Maybe we should just not talk about Mastodon. Like If there were a set of rules about some secret exclusive club somewhere, that'd probably be in the top 5 rules.
And for the record, this is not a comment on the latest round of folks to come give it a try. I recognize more than a few folks from bsky and am happy they're giving this a shot.
@the_etrain i honestly prefer my social media to be small spaces where i can shout my nonsense into the void.
@the_etrain the first rule of Fight Club is nobody talks about Mastodon?
@the_etrain would not want to belong to club that admits me as member (ducks n runs).
@the_etrain I can’t decide if I’m supposed to feel called out or if I’m supposed to make an ill-considered ‘Fight Club’ joke.

@maxleibman
Always make the ill-considered joke.

And I'm not talking about you or anyone else's posts. Just musing on the fact that irl I've told maybe 3 or 4 people about Mastodon, and one of them is my therapist.

@the_etrain The first rule of Fight Club is always assume everybody is talking about you.

The second rule of Fight Club is ALWAYS ASSUME everybody is talking about you.

@the_etrain

1. Don't toot about Mastodon.
2. Do NOT toot... about Mastodon.
3. If someone asks #ALT4me, then #ALT4you back
4. only nine hundred shitposts to a thread
5. no cross tooting
6. no racists, phobes, choads, reply-guys
7. shitposts will go on as long as you don't run out of hashtags, or until #moosecop is invoked
8. if its your first night at Mastodon you have to toot

@the_etrain Yeah, it's a buzzkill. Like taking mushrooms and then asking everyone if they feel anything yet over and over again
