Okay this might be a long post
One thing that I realised is making #twittermigration harder for people to switch is because the whole concept can feel daunting & overwhelming for non-tech savvy people.
With Twitter to them it was straight forward and easy to find topics they enjoy but with mastodon its a bit different.
So if you’re new to mastodon or you want to introduce someone to mastodon here are some tips, useful sites & tools:
Twitodon - Find your Twitter friends on Mastodon
FediFinder- Similar to Twitodon
Fedi Tips - an informal, unofficial guide for non-technical people who want to use Mastodon and the wider Fediverse
Fedi Directory - A human-curated small selection of accounts to spice up your timeline.
Trunk -Trunk allows you to mass-follow a bunch of people in order to get started with Mastodon or any other platform on the Fediverse
Fediverse.info -growing list of people and topics can help you discover mutual interests with people around the world
Mobile Apps:
Metatext for iOS
Tusky for Android
Lastly if you are interested in setting up your own instance you can learn via https://learnfoss.org/ its completely free and its made by the wonderful @stux
I apologize for the long post lol, just hope this helps anyones transition over
Memento Mori: “Remember you must die”
In Meditations, Marcus Aurelius wrote โYou could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.โ That was a personal reminder to continue living a life of virtue NOW, and not wait.
Meditating on your mortality daily allows you to remember to focus and do whats important and not of that which is meaningless in life

Anyone know of a privacy friendly alternative to Kindle?
I was just going to buy one, never register and keep it on airplane mode then sideload books via calibre from my pc but after reading this article I don’t want to run the risk of having all my data still being stored & then sent when i forget to keep airplane mode off

Damn 2.7k in the last week
Anyone think that this would ever be a competitor to #Mastodon or just a nice twitter alternative ? Curious to see if this would have an negative impact on the member count of instances even if it does im staying here
Good idea to switch to @pixelfed instead
I recently noticed both Whatsapp & Instagram have been down. Is meta struggling to maintain their platforms
