One of the dumbest things a smart person can do is to start thinking they’re smarter than everyone else.

@Goodtrouble We match on quite a few hashtags here. I've sent a follow request.

@debdiscourse I really don't get the "too complicated" complaint about Mastodon. If you have an E-mail address, it's essentially the same concept but with more social network connectivity to it.

The main big difference is that because it's Federated, the searches aren't nearly as good because there's no central index to it all. Minor inconvenience, IMHO.

Today is #LGBTQSTEMDay ! A day to celebrate all the LGBTQ+ people who work in or study science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. I’m proud to be a part of a worldwide community of amazing people doing amazing things!

Because of all the new users today (again):

Don't forget to enable Two-Factor Authentication in Mastodon in your settings.

@flexghost @ShieldHero85@mstdn.party boy, do I feel silly now. /s

@rosie as K9 from Doctor Who would say: A-ffirm-a-tive!!!

@dep agreed. I used to run a WWIV later turned into VBBS back in the early 90s called "Mission Control" in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.

@kepler @ShieldHero85@mstdn.party I second this recommendation.

I, for one, welcome our new Mastodon overlords.

Look. I’m here because I’m too ugly for Instagram, too interesting for LinkedIn and have too much disdain for my extended family to use Facebook.

I will give big points to the first news organization, big or small, that:
* Sets up an instance for its newsroom,
* Sets up an instance for the community it serves,
* Enables rel=me for staff,
* Creates a boost-on-Mastodon sharing function,
* Enhances that function so headlines/images (with alt-text) appear in the toot,
* Covers the Fediverse as more than a geeky curiosity or alt-Twitter,
* Listens to and joins in the conversation here.

@PhilthePill@octodon.social context?
