Hi Mastodon! I'm trying to rebuild my business here because Twitter is bad now, but I need help sharing it. I'm a jeweler! I specialize in fused glass and particularly Pride designs. My work is available at https://www.nora.jewelry/

Welcome #NewUser
If you are coming from Twitter, you understandably may feel like it is a lot quieter here. Mastodon is not "dead," but there is no #algorithm bombarding you with stuff. Here you develop your own user experience by searching out and following people and things that interest you. You can pretty quickly build a much more satisfying experience, but it takes a little effort. Following #hashtags is a good way to get started. Be patient and join in conversations.
When this is over, we're going to owe Musk a debt of gratitude for demonstrating not just the folly of relying on sociopath billionaires to give us places to speak and collaborate.
He's demonstrated the danger inherent in all centralized services where one person or company can control what we say and do.
@dell @[email protected] @corbin see if Wired will set up their own instance. It's not even hard to do.
The only people who would be on it would be reporters. Who needs a dubious blue check when you have the whole site?
If someone leaves they can take their account with them...
So, Twitter 
decided to pull a DeviantArt move and change its Terms Of Services to include anything you post there on their AI dataset, to re-publish your art and benefit from it without your consent or compensation.
TIME TO DELETE YOUR ART PORTFOLIO ON TWITTER
I will only leave my contact information there, nothing else.
