I am NO expert but I wrote an email to a friend at his request explaining how to join Mastodon, so I turned that into a post. I'm holding a masterclass in Mastodon -- a masterdon? -- at my school on Dec. 5, so this is also my preparation. Tell me what I screwed up.

Lakes provide ever-changing scenes of beauty. It's cold tonight, but the three Bufflehead ducks don't care. The setting sun casts varied color to the sky.
@jcreight7 Hi Jim! You're the first person I know personally that I've seen on this platform. If you see other friends here, let me know, and I'll do the same for you. Enjoy the weekend!
I'm two weeks into this #Mastodon experience, and feeling increasingly comfortable with its charm, authenticity, and #community.
I love #NoAds and #NoAlgorithms, pervasive on other platforms, trying to part me from my money or telling me how I should think.
Newbies like me may find the attached article useful: https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-get-started-use-mastodon/
I enjoy jumping over to the #Federated timeline for a short time each day. I think I've used #GoogleTranslate more in the past two weeks than in the past year 😆
People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!

Why is it that Art Garfunkel was so insecure in his partnership with Paul Simon? How many ballads are as heartfelt as "Bridge Over Troubled Water"? Art's solo on that single is haunting and beautiful, decades later. #music
I am hiring a product manager for platforms and architecture for the City of San Francisco's digital team. It's a union job in a team that is supportive and kind. Please boost!

I'm grateful for digital #photography that allows one to chronicle key moments. The aggregation of those moments become the story of a good life.
On a daily basis, digital frames randomly playback these moments for me, bringing smiles and appreciation.
