Only thing I don't like about this so far: not knowing what it means to choose one mastodon server over another, and anxiety that I have chosen wrong for some reason I don't know yet. That said, I'm envisioning the Octodon as a many-armed furry prehistoric creature, which I rather like. And I don't *think* I'm having any problems with remote following.
@bradamant Me too. I spent a ridiculous amount of time dithering over the decision.
@bradamant I admire your commitment to a username. Usually just picking the name is my hold-up in registering.
@eenor My secret is just always using it without thinking, even though I haven't necessarily actively liked it since about 1998. Sometimes people think I'm a guy called Brad, and once someone tried to launch a line of bodysuits called Bradamant, but I had the username everywhere so they gave up after clogging my mentions for year or so. Ha!
@bradamant I can't believe somebody thought that was a good enough bodysuit name to spend a year trying to get it. Maybe they'd already worked out an amazing advertising campaign around it that no one will ever get to see.
@eenor And now I'm worried about my username! :P I took bradamant which I've used since the 90s but maybe I should have snagged Emily somewhere while I still could.
