I have barely used my other social media accounts since Mastodon came out.

41,703 accounts
+18,694 in the last week

This is shaping up to be not so bad a day. Starting in reading the next novel on the stack, got more pizza than I could hope to finish, and a shiny, new, much less toxic community to be a part of. Now to drag myself away for a bit and get some writing done and I'll be set

This feels more like #IRC than #twitter or #facebook ever did. #getonmylawn

No promoted toots here...isn't that nice? No 'who to follow'. No paid 'trends'. Organic af up in here.

REMINDER: Don't use the same password across multiple Mastodon instances, okay? I know it makes it easier, but... don't.

As you settle into Mastodon, be sure to learn the lingo:
- "toot": a tweet
- "tusking": starting a pointless fight with another user
- "woolly": going viral, as in "wow, that toot really went woolly"
- "extinction event": when a whole instance goes down

IMPORTANT!!!! MY FRIEND JUST TEXTED ME THIS PICTURE OF THIS GREAT DOG THAT'S FLYING ON AN AIRPLANE TODAY. He's going cross country he has big dreams.

The real value add of Mastodon is giving everyone an excuse to finally put something on all the weird domains they've been squatting

i'm in a universe where mister clean follows me on a decentralized microblogging service

Finding myself at a total loss for words so here's a #xkcd #cartoon https://octodon.social/media/cVFx8BEakyyS4Vjo68M

People who have accounts on multiple instances: what is the benefit?

Is this website's inevitable FarmVille clone going to be called TarVille or will it be a bubbletooter

if you can't handle me at my local timeline, you don't deserve me at my federated timeline

Ok guys, very funny.

#PSA go to <instanceURL>/web/accounts/1 to find and follow your instance's creator
