I started out, like many, on #Mastodon, during the great Twitter migration. Not that I migrated from Twitter. No... I never had a Twitter account. Rather, I hoped that Mastodon could obtain the Network Effect, and help fundamentally alter the shape of social media for the foreseeable future.
So I made my own solo Masto instance and ran it for a good six months. It was cool. But then there was a glittery thing -- #Calckey -- that caught my eye. So I joined that. Pretty soon the maintainer of Calckey (young BTW) dropped out, but forks forked. I waited. Then #Firefish was the shit. But no...
Then, today, the admin of my former instance calckey.world made a new sharkey.world instance public, and I joined. #Sharkey is the new shit.
Because that's how I roll. On the Cutting Edge, baby.
