If you're new here, and considering whether this space could become a social home for you:

Many of us have been here for a few years, since well before Threads, BlueSky, Spoutible, Post, Hive, Pebble, Cohost, Blurble, Blarble and Blorble.

We've made it through waves of user migrations, claims of imminent demise, and tech bros telling us we're doing it all wrong.

Years later, we're still here. Ad-free. Non-profit. Open source. Millions strong.

Stay a while. You might just like it. :)

@eloquence So far I'm enjoying it a lot, only been here less than a week but starting to feel a little cosy already. It took a minute to figure out how it works, I didn't grasp the fact that regardless of which server you're on, you communicate all over Mastodon to begin with, but that was probably the only hurdle during setup.

@craftycat

It's super weird and super cool once you realize that it works :-). And then a little less cool when you see some of the ways it doesn't ;-)
