Enigmatic. Textbook enigmatic. Pro-democracy. SoCal. No party preference. I like nerdy things and some sports ball. Part of the Twitter Disaspora. 🇺🇲

#Thanksgiving dinner w/ my Trumpy, anti-vax, Joe Rogan-loving family will begin shortly.

Pray for me. 🙏

New Users, if you're on the official Mastodon mobile app Stop 🛑. It does not show all the views and confuses most new users. For Android I would suggest Tusky, for Apple I would suggest Metatext or Toot. #NewToMastodon

We have decided to create an account at Mastodon. We need time to learn how this platform works but also how to synchronize our work here with the Twitter account.

Thank you all for joining us here. No matter where we are, the mission stays the same. We are in social media to commemorate the victims of Auschwitz and educate the world about the tragic story of the camp.

So this is happening
Mastadon really needs a few regional instances for #SouthernCalifornia. Are there any out there that I've missed? #Fediverse #instanceChoice

Look at this. In 2020, Herschel Walker called on Biden to take a mental exam to determine if Biden was fit to hold office. Now Walker refuses to do the same.

Please read and share my latest.

Herschel Walker called on Biden to take a mental fitness exam. But he won't do the same.

With his history, the GOP senate contender is a good candidate for such a test.

For those wondering, Mastodon contains no “web3” or crypto technology, and significantly predates any of that. The technology deployed here is primarily ActivityPub, which has roots in tech like RSS and PubSubHubbub.

It is noteworthy that “web3” designs are absent from the Twitter emigration discussion; that’s because it’s a scam and not fit for purpose.

The minute people start talking about adding crypto to the fediverse, run. That’s not what this is about and violates its spirit and design.

And the award for best #mastodon #introduction of the day goes to...

Look. I’m here because I’m too ugly for Instagram, too interesting for LinkedIn and have too much disdain for my extended family to use Facebook.

So you're just getting started in Mastodon huh?

Here's a neat thing. On the web interface you can search for a Hashtag.

Same as you can on Twitter.

Something like #Ukraine, for example

But on the search results, see that little user icon on the right? Click it and you'll follow it as if it's a user!

New posts with that tag will arrive in your home page, even if you don't follow the author yet
