I'm reading @sarahjeong's story about Mastodon and completely relating to her description of twitter addiction.
"Is the Merriam-Webster dictionary subtweeting the president today? I wish I knew, so I could pretend to not care. I am scum and don't deserve mastodon.social. But here I am."
Jumped on Mastodon based on @sarahjeong article. Quasi-serious nerd (ubuntu user, etc) and I still find it all to be a little confusing. (I picked an instance at random. Can I change? Do I bring my name? etc). Googling hasn't turned up a great faq that goes beyond the initial "getting started" qs. Any recs?
