Twitter: "Hi, we're run by a cryptofascist who reinstates the accounts of literal nazis while suspending those of press. We'll keep randomly taking away features with no notice and limiting your visibility until you pay us a monthly fee, which you can only do in a handful of countries. Vaccines are bad, the election was rigged, and we love Putin!"

Mastodon: "Hi! You need to choose a server and our DM UX is a little iffy."

Users: "NEVER BEFORE HAVE I FACED A CHOICE THIS HARD"

She was a platinum blonde with a heart of gold, nerves of steel, and a lead foot. Me? I was a copper with brass balls, a tin ear, and an iron lung.

I was at a restaurant and the waitress screamed “does anyone know CPR?”

I yelled, “I know the entire alphabet” and we all laughed and laughed.

Well, except that one guy.

When you’re three months into that side project you said would take a weekend.

Are you like me and haven’t completely stopped going to the bird site because some of the bird site people you follow aren’t on Mastodon/? Then try Bird Makeup:

bird.makeup

• Enter the bird site handle you want to follow on Mastodon

• Bird Makeup will give you back a Mastodon handle

• Copy the Mastodon handle into Mastodon’s Search field

• The search will reveal the person’s Mastodon handle and an option to follow or subscribe

My experience with Bird Makeup

• It will take about 24-36 hours before the person’s bird site posts start appearing in your Mastodon Home timeline

• The person’s tweets-turned-toots will be batched, appearing in a cluster of successive toots and not in real time

• Jpeg attached is an example, using Former US Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFau, PhD's bird site handle turned Mastodon handle and how his tweets-now-toots appear on my Home timeline.

• FYI, McFaul appears to already have @mcfaul account, but it doesn’t seem to be current or active, so Bird Makeup has been a better option for me.



How odd that it took that long to add wheels to suitcases.

It's really cool that Twitter shuts down in stages over two months so that the Mastodon servers aren't overloaded all at once, very thoughtful of them!

And then getting suspended after mentioning where he was going. Wow Elon is such a maroon.

Anyone else think Paul Graham moving to mastodon is some kind of bellwether?

Suggest you word it cleverly, like "Follow me on Musk-be-gone" and use spacekaren.sucks as URL shortener
