If we just said "Get an account on mastodon.social" It's be a lot easier to get people bought in. For those that might get it, follow that with "other options are available" and see if they care when they react ...

Oh and one other thing.

Hmmm looks like the main @pixelfed Android app doesn't allow multiple accounts. Any suggestions for others that do? #pixelfed #Fediverse
