Baseball"Baseball" is a solid account name. I'm surprised to be able to get this.
MacJezza :white_check_mark: @Baseball utilize before the MLB wants it
logonoff@Baseball Good luck keeping that name
Mickey Mellen@Baseball That's the beauty (and bad) of this; if you find the right place to go, you can get any name you want.
Andrew Roach ✅@Baseball I think your instance is pretty young. I haven't seen many people on .network yet.
OTOH, I don't think anyone else is using the "baseball" handle on any server, so there's that, too.
@ajroach42 I chose this instance because it's on one of the biggest instances on the list. :sweat_smile:
Can the same handle name on different server? I didn't know that. It makes sense that I could get this account!

@Baseball Yeah, names aren't reserved across the fediverse, just across single instances.
Either way, there are only about 115,000 of us.
@ajroach42 Oh, I see how it works now. Interesting network service.
@Baseball I wrote some stuff up about it here: http://ajroach42.github.io/getting-started-with-mastodon/
If you're still figuring stuff out.
@ajroach42 Nice write-up. Thanks!!
@Baseball Also, FYI mastodon.network has 2,500 users. Mastodon.Social was sitting around 40,000 when they closed registrations.
2-3k is the average for the regular nodes.
@ajroach42 Right. .social was closed when I accessed it. That's why I chose .network.
So, .network is about the average number. Good to know.
