Good morning from me and a visiting Australian King Parrot!
Hello all, here are the rules for going in to 2023: #NewYears
Happy New Year from NSW! #2023
This one makes me laugh every year… because it is so very true.

Dear reporters, news people, etc.,

The reason you're not getting any reach on Masto is because you need to interact. You just come here, post your news article, and don't engage with the community.

You will never get reach if you don't interact with people. This is not Twitter. This is not Facebook. If you want this platform to work for you, you have to become a part of the community, not just shout at us and leave. Forget everything you learned in the walled corporate digital gardens.

Locals alarmed as Queensland haven to rare tree species to be sold off by CSIRO

The arboretum was closed to the public in October last year and is being ‘vacated in preparation for divestment’

I choose cow
why call it bird site when ‘the fowl place’ is right there and a much better pun

My twitter followers are jumping ship. My engagement is dropping rapidly. They changed the algorithm to force feed me right wing accounts. And white supremacy, Islamophobia, & antisemitism on Twitter are being defended as valid points of view.

By contrast this Mastodon community is igniting robust dialogue, respectful disagreement, and offers little comfort to racists and bigots.

This is what Twitter could’ve been, and I’m really hopeful this is what Mastodon continues to be. Thank you all.❤️✊🏽
