Hi, I’m Shelia. I’m a Mom, wife, humanitarian aid worker, nursing professor, always Democrat, and EPCV- 2020-Swaziland. I’m here to escape the bird - allowing COVID misinformation to proliferate there was the last straw.#Healthcareisahumanright #Swazilivesmatter #lovebooks #PeaceCorps
Not OK.
Happy Tuesday!
@SncShelia Good morning Blue! 👋🏼🥶❤️🐻 so happy I found you here. I was trying to tag you on a TikTok video and couldn’t find you, asked Pugsy & she told me you deactivated. I get what you’re saying about the misinformation. It’s like a big free for all over there. I don’t know what Elon’s doing, but he’s been acting like 45. We need to figure out how to get everyone over here! I need to figure out if I can post TikTok videos here. ❤️

Yeah, I hate it when that happens. 😄

Hmmm, for some reason Mastodon is clipping the text on this photo oddly. Supposed to say:
I’ve told my cat a million times to stop opening inter-dimensional portals in the house.

Manspreading on a plane should be a criminal offense.
@SncShelia Hey Blue! I’ve been wondering where you’ve been. You left the birdy app! 😕
Aw.

Have you tried following someone and it says "pending"?

In theory this is meant to only happen when someone has manual follower approval switched on. If they have it switched on, there will be a padlock 🔒 next to their name on their profile.

However, "pending" may also happen if servers are overwhelmed and your request is in a long queue, or there is some kind of technical fault.

Don't assume someone is rejecting your follow if you see "pending". They might not even know it is happening.

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.❤️✊🏽
