@Unosaxum but, you could likely easily block it as opposed to being on a Meta app, so I'm grateful for that! 🙂 #FediverseForever

I have to admit I don't have the draw to go visit BlueSky like I do here in the Fediverse. Just not appealing. Not yet at least.

@aurynn I'm still floating serenely thru #Mastodon.

The access to news and interesting views with an absence of trolls and ads is blissfully amazing to me.

I spent a couple years on the #HellSite, and could never stand #Facebook or #Instagram. #Reddit is cool.

Mastodon and fediverse makes me think of the good old IRC days.

Wow, only one more follower and I have 600 people to share my Toots with!

I am so grateful for finding this #fediverse world two months ago! Already had so many nice, real, good conversations. Never have I been on a social media for such a short period of time and having such a fulfilling social life already!

@plambrechtsen @delphijunkie Pathetic - but also shows they consider Mastodon to be an existential threat.

#FediverseForever!

"In 2018, [Facebook] told Congress that there were more than two million pixels across the web -- a massive data-harvesting operation most internet users never see."

Lovely. #FediverseForever

So this is a cool article I read…..#MastadonNewbie #FediverseForever :coffeecup: https://www.wired.com/story/the-man-behind-mastodon-eugen-rochko-built-it-for-this-moment/

Before I say goodnight, I’d like to thank everyone who is involved in making the Fediverse what it is. To the founders, to those behind the code, to those other alternatives to big tech, to instance admins, to moderators, to the users in general who make up this space: I say thank you to you all! #FediverseForever

We all owe Eugen Rochko a great debt of gratitude. The corporate sites are media; broadcasters, really. Social means community, and that's what the Fedi is all about.

I just checked in on the birdsite and between the platform meltdown and the latest election returns, it's chaos. Everyone is either freaking out or just talking past each other. Or beating their chest.

Words can't express how happy I am to be here. Thank you again, @SDF and all the people who built the Fedi just because it was a good thing to do. Thank you, thank you.

#SDF #FediverseForever

I can't believe the job the good people at @SDF have done on this instance this weekend. So grateful.

Just for kicks, I've posted the same things here and to Twitter and Facebook today just to see what kind of engagement they get. Facebook is kind of an outlier since I'm connected to so many friends and family there, but whatever.

Anyway, I'm here now, for good. Too happy for words. Enjoy some music. #SDF #FediverseForever

So, I just discovered what the Federated category does. I picked the SDF instance because a) I looked up the history and loved the technical chops, and b) I just think Japanese anime is really, really cool (and I'm up for learning more about it).

Now that I see you all, I'm stoked. This is awesome.

Loving the absence of adverts. 💖 #mastodonrocks #mastodon #fediverseforever
