Now I just need to find out how to move over to @tenforward.social
Ah, finally, @guinan is in #tenforward again - geez, how I miss hanging out there.

Since the topic of choosing/migrating to an instance has become more and more important here are some sites that can be of help, before actually switching:

https://instances.mastodon.xyz/ by @thekinrar
I think it's important to compile resources like this, so let me know if you know of any others.
I totally expect this thing _not_ to be the "next Twitter", but ending like diaspora or worse... google+.
Yes, this is a challenge to prove me wrong. 😏 #mastodon
There is something which scares me on mastodon. I see more and more people installing instances while they don't have a clue about what they're doing.
Then their instance is going to be listed on the website and people will be randomly redirected toward them when someone wants to use mastodon.
But then what happen?
Hosting someone's services is not fun or anything. It's a liability and I hope you have that in mind.
Also, pick carefully your instance.
This kind of feels like logging in to ICQ again after two decades ...
As long as I don't know what to do on #octodon I just will post a daily degu picture of my degus.
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
