Well, here I am #mastodon. I never thought the day would come, but I've decided to join a different social media platform.
To be honest, I'm really sick of #twitter or #x (whatever) and all the bullshit that happens on that shitty site. Even though most of my memories and followers are over there, let's see how this goes.

Howdy, a couple accounts that will help you get up to speed with the Fediverse and Mastodon:
@FediTips for all kinds of helpful info, be sure to check out their website linked on the profile
@FediFollows posts threads of interesting accounts to follow based on a theme (ex: astronomy). And there's a website on that profile that has collated those accounts so you can find some people to follow and get your feed going right away.
Hope you enjoy it over here, been here since Melon first made the offer to buy, killed my Twitter account the day it was announced the deal was done, haven't gone back since and don't miss it. Get more interesting interactions here than I ever did in the decade I was there.
@lane_ass_jenna You are welcome 🙂 I didn't delete my account but I deleted everything the site would let me, every tweet and retweet I could, gone. I haven't logged into it in 2 years now and I recall them saying they were going to start canning accts that didn't have activity so I wouldn't be shocked if mine was dead by now.
I did delete my FB acct at the same time though. I'm done with any place whose owners are willing to platform fascist fucks. Soon as FB said they were giving Mango Mussolini back his account I told my friends I was out. Sadly few followed suit and joined me here. But that's ok. My principles, sanity, and mental health take precedence at this point. I can't even watch that Orange DUMBster fire on mute. Sick of seeing his damn face.
Fediverse isn't perfect, to be sure. Anyone can make a server so there's a fair number of trolls and there's some moderation issues across the place that need to be addressed. However, moving to this part of the social media universe has removed some of the anger inducing stuff from my life, so that's an improvement.
