Since many new folks are joining #mastodon from #twitter, here is a psa- you don’t ‘have’ to pay but do consider paying if you can.
Popular to contrary believe, you don’t have to sacrifice dragon blood every full moon night to gain followers.
But please add alt text to your pictures, else you will be born as a blue bird in next life that Elon musk loves too much.
The only thing I don’t like about #mastodon, is it’s inherent bias towards cats over dogs. To make things (somewhat) even, new people are requested (no actually recommended) to follow #dogsofmastodon and (mild) boycott #caturday. Please. Pretty please🙏
There's loads of partially sighted people on the fediverse, it'd be much appreciated if you'd add descriptions to uploaded pics/vids. Pics with descriptions get shared more. 👀
Desktop: click edit after your pic uploads and you can add a description there (click apply when you're done).
Tusky: photos have 🅰️ ✅ marked on them after upload, click that to add captions.
The default iOS and Android apps are ok but you might prefer @ivory or @Tusky
Hi, I'm flower 👋 I'm in my 30s, I'm bisexual and gender is confusing so any pronouns go.
I don't watch a lot of movies or tv series, I prefer watching long form video essays, listening to podcasts and reading books: queer books, cozy murder mysteries, scifi, fantasy and non-fiction. I'm also into privacy and technology, so the list of people I follow is very eclectic 😉
As for hobbies, every now and then I play videogames but I'm not very good at them. On the other hand, I regularly wipe the floor with my friends at Scrabble and I have a lot of fun with tabletop games in general. I do some Postcrossing too and I knit and crochet, but I enjoy all forms of crafts and art.
I boost a lot of pictures of art, animals and nature and also jokes from my favourite accounts. Sometimes I try making dad jokes myself, because my love of puns is pun-limited 😆
I'm still learning about the Fediverse, I think it's a super cool concept and I'd love to see how it keeps evolving.
By the way, I'm not tagging anything in this post on purpose, this is just an update to the old intro so I can pin it on my profile 👍
This is Róisín, my contribution to #DogsOfMastodon. She's a 7 month old rescue greyhound who was bred for the track but fortunately rescued before she had to run. We've had her a month and she's a sweetheart but definitely Queen of the House.
While I’ve been offline helping my gal with her TPLO recovery ❤️🩹 Elon has been self-DDoS-ing —that’s fucking hilarious 😂 #dogs#dogsofmastodon#twitter
Little man is sneaking in a quick nap before the inevitable neighborhood nuisance fireworks start up for the third night in a row, bringing terror to the skies. #dogsofmastodon
In incredibly unscientific tests, pollinators way preferred Wild Marjoram and Lavender (native and near-native) to Large Yellow Loosestrife, Turkish Sage, Lady's Mantle, Rose Campion and Maltese Cross. Turkish Sage was only other non-native with any pollinator activity
Hello Mastodon! I figured an #introduction refresh for all the new twitter migrants here.
My name is Christian. I am a Musician who plays #guitar and #synthesizers. I am a 30 year old working in IT support. I have a dog, named Bear (#DogsOfMastodon). I play Nintendo Switch and Retro Games (NES, SNES, PS2). I also am fascinated by the #PlayDate and what games could be made with it.
I am an avid booster and advocate for #AltText on #Mastodon to make this place engaging and accessible!
Stella has found an unusual pillow this morning. She appears nonplussed as I point the camera from multiple directions.
EDIT: Where did my pictures go? That was odd.
