@chancerydaily too bad it’s not easier to find people 😗 I was searching for someone yesterday who I follow on Twitter and I found 11 different instances of them, one of which was pending and the other 10 of which did not seem to be active. They all have different addresses! 🤷‍♀️

After 20+years, still learning how to think in new ways about future possibilities and how to help others do so, too. #foresight #futuresthinking

@joshtpm I just searched for you and found some other address… it took me a while to figure out I had to go to your Twitter bio to find this address. I wish Mastodon was easier from a UX perspective, and it was easier to find people via normal search practices.

@stavvers that was then, this is now. You apparently have a lot more free time than many of us.

Ugh, reposted something by mistake. I actually really dislike the post I just “reblogged” but there’s no discernible way to delete it from my timeline. The “stop complaining about Mastodon and suck it up, the Internet used to be much worse” attitude is beyond annoying.

"waah waaah mastodon is slow and glitchy sometimes, how can you bear it"

bitch I grew up with dial up. I scrolled endlessly through the hampster dance, half the jpegs broken. I spent an hour looking for and downloading a simple mp3. I waited my 54 minutes to continue watching a ropey stream of true blood with unsynced audio. I still use tumblr. you are like tiny baby

@vanessamason hey my friend. It feels like so much work to get used to all this! I’m inspired by your profile and introduction post 💚
