Jeff Jarvis@marcelias As folks will tell you, put your mastodon address in your Twitter bio and the programs -- debirdify, movetodon -- will find you. Also, I'd actively promote on Twitter the wonderful time you're having here. Convince them it's not hard. I hope this might be helpful to your friends there. https://medium.com/whither-news/on-joining-mastodon-d539eed5e41a

Qasim Rashid, Esq.I’m an immigrant. Protecting DACA is extremely important to me. If you follow me, I hope I can ask you to stand with me to demand Dems protect DACA.
Can I count on you?

Mike RiversoI cannot stress strongly enough that genocides do not start with death camps. That’s where they end.
No, they start with dangerous rhetoric that whips up violence against marginalized groups.
People like Walsh, Pool, Shapiro, Carlson, Raichik, etc. absolutely know this. They are fomenting a genocide against trans and queer folks, and it is working.

6 RAID is not backup. Make offsite backups. Verify backup. Find out restore time. Otherwise, you got what we call Schrödinger backup

Jerry LevineKEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!
Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?
Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.
Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).
So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!
But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!
OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!
Sheril KirshenbaumI bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?
Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.
Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.
Leavitt’s work is still used today. Next time you hear about famous men in #science share her story. #HistoryRemix
Meg MakerGood people! Especially newcomers like me 🙋♀️:
If you like something and find it worthwhile, boost it! 🚀
Boosting is the only way it will get wider audience and help the curious find one another.
Liking ⭐️ is lovely for the author but doesn’t help others discover it, because there’s no hidden algorithm driving our timelines.
Relatedly, make liberal use of #hashtags #️⃣ because they’re searchable and plain text (by design) is not.
Thank you and carry on!💥
I know there's a lot of competing services out there, but I'm thinking the best way to support your new platform of choice is to go full cold turkey on the bird.
