Call to all Mastodon Newcomers

Welcome to all!
How can we improve the #onboarding process? If you joined in the past few weeks can you let us know what was difficult when you joined and/or once you had joined?

For example:

I didn't know which server to join
it took too long for my joining request to get accepted
I wasn't sure how to find people to follow

(The aim of this post is not to collect answers to the problems but rather detect all potential obstacles to joining & starting to use Mastodon. Please boost around! 🔄)

Trump hopes the last line of defense will cower in the face of his threats

Still freaks me out every time I open the windows to let fresh air in and this is the lowest the CO2 monitor ever gets.

I was born at 320 ppm.

Easy call to action to expand healthcare access BEFORE Trump enters office.

Takes literally 5 seconds and the urgency is now. We need to keep fighting to protect healthcare as a human right: https://bit.ly/3Cmitmf

It was not supposed to happen until at least 2040
Humans have already caused 1.5°C of long-term global warming according to new estimates
Global warming is accelerating whilst action to tackle it are winding down
Imagine a 2 C world by 2034 or sooner

Finally, I think PP has access to the same energy/tools/information/network/techniques that allowed Republicans to easily win their election, despite being the obviously anti-democratic and regressive course for the country to anyone paying attention.

We are in deep trouble, friends.

This may seem like hyperbole, but I assure you it is not.

I remember how it felt during the Ottawa occupation, when sympathy protests rolled up & down the very street I live on in London every saturday for 3 weeks, blaring their horns in their work trucks, waving CDN flags, making it clear that they believe ppl that live where I live & look like me are the source of all their problems.

THAT is the wave PP & the other fascists want to ride to power.

Over the past few days a series of miscommunications between @Gargron, the @MastodonEngineering team, and myself occurred. These did push me to a point of outrage, leading to the original version of this post.

I'm happy to continue spending the time, money, and effort contributing to #Mastodon, and wish to work with the team and Eugen to find better ways to work together.

The team is super busy, need more funding & staff to achieve the full potential.

Let's work on working better together.

Merry Whatever!
