Tiny HUGE Mastodon Multi-Tips 🐘✨

Now that I have a blog I largely abused character count and created a GIGANTIC Mastodon Tip for you to read or to share with your loved ones 💚

This is an extensive guide in 12 Steps on How to Get Started with Mastodon and how to quickly get to feel at home using it.

If you want to share a specific section with a friend you are trying to persuade to come join us, you can right-click on any section or subsection and “Copy Link” to that specific section.

Warning: It’s also very nerdy! ​

Have fun and spread the Fediverse love! ​

The really remarkable thing isn't just that #Microsoft has decided that the future of #search isn't links to relevant materials, but instead lengthy, florid paragraphs written by a #chatbot who happens to be a habitual liar - even more remarkable is that #Google agrees.

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

Some people believe there's no purpose to "liking" something on Mastodon since it doesn't affect any algorithm.

Not the case.

It does something incredibly valuable: it acknowledges people.

Which is incredibly powerful, and is all the more important *because* it's not connected to gaming any algorithm.

By liking something on Mastodon, you are doing it honestly -- without any agenda at play other than that you like it.

So go ahead. Click that like button for its own sake.

I just have to declare my love for Greta Thunberg. She makes me very happy.

Are you new to Mastodon? Have you been gifted your free lecture on all the things you’re doing wrong?

This keeps popping up recently, usually with text like "The ancient frescoes of Pompeii. You see, cats have always been an important part of the art world."

It's fake - AI generated. We have so much amazing cat artwork from history, there's really no need for this nonsense.

I just knew you would love to see a baby seagull right now 😊
Enjoying nature is a good way to remember what’s at stake at our warming planet during the sixth extinction.
We don’t have a spare 🌎.
