Are there any HIV+ support networks on this server or otherwise? I could really benefit from it.
So what is the tech.lgbt vibe here. What are we doing here. Why don't any of the #lgbt #gay #queer hashtags not work here. Why am I chewing gum from 1985. Why doesn't the hashtag work correctly?
I'm trying to migrate from mastodon.social to tech.lgbt to spread out some of the server load and I like the moderation over there a bit more, but I'm getting this error. Any ideas? I tried my alias both with and without an @ before it. #mastodon

@Supertran he's here! joined today! @popehat

Why do all the Democratic candidates for office send me text messages like the worst breakup I've ever had in my life.

"I can change! I promise! Give me another chance!"

"I'm desperate!"

"I can't live without you and I need you so much! I can explain everything!"

Even despite the dumbest emails and texts sent from the DNC, I am still voting for Democrats this election, and I urge everyone else to vote the same.

@Pwnallthethings @mmasnick comparitavely speaking, the signal to noise ratio here, at least this early, is like 100:1, if not even better. no ads, no noise, no mass-scrolling political asshattery, no ads, no surprise-your-timeline-is-not-in-chronological-order-anymore ..

One more thing. We all need to remember that Mastodon is merely one server in the Fediverse ("Federated universe").

There are millions of users on other platforms you can follow, too. It's just not super-easy yet. But it will get easier very soon. The developers now know there's a real market here. So get ready. It's a new day. Thanks Elon! <smirk>

My takeaways from Mastodon today.
I spent a few hours this morning following people and a this point, I feel like I have a decent feed. 
I have some other accounts on some smaller servers but they are just being crushed by the demand that load times were unavailable, so I’m using this instance for now.
I used to have an alt on Twitter just to deal with trolls, but maybe I don’t need that anymore? I’ve seen a few trolls and I’m waiting to see if content moderation actually works here.
