@necrosis yup, I'm nothing if not predictable in that way ;)

So I've opened a few more accounts on a couple of other instances; it's very cool to see the different culture and user bases at each.
For one of them, I imported my follows from here. For the other two, I've been hodge-podge-dly building a new follow list by finding some people I enjoy already, and new people found on the other local and federated instances.
If I keep going like this, I am not sure if I'll fragment myself or if this is a good way to experience different sides of this medium.
@smays omg I was wrong -- I created my account in Feb 2007 as well. I just checked. I'm number 796155.
@smays I've had mine since April 2007, and I loved it so hard for such a long time. This feels, to me, so much the same as early Twitter did; and I still feel it's useful to me, just in a completely different way than this is.
@Carrie I completely understand and sympathize.
@Carrie there's something about the lack of expectation on what people post that has encouraged my inner monologue to become audible.
@smays Mainly FB and Twitter, although much more Twitter in the past months.

...also, Mastodon is encouraging me to do things that I already wanted to do:
* learn languages (French, Spanish, Danish, Gaelic)
* brush up on my CSS & JavaScript skills
* learn languages (Angular, Ruby)
It has encouraged me to write introspective posts. It has made me laugh out loud at the sheer cleverness of others. It has been a safe space to show up as 100% me, non-curated: just me.
