Ondřej PokornýFor everyone confused by the whole federation thing, trying to compare it to Twitter... Forget Twitter. Think e-mail. You can choose between different e-mail providers on different domains or even host your own server instance. Then you can communicate across those instances with other users on them.
No, it doesn't make sense to "claim" your nickname everywhere. Yes, you should choose the server wisely because all your data reside on that server without an easy way to migrate them...

Tyler RobbI love that I'm able to see more content in an unfiltered way from people I don't know. Twitter did this to an extent, but Mastodon makes it so much easier. I don't want suggestions or service-enforced curation, the rawness is refreshing.
🕐🕑🕒🤘It's the remix to Twitter, all those devs they be bitter, users rollin in content but ain't no ads up in hither. Gimme that toot toot. Don't gimme that tweet tweet
Just learned you can type emoji codes like in Slack?? :tada:
Ahmet Alphan SabancıPiece of advice from someone experienced with federated social networks:
*Every instance will have it's own rules and communities. Check that first to see if it's for you and respect those rules.
*Not every instance connects with all of them. Check that too.
*Some instances will have technical limits, mostly because they're run voluntarily or made for small groups. If you can, support the admins.
*You can find information about the above on home/sign up/faq pages. Read first.
*Be kind and enjoy!

Rob Campbell 🐙 (dormant)You gotta love the early days in any new social platform. People are nice and helpful and genuinely trying to help the thing succeed.
Let's make it last.
M37BWait, wait, everyone. If you're teaching someone how to use Mastodon, are you giving them a... toot-orial?
@Kaitlin a real life tooter!
OLD ACCOUNTreading a bunch of comments about Mastodon on tech news sites about how it "will never succeed" or will go extinct. Problem is, that defines Mastodon's success in the metrics of Silicon Valley VC. The point of Mastodon does not appear to be a growth -> exit -> brand vehicle strategy that Twitter has been struggling with.
I'm having a good time here. Isn't that success enough?
