Un tempo, quando il mondo era abitato solo dai Finnici, il dio del Tuono regnava su tutti gli esseri viventi. Ma poi i Finnici abbandonano la fede ancestrale, lasciandosi fuorviare da religioni straniere e falsi idoli.

"If Mastodon thrives, many will hail it as a new European tech player.
But the platform holds a more valuable promise — the establishment of a more democratic social network that can be used by anybody, everywhere in the world, without being manipulated by big money, the whims of billionaires or repressive governments."

Dice @ilpost : "Molte persone stanno avendo difficoltà a iscriversi al social network Mastodon". Un buon inizio sarebbe capire che "Mastodon" non è UN social network così come "Vespa" non è un motorino, ma una tecnologia per andare in moto. Se poi qualuno non riesce ad avviare col pedale una specifica vespa ingolfata non è che ci mettiamo scrivere "molte persone stanno avendo difficoltà ad andare in Vespa". Si dà il tempo al proprietario di tirare la levetta dell'aria.

Okay this might be a long post
One thing that I realised is making #twittermigration harder for people to switch is because the whole concept can feel daunting & overwhelming for non-tech savvy people.
With Twitter to them it was straight forward and easy to find topics they enjoy but with mastodon its a bit different.
So if you’re new to mastodon or you want to introduce someone to mastodon here are some tips, useful sites & tools:
Twitodon - Find your Twitter friends on Mastodon
FediFinder- Similar to Twitodon
Fedi Tips - an informal, unofficial guide for non-technical people who want to use Mastodon and the wider Fediverse
Fedi Directory - A human-curated small selection of accounts to spice up your timeline.
Trunk -Trunk allows you to mass-follow a bunch of people in order to get started with Mastodon or any other platform on the Fediverse
Fediverse.info -growing list of people and topics can help you discover mutual interests with people around the world
Mobile Apps:
Metatext for iOS
Tusky for Android
Lastly if you are interested in setting up your own instance you can learn via https://learnfoss.org/ its completely free and its made by the wonderful @stux
I apologize for the long post lol, just hope this helps anyones transition over

Come da previsioni, le previsioni di EDF in merito all'output del suo parco di reattori nucleari erano e continuano ad essere oltremodo ottimistiche.
Davvero difficile continuare a dar loro credito. https://twitter.com/revenergetica/status/1589377636673126403
KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!
Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?
Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.
Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).
So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!
But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!
OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!
Our world is connected.
We see evidence of that from seeing social media updates from people around the world or news broadcasts that cover events happening from anywhere. But have you considered the physical infrastructure of the internet? Of course there are datacenters, giant buildings with loud computers buzzing away. But those buildings need to be connected to each other, to your modem at home, to mobile cell towers that are sprinkled all over the place, and "to the internet". But what does that mean? Contrary to popular belief, satellites are NOT how most information travels the world. Indeed, we have physical cables all over... but instead of carrying electrical signals those cables carry light generated by lasers.
These cables not only exist alongside roads and hung on power lines. They're also running along the bottom of the world's oceans. The image below is an inventory of each of these underwater internet cables. What I find interesting is how many there are! It seems like a lot. But then when I think more about it I am also amazed at how few there are. If you pay attention you will see news articles describing occasional sabotage of these cables, here's one recently published by Wired: https://www.wired.com/story/submarine-internet-cables-egypt/. This is actually very important to the future and security of the global internet.

Time magazine interviewed Mastodon's founder, and you'll learn a lot about the decentralized social network he's been working on. https://time.com/6229230/mastodon-eugen-rochko-interview/ https://twitter.com/dangillmor/status/1589584295009533958?s=12&t=qSkKr_Y2wBXprn_myGqQbA
