y'all, i think i figured it out ~ he was using voice dictation on his tesla phone and it translated "freeze peach" incorrectly ~ no frozen peaches have been harmed... yet ~ #mastodon #twitter #twittermigration #socialmedia #freespeech
I know it's an early #FollowFriday (for me in #Seattle, at least), but a must-follow is @oneunderscore__ - now on #mastodon. We follow each other on #birdsite, and I believe he just used something like https://movetodon.org/ tonight in the #TwitterMigration.
Movetodon: Finds your Twitter Friends on Mastodon

You can follow hashtags (click the torso-shaped icon in the upper right of the search results, after searching for a hashtag).

I follow #comics #comicbook #filmnoir #jazz #TCMparty #horror #horrorwriter #illustration #fantasywriter and a bunch of other stuff.
You can genuinely cultivate Mastodon to your interests.

Social networks need critical mass to sustain themselves.

Part of that is making sure this site has that critical mass by encouraging folks to come here.

Part of that is making sure bird site isn't a place where you provide free content anymore.

There's a good chance when you joined here, you cared more about the first of those as a hedge against bird site dying.

But if recent changes mean you want birdsite to affirmatively die, you'll need to do both.

#NoFreeContentForFascists

Alright, I'm new here, looking for a home away from Twitter. I will admit when I first installed the Mastodon app a few weeks ago I was very confused and ended up removing it.

Last night I tried again and was still confused until this morning when I started exploring the technology behind it. Now I am super impressed, giddy almost.

I am deep diving into the api and the sources on Github. I'm taking notes and jotting down ideas. It is great!
