualityfacts
@lowqualityfacts Having only just recently joined social media in general and with the disintegrating reputation that Twitter, FB, and maybe some others have had over the past few years, I'm certainly glad that I chose Mastodon/fediverse over those.
Really seems like a nice place.
Think I'll stick around and hang a hammock or sut'im.
😁
@lowqualityfacts Also remember that Eugen invented talking on the internet
@lowqualityfacts tell people your safe word is Mastodon and then launch into an explanation when they ask
@lowqualityfacts We could also lobby Congress to replace the big two with Mastodon
@lowqualityfacts Booked my appointment at Gus' House of Tattoos. Gus said I was the 41st person to ask for this.
