So glad I could use https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ to help me locate many of my #Twitter contacts here on Mastodon. I'm feeling much more at home here, after just Day 1. ❤️

I love how when you Boost something and the original gets edited, it notifies you. It gives you a chance to reevaluate your boost. I think it's a smart way to handle the edit issue.

edit 2,

yup, you can see history.

Pretty incredible to see the #Mastodon app at the very top of the list of free apps in the iOS App Store here in 🇨🇦. For reference, Twitter is currently #45.

If you’ve just signed up to #Mastodon in case of #TwitterRIP here’s some info I’ve pulled together for fellow newbies.

It’s got everything I would’ve liked to have known when first joining here, and it’s being regularly updated.

Mastodon – what is it and how do I use it? – Victoria Elliott

For Twitter folks who are brand new to Mastodon

Few pointers from a veteran of <checks notes> 2 weeks:

1️⃣ BOOST generously: If you see a Toot you like & want others to see it, boost (RT) it. Unlike Twitter, liking it does nothing for visibility

2️⃣ HASHTAGS are important, use liberally. They're the only way to make content discoverable by search

3️⃣ Use alt-text for images/gifs for accessibility

4️⃣ Err towards content warnings - not just for obv triggering content; helps keep feeds uncluttered

Musk BS poll asks, 'Reinstate Trump?"
Don't be fooled by the question.
Your vote doesn't matter..
Only Musk's opinion matters now.
Twitter policies developed over years to stop harm & ban those promoting violence don't matter now as long as he is the owner.

Is this power to decide worth $44B to him?
Apparently.

UPDATE: no need for further boosting. Thank you everyone!

My boss, Matt Mullenweg, the boss of Automattic, owner of Tumblr, is looking for ex-Twitter employees for Tumblr, saying,

"we're putting on a fast track to see how they can help super-charge Tumblr. We can't absorb thousands of people, but I'd be open to hiring entire teams if they already work great together."

“@levelsio @automattic In particular I'd say people leaving @twitter we're putting on a fast track to see how they can help super-charge @tumblr. We can't absorb thousands of people, but I'd be open to hiring entire teams if they already work great together.”

So this is happening
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!
