I caved. I have no idea what I'm doing.
@neilmacfarlane Where's the like button? Haha
@tara_taylor_stfx @neilmacfarlane I’m guessing you weren’t on twitter many years ago to witness everyone losing their minds when they changed favourites ⭐️ to likes ❤️. I have to confess, I was one of the folks who overreacted in the most melodramatic way possible. For old farts like me shifting to this site, ⭐️ was instantly recognizable, no instructions necessary.
@wtspman @tara_taylor_stfx I joined Twitter in 2010 so either it was before thrn or I just didn’t notice haha 😆
@neilmacfarlane @tara_taylor_stfx I only joined in 2013 so it was after that.
According to this Slate article it was Nov 3, 2015. They were obviously fans of the change. https://slate.com/technology/2015/11/twitter-favorite-button-is-now-the-like-button-and-the-star-is-a-heart.html

They say ignorance is bliss.
Are you happy yet?
@tara_taylor_stfx https://mastodon.help can.. Well.. Help
@tara_taylor_stfx LOL I’ve been here only a week longer and still figuring how it works! Glad to have found some of the academic Twitter people here that I’ve enjoyed following so much!
@Mathmom236 yes, I’m scrambling to find people before everything collapses. I’ve been so grateful to make connections and don’t want to lose them. I have felt pretty isolated, Twitter was a lifeline to help me not feel so alone dealing with Covid and academic life.
@tara_taylor_stfx I saw a suggestion to put your mastodon location in your location on your Twitter account. Hoping others do that when they create one.
@tara_taylor_stfx Nobody does, that’s why it’s fun 🥳
