The best thing you can do to ensure the success of #Mastodon is to share, share share. Share what you're thinking about, what you've been reading or watching. Boost posts you think others will enjoy too. And favourite posts to let the authors know that you see them & appreciate what they had to say.
Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.

The more you accomplish the more your #ImposterSyndrome grows because you feel a bigger responsibility to ‘get it right’.

Remind yourself that you only achieved things because you took risks. Risk means there’s a chance of getting things wrong. That’s the way. That’s only way to move forward.

Where have you gone, #JohnMastodon, our nation turns its lonely eyes to you, woo woo woo
As usual history has erased the truth. It was #JoanMastodon, not #JohnMastodon. She is the one who de-extincted the giant woolly beasts of the great plains using DNA culled from a single tooth! Joan rode upon the back of the greatest tooter of them all to San Francisco, where a herd of ancient Pleistocene mammals defeated the Bad Car Man! Long live Joan! Long live Mastadonity! #noxp

Christianity doesn't look like power,
it doesn't look like wealth,
it doesn't look like hate,
it doesn't look like violence,
& it often doesn't look like victory.

But it does look like Jesus.

One thing I wish my more fragile fellow white people in the fediverse would at least try to understand is that Black people aren't calling out racism for fun. They call it out because it hurts them, but also because they think it might change something. It's literally an act of trust and vulnerability.

When someone asks you to be better, it's because they think you have it in you to be better. Try to live up to that.

“Jesus: “Pray… pray, pray beseech the Lord of the Harvest - send more workers into your harvest!!

Complementarians: “Limits! We believe in limiting a woman’s ministry. Don’t let them do too much! Don’t let them soar too high! It’s not proper! It’s not right!”

Fifty. Percent. Of the church.” - Greg Hahn
