@abl good tactic. I was going for something similar, but locked myself out of my learning experience account with an authentication error, so now this is the "screw it let's just figure it out as we go" account :)

@blobfish ahh, this must be what they call the "Deep Web"

@MD_BoD Your train of thought on here today has been exactly the same as mine. Oh except for the bee thing. Good luck with that though.

@adamdorsey your reasoning is superb! Glad to have you here in the Octodon :)

Feeling trapped between the desire to explore Mastodon's features and fear of the crushing humiliation that will accompany any misstep.

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

@joerobb also me anytime I sign a group birthday card

oh god i made it worse

Mastodon feels like we all just walked into a stadium expecting a big show, not knowing what that show would be.

Then we realized that we ARE the show, and now everyone is looking around the stadium at each other, thinking, "I suppose I'll stay for a bit and see what other kinds of people walk in, and ooh--those pretzels look tasty..."

Struggling to remember how to proofread toots before I toot them.

Struggling to remember how to post to post to social media in greater than 140 characters.

Must keep practicing...

@pzmyers thx for the follow. I somehow managed to lock myself out of the @tjrasey account (2-factor authentication got messed up) so feel free to unfollow that one, I'm abandoning it :)
