I wish we had translation here. I can see I'll probably be speaking fluent French in a few weeks, but for now I'm struggling...

Meet The Strange New Mastodon Instance That's Cosplaying As If They're On AOL In 1997

Warum grünes Häkchen, wenn man einen Pinguin haben kann?

@plomlompom Vereine die Vorteile des Early Adoptens mit dem Willen zum Digital Detox (Kritikfähigkeit, Selbstkontrolle, nicht jeden Scheiß mitmachen)!

Endlich habe auch ich das grüne Häkchen. Wie ihr es bekommt, lernt ihr in meinem Mastodon-Einsteigerkurs für nur...

Is that considered weird I don't have any accounts on facebook, instagram etc.?

Let's see if Mastodon can be my first social network.

Mastodon and its userbase, like the universe itself, is totally ambivalent about my existence but this is I think ok. I shall just share nice things in the hope that I add to the sum total of this new online community rather than diminish.

This is literally where you go to toot your own horn.

As long as I don't know what to do on I just will post a daily degu picture of my degus.

Huddle from the rain in the awning of a Burger King trying to connect to the parts of the internet that are still Free, with the only real light being the warm glow of the panel advertisement of the consumer electronics store beside it advertising the latest iThing with a semi-electronic leg that I recent hard to try to fix because of my fall and tell me we aren't already in the cyberpunk future.

Habe eben einen Kollegen gefragt, ob er auch schon auf Mastodon sei. Er hat gefragt: "Was ist das?"

WIE JETZT, WAS IST DAS???

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

The antifascist tendencies of Mastodon are very encouraging. If we can keep 4chan/8chan/r_thedonald trolls out this would webshite has revolutionary potential #Sniff #AndSoOn #Toot

Mann ist auch auf Mastodon. "Natürlich bist du auf octodon und ich bin auf cybre.space."
Was das jetzt wieder aussagt, überlasse ich euch. @Isenhertz

sometimes when i'm thinking about authority and state coercion and freedom, i am reminded that i was (and felt) more free in Japan than in America but my husband, who is Japanese feels (but isn't actually imo) more free here.

we have more legal restrictions; they have more cultural and social ones (that didn't apply to me as a gaijin). i think.

Obligatory first toot - will attempt to stop smirking at 'toot'

Ich habe außerdem schon Französisch und Spanisch auf der federated timeline gesehen, aber noch kein Deutsch, das hole ich jetzt nach.

Jetzt müsste ich nur verstehen, was die federated timeline eigentlich ist. :thinking:
