The mastodon stages:

1: getting used to the interface

2: discovering that most people are just people, engaged in everyday adventures, big & small

3: the allure of the notification sound

4: a gradual getting used to the fact that not everything is about US politics, and that it's okay to filter it out on a macro level

5: a quiet moment when you think "there can still be poetry in this world"

6: some sort of reconciliation with the quantum magic that is the federated timeline

7: pineapples

end loot boxes
end season passes
hell, end blatant microtransactions

bring back expansion packs with at least 4 hours of good gameplay

The time has come to share that one post about mastodon, pineapples and all that good stuff

I know a lot of the new people are from Comics Twitter so if you want suggestions on instances for you lot:

mastodon.art: a community of artists, illustrators seem to be most prominent

wandering.shop: a community of scifi/fantasy fans, a lot of writers and book lovers
writing.exchange: community of writers

octodon.social: general purpose instance with a good community

instance.business: instance by and for people of color, and also parody brands

cybre.space: a lot of creative queer furries

#welcome

If it helps to understand, you, reading this, are seeing a post from me. I'm on the server "cybre.space" (which we call an "instance"). it's run and owned by an entirely different person from mastodon.social. We have our own community norms, moderators, and communities. But our posts still travel to your server and so you can read our posts too. We call this process "federation." Likewise, I can see your posts even if you're on a different server from me. This way, we can all have mods we like and trust

finally, a website where I am free to express my truest, most authentic self
