Guys, I *want* to write about other stuff. But, since no one else seems to be doing the debunking... I will explain why Elon is full of shit when he says that the FBI is paying Twitter to censor.

People are nice on Mastodon, and it's a deeply weird experience to not have to brace for trolls when I click send.

Okay. Migrated from masthead.social to mastodon.social. Meanwhile, here's the Substack on my decision to leave Twitter.

Dear Space Karen,
No thanks.
@JenSherm Well, hello there, cousin! Just stopped by to add ya!
Hi!! Welcome to Mastodon, @randyrainbow! Great to see you here!
*couldn’t publish it.
How are people uploading images here? I’m on the app for iOS and wanting to add a photo from my phone gallery. I finished typing the alt description info and the Publish button was greyed out and I could publish it. Having trouble finding info about how to do this or if it can’t be done. Any suggestions?

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?

Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.

Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!

@digby Now that the server is back up again, I was finally able to find you so I could follow you. Woot!
