i've been on mastodon two days and the number of strangers to @ me to explain instances is in the double digits

this place can get in the sea

how am i supposed to curate content on this site when idk what the fuck the local or "federated" timeline is about?

this is like twitter fucked reddit i don't

whispers loudly into the void

i am O V E R W H EL M E D

instances only weird me out because you have to like... re-sign up to every instance?

i would have thought you could have the same account across instances a la subreddits, but i guess not?

which is wild
