Y'all,

If you want more marginalized folks to migrate here, please be more willing to share mutual aid asks and links to their shops or newsletters, as their finances often depend on it. Twitter gave them a chance to promote it, and for disabled folks in particular, we often rely on mutual aid support.

State governments are often horrifically draconian and oppressive for us, where the services that are offered to us are lacking and often useless. Disabled folks do not get enough disability benefits for survival. If you want to make it more welcoming for us, then be willing to aid us in mutual aid work.

But instead of aid, I've seen folks here be actively hostile to sharing or posting ANY requests for mutual aid or links to shops. Some report it thus causing more harm. This "no promotion" attitude is a really privileged and harmful take.

More folks would migrate IF they can safely rebuild what they're losing from Twitter. Demanding purity tests and not accounting for the complex nuances of those still on Twitter isn't helping. We need to build a more nuanced and accepting environment for those that rely on mutual aid for survival.

Community building isn't only talking and sharing stories. It's also building resources and spaces for folks to find and get what they need to thrive. This includes monetary support as well as building up sharing libraries. Let's build that here too, ok?

I'm new to Mastodon, but a lot of my former Twitter followers don't know I'm here yet. Someone suggested I could simply ask you fine people to boost me. Would you be so kind? Here’s a small token of my appreciation: #welcometomastodon #TwitterMigration

I have started my #mastodon journey on an auspicious day. It's #Caturday ! Here is Orion, aka Mister (white & silver tabby), and Stardust, aka Lil Miss (tabbico).

Orion is a grumpy old man who loves to eat lettuce, and Stardust is a stubborn brat who tries to steal your cheese (even though I RARELY feed her any!)

Love my cats!

Let us be very clear: Musk is suggesting that journalists should be arrested for reporting on him and his company.

This is fascism, folks.

Just plain, unadulterated fascism.

This just hurts my soul. Microsoft basically hid a Black cemetery on land they got for free after tax breaks and then allowed for the desecration of the graves. The county and newspaper aren’t off the hook either. Same with the consultants and archeologists. https://www.propublica.org/article/how-authorities-erased-historic-black-cemetery-virginia

Since "John Mastodon" has gone so viral here following Mediaite's confusion, I think, in the future, for those folks left on Twitter who want to secretly refer to Mastodon after Elon bans all mentions of it, just talk about "friends of John" as the code...

You don’t have to be alone.

Hey y'all: Given Twitter’s turbulence we want to build our platform here on Mastodon to make sure we can continue our conversations on a public social media platform.

Can you please BOOST this post and FOLLOW our account and encourage your followers to do the same? Thank you.

@seekingsrishti Hello! Welcome to Mastodon!

As Twitter kicked me out of the so-called digital town square, I'm trying to embrace the open source Mastodon with high hopes.
Please say hello and help me to navigate through this new app.

You can support free speech or your can support an authoritarian billionaire using his wealth to silence journalists

You can't do both

John Mastodon does not have a private jet, traveling as he does by e-bike, bus, or train. The JohnJet account though wildly popular is is largely inactive.

Trump stole the images for his NFT trading cards from stock photos and Amazon.com

Republicans stole the images for their “Commitment to America” platform from Russian stock photos

Too dumb to be original

Too evil to care

@courtjezter @BlackAzizAnansi and yet… we don’t hear much “centrist” GOPs distancing themselves from any of this. Their silence is deafening.
