Trans rights are human rights.

Black lives matter.

No human is illegal.

Love is love.

Their body, their choice.

Science is real.

Kindness is everything.

Make sure general nerdiness, tabletop roleplay, and other related pursuits are the kind of content you want to see in your timeline.

Our values obviously align, but our interests/hobbies might not. No hard feelings if you unfollow. 😉

I hear new people noting how chill, tolerant, and pleasant Mastodon is.

Mastodon isn’t chill or tolerant or pleasant. It’s a tool… a foundation on which to create and maintain a culture.

It’s those who’ve been on Mastodon, run servers, and served as admins who did the hard work and created the culture you now enjoy.

Now, it’s your turn. The only way it stays tolerant and chill is by us doing the work to keep it that way.

A good example of, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

For anyone looking to migrate Mastodon servers and keep your followers AND your follows, blocks, etc (you can’t move posts, alas), below is the best step by step guide I’ve found.

There’s two steps to move over everything but posts and lists. First, you export your following list (plus blocks, mutes, etc.) for import into the new account. Then you create an alias that moves your followers over/points to your new account.

Some thoughts:

I understand that the transition will take time, but I really hope the copy-pasting of Tweets will not become the norm here.

Mastodon requires another type of posting and bringing Tweets into this space is not ideal. I don't want to consume Twitter content and left Twitter for a reason.

As everyone familiarizes themselves with this platform, I hope this practice will stop. For now, not boosting recycled Tweets because I'm passionate about building a new space.
