Hi, recently joined. I am a left leaning Aussie and have an interest in dogs, craft, travelling, improving life for next generation. I also like politics but not obsessed with any particular party. I follow back and would love to build my account. Have a great day and feel free to tell me about yourself.
Happy Weekend friends, have a great day. I hope you have something wonderful planned for the weekend.

#COVID19Aus

TBH, this seems worse than having the road blocked by climate activists for a few minutes.
Good Morning everyone, it’s a cool morning today and after the rain yesterday the sun is wonderful.
Today I’m taking my little man Jax for a checkup and to make sure he is all set to go to South Australia and Northern Territory in a couple of weeks.
Have a great day and I would love to hear what you have planned. 🥰

It is vile how the response so many people have to “we’re still in a pandemic that’s killing and disabling lots of people” is to say: “those people were sick and/or old” and then go on to imply or outright state that makes it acceptable and “normal.”

People really don’t understand that they’re going to be sick and old at some point? And that when they are they will still be people who have rights and lives?

This guy did 3 x 10 minute videos. They saved me months of learning when I joined in November.

This site is all about hashtags to search for topics.

But following people also works like the other site.

Setting up your browser is important (as shown in the videos).

But if you live on your phone there are tons of good apps that have the same functionality. I use Tusky for Android.

The Filters are great for blocking content.

How To Mastodon - Pt 1 - The New Social Social Media - Bye Bye Twitter!!

YouTube
People having abortions won’t affect your life. Gay people getting married won’t affect your life. Trans people existing won’t affect your life. But people owning AR-15s sure as fuck will.

Here on Mastodon, I see ongoing discussion of #Twitter and its woes, the destructive antics of its deranged owner, its declining reliability, and its impending doom.

Yet I have a feeling that all this is invisible to my many friends who continue to use Twitter as they always have, in their own communities, disregarding the ugly ads and promoted tweets, and not noticing much of a change.

Am I wrong?
