Hey, if today's Twitter nonsense made you decide it was time to come over to Mastodon and you're thinking "holy crap, it's slow!"

Yes, it is - it's happened with every big wave, and the admins have gotten it sorted out quickly, so be patient, things will speed up.

And welcome!

#TwitterMigration

We've got #FollowFriday and #ThrowbackThursday but how about the other days of the week. Here's a few suggestions:

#ShoutOutSaturday : Send out a shoutout to someone deserving
#SupportSunday : Help someone out
#MastodonMonday : Celebrate this place
#ThinkingTuesday : Share some original thought. Start a discussion.
#WeirdnessWednesday : Let's bring some unexpected joy back every week.

Unfortunately I have to stop actively working on #Metatext for a while due to health issues. I really wish I could implement Mastodon 4 features and squash every bug, but it's not possible for me to do so right now.

I know the app has become important to a lot people, so I'm open to a new maintainer who can carry on its values of privacy and accessibility taking it over if there's interest and a fit. Email [email protected] if you (or your organization) are interested

One of the best features of Mastodon is the ability to #mute *specific* posts.

Bored of seeing the same meme being boosted into your timeline again and again?

On the web interface, click "…" and then "Filter this post".

And, as a bonus, it doesn't go to training an algorithm!
