@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
@Memeghnad can spend an evening making posts like these to share on birdsite.
design/font/colour can be changed but we can crowdsource arguments here for a Why Mastodon campaign. i'm invested in this platform now. that 'email' argument from the video sold me.
Exactly! Also: birdsite but with open source code, so that every programmer in the world can verify that the site you're using is indeed not running any unethical code. Here on mastodon, you can be reasonably confident that you're not being psychologically analyzed with each click, toot or boost you do to sell adds or otherwise profit from your data :)
I've been asking people around me what is holding them from using Mastodon (even after some of them joined), and I got 4 reasons:
1) Not many people here
2) Can't find people here even if they're here
3) It looks very complicated, especially the instances thing
4) Doesn't seem too different from Birdsite so why bother
For people to adopt this platform, these four points need to be addressed. And that too in ultra-simple non-nerdy language.

What is the correct word to refer people on Mastodon? I came up with "Mastodians" but not sure if this is the right word.

Holler if you feel this way too.
I am new to #Fediverse and I feel anxious about what I don't know because there's a lot to process and lot of made up words like plemora, flebicast, z̸̸̢l̵a̷̡͜b̨̢ut̛ubé͜ and what not.
I feel like there are more awesome things and they are being hidden from me.
For example, I don't want to sound stupid all the time, but how does one watch a video on Peertube?
#India’s @thewire (who has half a million twitter followers) just joined the #fediverse and told their followers to come check us out!
Let's talk about being anti-establishment.
I have this default attitude of challenging any sort of authority. The 'authority' often shifts from person to person.
At a young age, it was my parents and family who were the authority. In school, it was my teachers, in my job, it's my bosses or whoever is paying me.
And ultimately, the authority is now the Government.
I love women, food, thriller/sci-fi/slasher movies and series, astro physics, superbikes, tennis, MMA, nature and animals❤️ not in any specific order
