@julliecornewell AWESOME pic!
@sam definitely the one with a six-pack and look no hands. In fact Look No Hands was a cool cafe in London near my work. Lots of developers came there, they had burgers to die for and a bike shop on the same premises.

I have never seen such a concentration of kind, interesting people, cool things to learn about, and dopamine supply in my life. Y'all are fabulous. #mastodon

If you're a recent convert or considering opening an account at Mastodon, my username over there is @LordArse. Come on over, it's actually a really nice place to play once you get used to it. Did I mention that there was cake?

Ok, I’m going to try starting a thing 
If you are new to Mastodon,
and you have a short question about Mastodon,
start your toot (post) with #MastodonQuestion

Let’s ask and answer about the technical part but also about the cultural part! This is important.

@gpowerf @authorbwest whoa. Big step. But this is my first week here and I’m on the bird site less. As long as someone reads my ramblings😂

I'll admit, I'm already more of a fan of this decentralized dwelling over the bird site. Just feels more community based, and, most importantly, people actually see my poor excuse for jokes.
Yes that is a hospital / OT tea tray that the PC is on. 😂

My humble setup for #Java training this week. It was basically designed during first lockdown 2020 and stayed that way.

@itnewsbot there you go. You can have as much data as you like, unless you have too much.

Tip for the new folk:
Often Mastodon’s features work the way they do because it was first populated by people who had been harassed on FB and the Birdsite.
For instance (not sorry), you cannot search Masto for a simple term. Only #hashtags. Say you’re having a private conversation about iguanas. Anti-iguana trolls will not be able to search for “iguanas”, find your conversation, and drop into it to say, “Iguana luvers suck!”
But if you are wanting to connect with new iguana fanciers on Mastodon, slipping an #iguanas hashtag somewhere into your posts will allow people to search for and find them.
