Ok, that's it! I'm going to create an instance called 'Babs' & Maureen's Tearoom.'
Slice of cake and a cup of tea, anyone?

#BabsAndMaureensTeaRoom

Co-educational literary societies in the 1870s-80s enabled men and women to discuss and share ideas.

People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!

So, the introduction thing. I’m an emigre from the bird platform, interested in #SpeculativeFiction #Fantasy #SciFi #MedievalHistory #OldEnglish #TerryPratchett #NeilGaiman #AlanMoore #Hauntology and pretty much anything related to 70s and 80s popular culture.

2) Pics if possible
3) Link to how people can purchase.

Citizen Value (1971-1979)

In 1971 a local government survey revealed that the citizens of Scarfolk were, by and large, content. This was of great concern to the...

Okay #Folklore tribe, I have decided I am going to have a crack at creating a #mastodon instance. It will be small at first, but if I can rouse the community maybe we can get it al going.

What do you think: thefolklore.cafe ?

I see Mastodon is straining under the load of new arrivals today. I would encourage those folks to be patient. It will get better. This is a decentralized network run by volunteers and not a $44 billion dollar corporation (on the verge of imploding).
