Been reading comments from new Mastodon users and from folks on Twitter who just discovered Mastodon. Some interesting takeaways:

- they find instances confusing
- they think it's important to claim a username
- they're confused as to why there's no "Mastodon app"

I think this may just be a generational gap. Younger folks may not remember a time before Web 2.0, before the app store, before the web crystallized into the few big centralized services we have today.

Heard something about roll20con upcoming June 24/25; that's the start of my staycation time so I'll check it out

Trying out an app called Subway Tooter for Android, multi-account support on separate tabs.

Hey, some folks have figured out how to spin text in toots. That's fine, but if the portion you're spinning leaves the display region then it starts taking on a strobe effect and might be an epilepsy trigger.

Therefore, please hide your spinning text behind content warnings.

Congratulations to all the new users who got ✅ so fast!
If you haven't yet, hang in there, you might need to wait for your first pineapple delivery.

Was there a sort of Mastodon instance-finder that was a more directed experience than instances.mastodon.xyz/ ?

New users: be sure to put your preferred pronouns in your profile, with optional backups. Don't assume people can tell based on your name or userpic. Take advantage of this by looking up what others have in their own profiles, so you know how to best address your new friends!

Job stuff 

Like, they were all about service industry should be background as much as possible, they don't want us to be seen and expressed disdain for visible job-related equipment, which came off to me as too shamey for my tastes. Presentation was also big, and I'm kind of a slob, so that wouldn't work out either. Like I said, little things, but lots of them.

Job stuff 

So I was meeting with new job people Tuesday morning for paperwork and introductions, along with 30+ people they were also onboarding. One major thing I didn't like was they said no headphones. I really on podcasts and audiobooks to keep me sane on a boring job. There were other little things, but lots of them, that made me appreciate my current job. So I'm probably sticking with this one for now, 20% pay raise be damned, mental health is important.
