First impression: Mastodon is friendlier and closer to twitter's USP than twitter. It hasn't been ruined by 'in case you missed it' curated nonsense.

At the moment though it's a little more niche - until more like me switch

Oh, and I run the charity gaming marathon Sick Kids Save Point #sksp (nearly £120k raised for Edinburgh children's hospital since 2009)

Is it worth me setting up a Mastodon account for it too?

#introductions - Hi I'm a new convert from twitter looking for a timeline that hasn't been curated by a company telling me what I want to read about/buy.

I expect I'll be tooting about #Politics #Football #scifi #comics #videogames and other such nerdy stuff.

I live in #Dunfermline #Fife #Scotland
