So. This will be my first mastodon post.

Whatever else I do, this will always be at the top of my timeline. However things change.

I should probably make it somehow interesting, or timelessly relevant.

But there is such a thing as overthinking things. A poor first post is very ignorable, and I don't want analysis paralysis to prevent me from ever posting anything at all.

So... overthought first post done, I guess.

@ccc You can make an introduction post. Seems to be trendy around here

@ElektrikChameleon

...is there some way in which introduction posts differ from any other randomly selected post?

@ElektrikChameleon

Oh... so it needs to be tagged with Introductions? Hmmmm. Let me think about it, then...

@ccc I think I smell smoke over there. You should get a watercooling helmet for all that thinking.

I'm no Detritus. My mental abilities are not significantly enhanced by a reduction in temperature.

It helps if someone is searching for that specific hash tag. Otherwise there's no difference -- you could create a personal introduction post without any hash tags at all.

I would recommend using the Introductions one. I do not like a list of hashtags and no text at all; it's a personal introduction, after all.

The 'shopping list' hash fest is not useful in that, I feel. But you are free to do it whichever way you prefer.

Words count. We have a large, 65 thousand charactes space per toot here, so don't be shy.
