I have been on #mastodon for nearly a month. With that, I have essentially stopped using #twitter. This is my new online forever home. 🤣 I don't like #toxicity in the water I drink, so I certainly don't need it on the web.

It is so good here. And I think I have finally gotten the hang of all the quirks to this place (I will probably make mistakes and blunders with mastodon, so please be patient and forgiving!). 🙏

Initially, I felt voracious, absorbing all the toots and reading every article. But I think I have reached a saturation point with the amount of toots I am seeing. I am following over 500 people now and as much as I want to #GottaCatchEmAll, I simply can't see all the toots! I have removed my local and federated feeds from the #tusky app because I don't have the time to browse them in addition to my home feed, my hashtag feed, and my notification feed (which is in addition of course to my time in the real world).

So to all my #vegan friends, if you posted a clever, funny, insightful, interesting, topical, controversial, or newsworthy toot about #veganism, #AnimalRights, #AnimalWelfare, and/or their connections to #ClimateChange and the #ClimateEmergency, and I don't favourite it, boost it, or comment on it, it probably means I missed it amongst the sea of other toots, and it wasn't #hashtagged.

Please #hashtag your toots like it's 2007! 🙃🥳🤘

Thank you. ☺️

I hope a lot of the negatives are due to my lack of mastodon knowledge, & not a feature. Otherwise, I hope it is something that can be fixed in the future, as I believe it is important for those communities from different geographic or cultural backgrounds but similar interests (#VeganForTheAnimals!) to be able to find each other so that they can feel like they are part of something nice in the online realm that we call the internet. 🕸️

Thank you for reading. #GoVegan 🤘
