So Unity has decided money raised for #PlannedParenthood and a children’s hospital is not for a charity, but “political groups,” and will not waive their bs install fees on a game raising money for them.

#UNITY, consent is key and you don't have ours.

Going from #Twitter to #Mastodon is like going from MacOS to Linux. Yeah, they may look roughly the same on the desktop, but everything you do get your work done is different, and it’s frustrating af until you learn your way around.

So new folks, just keep at it until it clicks and it’s ok if you get frustrated, and old folks, don’t be condescending when someone is having trouble figuring everything out. #TwitterMigration

Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap.

stopthatgirl7, 11 months ago to mastodon

Hey, new #Mastodon people!

A lot of folks will try to helpfully tell you how to Mastodon and honestly, those tend to be long ass tomes that can scare folks off rather than help.

So, Cliff notes version:
-Search for hashtags, not text strings
-You have 4 feeds: Home, Local, Federated, and Trending. Check them all til you’re following enough people to not have an empty, boring home feed.
-Ditch the default app.

There’s more stuff, but no need to go that deep in the weeds yet. #TwitterMigration

…oh, and fuck you, too, over telling people to go to “a local pet groomer” instead. Ahole.

New folks from #Twitter! Make sure to put your #Mastodon account in a pinned tweet or your profile on twitter. If you do, people who follow you can find your account here. #TwitterMigration

Also, use Fedifinder to find and follow people you followed on twitter (if they have posted their Mastodon account on Twitter): https://fedifinder.glitch.me/
