Just heard @matzekult explain mastodon on @podfeet Allison Sheridan's tech show #chitchatacrossthepond https://www.podfeet.com/blog/2018/09/ccatp-565/ - sounds like an excellent alternative to other social media platforms.
After poking around and checking out some of the instances, #qoto seems like the place to be. Thanks for having me! #newbie
