The blastwave took me here. Trying to figure out the post bird world.

Yeah so I haven't really stuck to any birdsite replacement.

It really got its hooks in me. Maybe logging back in elsewhere will help.

Learned a new thing today, there's no functionality to list what hashtags you followed in a mad dash to get some content and maybe reconsider what you want in your feed.

Mastodon works differently to Twitter, so heres some tips:

- Favouriting something tells the poster you liked it, and it shows up in your own Favourites list. It does *nothing* to tell others about it - there is no algorithm here!
- Boosting tells your followers about a post. You can boost AND favourite, and you should probably boost more than you retweeted on twitter!
- You find stuff using hashtags, so don't forget to use them!

(Copied from a useful post ive seen copied a few times!)

I think I'm enjoying the vibe on Mastodon so far, but I realise that I've just come in on a wave of new users and the culture is going to be warped by that influx.

This is going to be an Eternal September...

I’m beginning to see quite a few “this is a positive space, there is no place for negativity here” style posts (especially by newer folks) so I want to hopefully clear something up:

This is also a space to be protected. From fascists, bigots, etc., and also from corporate capture (unless you want to watch it turn into what the greater web turned into. Some of us lived through that once. Would be nice not to again.) Opposing such things—and vocally if need be—is not a negative; it is a positive.

It's midnight, so I'm arbitrarily going to promote my band. Maybe check out this track and if you dig it, consider grabbing an EP or two.

Träskkungen, by Bong Coffin

from the album Swamp-Kings and Sunken Citadels

Bong Coffin
Picked up a solid 3.5 hrs of overtime just overseeing Windows patching. I am not sad about this.

I guess an #introduction is in order?

I'm an IT guy in #Adelaide but honestly I don't like talking work. My online interests are much more extra-curricular.

I'm a #Vocalist for a #DoomMetal band called Bong Coffin - I also write all the songs and record all our demos, which are up on our #bandcamp page.

I have dabbled with #TTRPG content and wrote an expansion for #morkborg called Qvke Borg, based after my favourite PC game. That's published under the name Bird Silhouette Games, and I'm also part of a co-op called the Bogfolk Cafe where we intend to publish a bunch more cool RPG stuff soon.

I also buy too many #Warhammer minis and paint them to an... acceptable standard.

Basically I'm a giant #nerd and intend to share stuff I'm working on with some general musing about whatever.

We got any other #metal #musicans on aus.social?

I'm the vocalist and songwriter for an Adelaide-based doom band called Bong Coffin. Would be cool to connect to some fellow riff-wizards out there.

If you want to check us out, there's a link in my profile.

Okay. I can edit my posts.

That is revolutionary. Maybe you'll convert me after all.
