🇦🇺🇺🇲 My favorite institutions are the public library & elementary school. Wholesome things make me happy.

@h2ouse Not exactly the same, but i recently found out some people very close to me are Autistic. I wish I had known much earlier. I would have been a lot more understanding over the years and there would have been fewer conflicts between us. I feel extremely guilty I used to judge them so harshly because i didn't know what things were like from their perspective.

To my new followers: You will experience delays as both a new signup (email delays) & an existing user (slow service; inability to load images, etc). It will settle down. Patience will be required. Remember, Mastodon is run by volunteers. It's not corporate & is still in the process of upscaling.

Mastodon is different. It's polite and friendly. There's a different code of conduct (please look up some of the basics), a slower pace. It's not a sprawling, hectic shopping centre in a grim industrial park on the city rim; it's a pleasant village street with artisanal shops and cafes. Take your time. Be nice.

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!
