If you're new to Mastodon;
Follow people and hashtags, lots of them. That's how this place works, there is no other way really. If you're waiting for stuff to come to you it aint gonna happen.
Start typing hashtags of things you're interested in and follow them. Put them in your introduction and/or bio.
Start following anyone that looks slightly interesting. Follow people who boost a lot and anyone they boost that looks interesting.
Can someone hand this note to everyone that shows up?
Of course I do, but I'm not going to use it and I've got piles of similar old funky gear I need to start getting rid of, so I hope someone takes it.
I started to, but I wasn't comfortable with the permissions they wanted, even for screwing around. I can't imagine using things like this for real.
"Do not obey in advance.
Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive govern- ment will want, and then offer themselves with- out being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."
I am going to have to think even more carefully about how I want to contribute to the economy, and which parts of it.
Funding Nazis gets you Nazis.
Time to start building community and preparing for the new way of life.
Buying only the things I need for this, preparing for shortages and high prices.
Cleaning up my digital mess.
Blocking chaos edgelords. Unfollowing people who think blaming the victim and excusing the perpetrator is a good use of our time.
Everyone who claims to be on our side is not on our side.
Oh wow, all this talk of "designing" a signature instead of developing one is wild to me. I never thought about it.
Funny, because I never like cursive much and nearly always printed, my whole life. But I don't know why someone wouldn't want to learn it.

"WILL FERRELL IS THREATENING ME!"
GD Nazis are such fragile snowflakes.
"Government is inefficient, private companies can do better"
Private companies got astronauts stranded in space, meanwhile Voyager automatically switched over to a backup radio it hadn't used since 1981.
If you're new to Mastodon I'd totally ignore people telling you how to run your own account.
Crosspost from other sites all you want. Post whatever you want. It's your account.
Too much clubhouse gatekeeping.
