i was a part of the mastodon wave that came when donald trump was elected and twitter forced my account to unblock and *follow* him
i only ever log on there to check in on friends or see cute pics now, very rarely
i'm glad to be here, i did not expect to be a part of such a tightknit community
why i left twitter
@AdalwinAmillion i created awoo.space because it was clear that there was a need for a more limited space that took a much more intentional approach to federation
i also hoped to stymy some problems with racism and other bad isms with the space, while also creating a space that respected identity yet fostered a place to grow for folks who engage genuinely & in good faith, and somehow it turned into the furry server :thumbsup_clw_g1:
