I can't stand Twitter these days, and while I have strong political views I'm not gonna waste energy in shouting matches. I'm here for STEM, and cool people. Which is everyone on this platform.
@ster Welcome Ster! :)
@ster Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235
We also have another new users guide, posted here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator
Casey Rollins made a video to explain the Fediverse, here :
"I made this video awhile back to help explain how the #Fediverse works."
@ster Ah, great -- the LifeHacker guide is the one that I learned the ropes from; and there's definitely things we need to understand to better use the Fediverse.
I am always looking for good guides, have read many; this LH one is tops.
@design_RG Thanks for the links. I'm not so much new, I've had this account but not been using it for over a year, and previously had accounts on other instances.
But I'll definitely check them out, since I've still plenty to learn!
