@Saralovesyou 3rd year in a row it’s been attempted, everyone’s hopes went up… Maybe 3rd time is a charm?
Oh hi Mastodon. I haven’t visited here in a while but I just now tried to tweet something and Twitter told me I was over my daily limit of tweets. WTF?
I’m trying to follow along here, I really am, but I’m finding the lack of a good quote-tweet equivalent sort of suffocating. It feels like people talking to themselves, every post just a pronouncement into thin air. The thing that gave Twitter spark was the social element. Without a good way to build on (or criticize) a person’s ideas a lot of that is lost and it feels more like a strange blogging platform.

Hi, I'm new here, so I wanted to do a quick #introduction. I'm also @katybkoz

I'm Anishinaabekwe and mom of two amazing teenagers. I believe in collective solutions to oppressive systems, and I have hope for change.

For work, I'm a professor at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, Director of the Rural Health Research Center, and Senior Advisor at the Center for Antiracism Research For Health Equity.

@privilegejunkie so one one hand I'm not dealing with the racist + antisemitic trolls here. On the other hand I'm just sort of yammering into a void. It's a tradoff with pros and cons! 🙃
Just a note, gosh the n on the Twitter poll is way bigger than this one. Twitter is still the thing…
In case you are curious, I’m doing basically the same poll over in Twitter, but there’s more participation. https://twitter.com/rwidome/status/1608636999187197952?s=46&t=Tdnf0jcPc6FYtr7J7fCiOQ
