@adamdorsey your reasoning is superb! Glad to have you here in the Octodon :)
@CobaltVelvet You go, Glen Coco!
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
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...
