you know what? I don’t think I’m gonna let that guy put a chip in my brain after all

Mastodon has cracked the top ten social networking apps in the App Store. For context, Signal is at 15.

Honestly moving to Mastodon from the bird site feels like I just switched to PBS after years of exclusively watching a reality TV show called, I don't know, EXTREME HATEFEST: ORGY ISLAND or something.

Like, yeah, of course it's going to be a little jarring but trust me it's better this way.

Here's one of the many beautiful things about Mastodon and the Fediverse:

I saw that @johnvoorhees opened a Pixelfed profile. That service is powered by federation too. So here's what I did:

- Took his profile URL: https://pixelfed.social/johnvoorhees
- Changed it to: @johnvoorhees@pixelfed.social
- Searched for the account, and followed him.

Now John's photo feed is another account, from a completely different service, that I follow on my Mastodon. I love this.

Yesterday we had John Mastodon

Today we're back to talking about birdsite

come on, let's stop talking about birdsite, let's have our own memes and our own culture
