I'm surprised there isn't a #maker themed mastodon instance...
Glad I finally joined my local (Decatur) #maker space. Looks to be a great resource and community. At the new member meeting yesterday I saw #3dprinters, a wood shop, electronics shop, craft supplies and even a #glowforge

I like that Twitch is a viable platform, and that people enjoy it - but I can't seem to find draw.

It feels like hanging out with a prep cook peeling carrots in a restaurant's kitchen vs. waiters serving the beautifully plated meal I came to enjoy.

For 2018 I'm busy setting up a youtube channel, pretty excited about it. I'll use it to document as teach myself about electronics. There's a lot of projects I'm looking forward to doing for the channel. I'm starting from zero, experience and knowledge wise, and happy about that for some reason.
I have a very urgent question! When one reblogs/shares/whatever a meep, what is it called? Is it re-meeping? Sharing a meep? reblogging a meep? I don't know!!! #meep4life #hashtag

TFW you hit "Back" on a profile and end up on a whole other site you were at earlier. https://mastodon.social/media/4258

ps @Gargron this is not an important bug

One cool feature about Mastodon is that you can checkout @Gargron's progress:

Not that I understand it, but that's neat.
Starting on a new network:
1. get your username
2. follow a few folks
3. support the founder https://www.patreon.com/user?u=619786

So far so good. It's really just messaging into the void until you have some followers, but that can have it's own value anyway.
Starting up in a place like this reminds me of all the features/details in a product as mature as Twitter. [shrug emoji goes here once we have emojis]
You gotta start somewhere.
