@design_RG I'm using the Fav button just like the "like" button on the other SM sites. And yes, I noticed that the favorited toots are shown under "Favorites". Thanks 👍
@design_RG ah.. hadn't thought about that. Yes, a shorter handle would've been convenient for others while mentioning me. Is there a possibility in Mastodon to change the handle like the birdsite?
Yes you can call me RN 😃
@design_RG thanks for the info about pleroma.. will explore this at a later point of time.
@raining_night That is a good question. 😃
But I am afraid the answer is not "mastodonians', because mastodon is just one of the possible ways to access the 'fediverse' (or Federated Universe, the network we are participating in).
There are sites using "Pleroma". There are other names which I am even less familiar with. But your posts will show there, as we will see theirs too, being "federated" with hundred of other places.
The great community would be Fediverse, so maybe a word built into that root?
Fediversians comes to mind, although you will need to quickly explain what that means and why you chose the word.
OPS க்கு விருது கொடுத்தது பற்றி உங்கள் கருத்து என்ன? 😂😂

@musafir @Ruminess In twitter people stay quiet with their thought in fear of retaliation and in Mastodon they quietly post their thought in peace.
We have gotten comfortable by seeing the world move by in twitter while here in mastodon you actually get to do heartfelt conversations with others.
It's a new world and its up to you on how you can build it. Converse with strangers, present your point, enter a discussion. It's just not about reading liking and boosting but to socialize.
You know what's the most liberating part of being in the Fediverse? The fact that you aren't constantly subjecting yourself to forced window-shopping. That's what being online has really become. On mainstream SM, almost everything you see is an ad. I won't feel silly if I'm proven wrong but *this* is the future.
Hi All, it's been a couple of days since I have Mastodon, but I haven't introduced myself. I'm from Tamilnadu, India and I'm and IT professional. My interests are astro physics, food, superbikes, nature and animals. I'm trying out veganism for the past 10 days and I feel good that I'm not hurting any animals. I am having a good time on Mastodon. Hope to engage with more people here #introduction #india
@rajanraja nice 👌
@design_RG @raining_night yeah dude, that is the sort of stuff that makes head aches.
@raining_night The really surprising thing for me was @Surasanji mention this morning, that there ARE different sized infinities.
That was unexpected, and I am not understanding why, or how it's justifiable. Mind blowing. 😃
@Memeghnad Number of people don't matter. Number of active users matter. #birdsite is full of paid trolls and bots. They don't count.
Also verify yourself. Put your Twitter profile link as a label here on your profile. Put this link on your twitter in add website section.

@Vishsai @lordoftheshibs @Memeghnad @Deepsealioness
To put that in perspective, only very few instances make enough donations to pay for hosting costs let pay for someone to staff it.
Twitter pays people to work there full time and they still can't be as effective as people with cartoon avatars working other jobs. 😂
@Memeghnad
Leaving these ideas here for anyone to put into an appropiate meme format:
On federated social media, ...
... trolls fear you!
... your content is owned by you!
... the admin listens to you!
... the rules are picked by you!
... nobody makes money off you!
... you pick who you listen to!
... money cannot spam you!
... the system empowers you!
... you are you!
@Vishsai @Memeghnad aaand here's a few memes. ppl reading this toot, feel free to use these and prev images on your own birdsite accounts!
@Vishsai @Memeghnad bhaiyya thoda rehem. Here's the lengthy arguments. Working on the Mastodon memes next
Right wing abuses, they get promoted -Twitter
Right wing abuses, they get blocked -Mastodon
Or
Reported for rape threats, it's fine says twitter
Report for rape threats, immediately gets blocked by Mastodon.
(Rape can be replaced by casteism, sexism, facism etc)
Or
Reported for hatred by 100 people , no action by twitter.
Reported for hatred by 1 person, immediate action by Mastodon.
@lordoftheshibs Was thinking the same thing. The biggest change from twitter has been moving from confrontation to conversation. That one fact alone has helped people with their mental health and peace.
For Confrontation Use Twitter.
For conversation use Mastodon.
Or
Tweet a thought, get abused.
Toot a thought, it blossoms.
Or
Spread humanity, get hated - Twitter
Spread humanity, get loved. -Mastodon
I love women, food, thriller/sci-fi/slasher movies and series, astro physics, superbikes, tennis, MMA, nature and animals❤️ not in any specific order
Trying out Veganism.
