@Annela @Yoshi Thanks so much, both of you. “Giant party” is such an apt description that it will probably be a while before I do more than wave at everyone coming through the door!

I’m wondering if y’all can help me build a community of trans people of colour on the tag #TransPOC as i miss the wonderful people i knew on a different animal themed app.
After seeing reports of racism and bad moderation I guess i’m just trying to find my people. Boosts very welcome.

@NYSloth Thanks!
@nyc2msp I love #Oakland. It gets a bad rap.
@nyc2msp 15! Can you believe it?

(2/3) My existing social media accounts have been mostly lurking/read-only for many years, partly because it seemed like some folks preferred a quick Like over genuine conversation, and partly because I felt appalled and helpless about how a lot of other folks are treated in online spaces. I've since taken Online Bystander Training from Glitch (UK) and Right To Be (US).

(1/3) I'm an Aging Unix Hippie, originally from California, now living with my family in Minnesota. I work for a financial services firm and am studying for my Microsoft Azure AZ-900 exam.

Enjoying Mastodon? Your instance may be straining right now with all the new accounts as folks flee the capricious dictates of a mad billionaire tyrant.

Running an instance costs money, and there are no ads here to help pay the bills, so try to kick in a little support if you are able.

Click the "About" link in the lower-left corner of your screen, then look for a "Funding" link!

This is a shameless plea to boost this appeal for more followers. I know I might not replicate the 115k follower count on my “permanently suspended” #Twitter account where I’ve posted for 14 years. Engagement is already much better here and so far it’s devoid of trolls. Your feedback to my polls here clearly show a desire for me to actively post news and 95% say I shouldn’t take down my @elonjet tweets as demanded by the other platform for my account to be reinstated there.

Oh this is too good. Since Twitter is now blocking Mastodon links, someone has created a link shortener to hide them. Gotta love the URL:

Free speech really should be free. To bypass the new censorship regime at twitter, use this URL shortener to link to Mastodon or other censored destinations. Considering recent policy decisions on twitter, please be aware that use of links generated from this site may constitute a violation of their policy.
