@MMourali good luck in your search.
I would counsel that finding interesting people and stimulating conversation in the modern era takes effort and patience, something that recent social media platforms have worked hard to reduce down to misleading headlines and 140 character counterpoints.

@wisearts #metatext is currently my go-to app and I'm very happy with it.
Although I'm new to Mastodon and so don't yet have a wealth of knowledge to know if there is better out there.

@curtismchale 'have to get up...'? 🤔🥴

@yzapre The key is to find an Instance (server) that appeals to you.
You can then switch between 'Home' (people you follow), 'Local' (Toots on the Instance) or 'Federated' (Toots ftom everyone on every connected Instance)

Maybe try starting here: https://instances.social

@MichaelJBernstein Good luck and let us know how you get on 🤞

My 2p worth for the day, contrary to what our leaders would have you believe:

Seeking asylum is not illegal. It certainly is not an invasion.

@GabrielaArguedas I think all of the servers are currently under pressure from the migration.

I am really curious how @briannosek's solution to the collective action problem will work out:

I am 100% in. My #NovemberMigration pledge:

1. Post new content only on #Mastodon (provide links on Tw)
2. No new content on Tw (except links to (1))
3. No retweet/reply to any content on Tw other than content related to #TwitterMigration

Like a big social psych experiment in the wild ...

Mastodon friends, I wrote a thread on Twitter that asks for commitments to three behaviors to maximize the chances for a successful transition of the community discussion to this platform. Please have a look and retweet it if you are willing to commit to the behaviors for November: https://twitter.com/BrianNosek/status/1587078444252274688

Okay I'm going to make a go of Mastodon properly. I'm following @briannosek pledge to use only Mastodon in November. #introductiontoot I'm a (senior) lecturer in veterinary science education, a new mum, a #gamer, #geek, and #author. I'm going to be doing #NaNoWriMo this year too so I'll try to not be too angsty and/or smug re my word count
@saeedwkhan it feels very 'brave new world'. That's comforting - the potential for good...for now.
