“But Nick,” you might add, “Why is no one following me?” Be patient little one. The beauty of being a Dino is that no one cares if you have followers; ⭐️s (likes) are a form of 1:1 communication, not fodder for an algorithm; and we love you regardless.

* Put up up an avatar.
* Create a sincere bio.
* Search some hashtags.
* Post some hashtagged content
* Scroll the feeds
* and engage with someone fun.

You will find your people. :)

ATTENTION EVERYONE WRINGING THEIR HANDS OVER “#MASTODON ADMINS CAN READ MY DIRECT MESSAGES”: #SysAdmins have *always* been able to read your #email and DMs unless encrypted, including at the big #SocialNetworks and Internet providers. We used to have t-shirts that said, “I READ YOUR EMAIL.”

It’s just hitting now because you got used to places where the admins were kept away in their cubicles and data centers instead of greeting you at the front door.

PSA: People on #mastodon love to boost/reblog. This is great because it gives people a wider audience and let's you see new stuff. But, if someone is boosting too much or boosting content you don't want to see, you don't have to unfollow them. Instead go to their profile, hit three dots menu and choose "hide reblogs". It's a lifesaver! #psa

Your TypeScript errors are the compiler saying your code will crash. My TypeScript errors are my code crashing the compiler. We are not the same.

Mastodon needs a "sorting hat" site.

Enter your old social channel details and the Sorting Hat will determine your instance.
