If you are on mastodon you are here for good content. And from Indian twitter minority voices plays an important role, one of my favourite minority voices who isn’t scared to speak the truth to anyone is someone you should be following if you are here. He explains how minorities are treated in India. Some of you may loathe him but that’s fine, listen to him and then loathe him , so follow @OpusOfAli 💓💓

No ticket.

@raining_night Thanks for the post, we had a nice post the other day with pointers to live cameras showing the solar telescope views of the Mercury passage over the face of the Sun. Quite cool!

Really small planet, and so close to that huge star.

@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.

GDP is a western construct, so Modiji is feverishly on the process of demolishing it till its last ruins are erased from Hindustan.

So hardworking, edging into the boundaries of insomnia, we are so blessed to have dear Supreme Leader!

@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.

@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.

@KavitaKrishnan

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

@lordoftheshibs

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.
