@ScottSoCal Another thing that I do is set up a separate "Home List" and switch back and forth between the standard Home screen or even have them both up at the same time as Pinned Lists. You can easily move folks on or off your home list whenever you want to clean up your incoming messages.
This helps me to be more engaged with my core group of folks that I like to carry on conversations with; and yet still keep in touch with everyone I'm following.
As much as I don't like Scarborough, I did get a laugh out of this montage. It is pitch perfect for what a former Prez is restoring to. Wringing more $$ from his culty rubes.

NFT trading cards. Wow.
I know we always say "there is no bottom" but even we're surprised at the new and innovating ways #Trump finds to be the most pathetic person on the planet.
Why buy any digital NFT nonsense when you can actually see me live and on stage in London, from Jan-Apr next year?

Pro-Elon trolls are joining the #TwitterMigration so here's your regular reminder to block and report them immediately. If a server continuously fails to take action against abuse, block that server and demand your instance admin do the same.
Here, we're the content moderation. I've got major respect for the folks who built this place because, while the rest of us were complaining over on the #birdsite, they were successfully de-federating Gab.
Let's continue this proud #Fediverse tradition.
Musings on growing up as an #AltBlackGirl
I listened to mostly rock and new wave music growing up. It drove me crazy when my family would make fun of my for listening to yt music. Like, you sent me to a school that I was 1/3 of the black student population, you let me watch way too much Mtv (this was back when they actually played music all day kids), & y'all don't play music at home. Fuck did you think was gonna happen?
White people didn't invent nor do they own rock music (Country music neither actually). Which is why my #sotd for #BlackFriday is brought to you by Bad Brains.
Time for a proper #Introduction! π π
As my name suggests, I am a fan of #ScienceFiction! I was raised on #StarTrek, but I love all kinds of #SciFi and #Fantasy!
I joined here earlier in the great #TwitterMigration, so I'm still rather #NewHere.
I've also been a member of a few fandom message boards over the years, particularly one called #ExIsle! (Ask me about it sometime. π)
I also have lots of other interests besides fandom, that I follow & boost!
Hashtags to follow soon! π
Mastodon is going to be a little slow loading for a bit. Try to have some patience. For many that came before us, they were patient when we arrived over the last month or so. Let's do the same and respect that with massive upheaval for some, comes with inconvenience for others.
My Mastodon app feed is loading slowly. Why? Because thousands of others want what we have. This is a good thing βΊοΈ
Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.
Itβll be great to see GivennameFamilyname@mastodon.famousnewspaper.com or whatever domain they want to use.
Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.
Plus the βlocalβ feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together β providing extra discovery.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
