@davidaugust can't see how this is going to appeal to advertisers. Over a weekend is not the best time to expect the views of marketers but from Monday morning ... who knows?

Back here. The other place is a worry today. Home I can enjoy being here.
@LadySG @MarilynPF I agree! All advice here welcome! Such a long time since I started my journey in the birdie place!
@MarilynPF sounds like you are giving good advice here! Thank you!
MarilynPFSomeone gave me great advice when I started here. Don’t be a wallflower, just scrolling through your timeline. Boost the posts that made you stop a moment. Say hello to others. You’ll be an “old-timer” in a few days. Don’t just follow all the same people who are like you. Use your filter to not see topics that wear you down. Visit other countries through their photos. This place is what WE make it. Let’s build a real community. #newbies #welcome
ianhillmediaWelcome to the #journalists who are new to #Mastodon through the #twittermigration! Some #tips:
• Add a photo and bio, then write an introductory post with the #introduction hashtag.
• Use an app like Debirdify to find your Twitter followers and follows on Mastodon.
• Check out this Google sheet for other journalists to follow: http://bit.ly/3hOsHBD
• Know this isn’t Twitter. Don’t just push out links. Mastodon is a great place to chat and network with other journos!
Emma KennedyTop tip if you're using mastodon on your mobile, there's an App called Toot - you do have to make a small one off payment for it - but it's much better than the official app. Super user friendly. Migrants from the Bird Place will find it more what they're used to.
Chris TrottierEDIT: DO NOT BOOST!
This post is nearly a year old, and boosting will simply spread misinformation. Mastodon now has substantially more funding, and has enough scale to handle its many users.
I would delete this post but my server is not letting me so I'm editing this to reflect that I wish for you to NOT BOOST!

Right now Mastodon is only receiving appr. $21,000/month through Patreon.
This is not enough to handle the 1 million new accounts that will be made this week.
Currently, only 4,720 patrons are donating to Mastodon.
However, if everyone chips in $2/month, this will ensure the continued survival of Mastodon!

Carol HedgesAt a cost, estimated by the Cabinet Office to be up to £180,000,000 per decade, this law to force people to bring photo ID to vote is an expensive distraction from the problems the country faces. Add your name here: https://ers.tools/voter-id
