The mastodon stages:
1: getting used to the interface
2: discovering that most people are just people, engaged in everyday adventures, big & small
3: the allure of the notification sound
4: a gradual getting used to the fact that not everything is about US politics, and that it's okay to filter it out on a macro level
5: a quiet moment when you think "there can still be poetry in this world"
6: some sort of reconciliation with the quantum magic that is the federated timeline
7: pineapples
@sargoth Yeah I'm literally coming here to get away from the constant political talk. It's important but it's taking up WAY TO MUCH brain space.
Here I just wanna joke around, make friends, and talk about silly shit.
@ErykDonovan it's important to rest & recharge every once in a while
the brain was not built to be in 100% serious talk mode all the time
@sargoth For me, it goes all downhill starting from 2: or 3:, no idea which.
Due to several radiation levels I often see myself, I'm on an eternal quest to take refuge on my own instance.
And if not Mastodon, then Pleroma, or even having to implement ActivityPub myself from scratch, from zero.
then you are actually secretly at stage 7
you know you don't get it, and that is what's to get
we all don't get it, fren
it okay
I don't get it either*

also, if you want to get streets ahead of the crowd on what not to get
start not getting sledbonk
and you'll see the return on your misunderstanding investment ^_^
@sargoth
also if some prefer a different interface, there is no reason to try to get used to mastodon.
One can just choose any plattform that is part of the fediverse
there is
#hubzilla
#gnusocial
#friendica
... and more
