@chuckwendig it is a possibility, though I haven't seen it happen yet. also possible an instance admin can't keep up their server for whatever reason, and the account gets flushed when the server dies. these are valid concerns!

Also remember:
Twit → Twitter → Twittest
Nobody is here to be the Twittest.
@chuckwendig @PlanetaryKnight@witches.town absolutely!
@hvee yessss. there's a lot of trees that still have a lot of green foliage, because of the increasingly late warm weather. and other environmental stressors... it's alarming, and depressing. :|
@chuckwendig what I have is three accounts; this public one that I follow people on and toot indiscriminately (and increasingly cannot keep up with), and two private on other instances for specific reasons (one for writing, one for spiritual/woo stuff), both of which are friends-only.
most instances are like unthemed chat rooms; you can post whatever you like from them, and interact with other instances however you like, but they all feed into the river of Main.
@hvee me too! I was pretty spooked, tbh--part of my walk home goes directly through a patch of untended forest. at least the trees falling over were far enough away that I didn't *see* them at all.
walking home from the store, I heard two "snap crackle THUD" sequences that were big trees falling over. also saw several branches fall, and a hailstorm of pinecones. be careful out there, Seattle-area folks, the wind can be dangerous!
@guerrillarain@witches.town yep, new influx of Birbhell refugees coming through--and this seems to be a big one, with several Big Names (for given values of "big") surfing the wave.

The Joke: welcome to Mastodon, here's your fursuit and your copy of Das Kapital
Reality: welcome to Mastodon, here's your six alt fursonas, a copy of the Anarchist's Cookbook, an eight-week course on the programming language of your choice, a tarot deck, some brand spanking new hormones, and a complex geometric sigil you should memorize that will turn into a neural counter-virus so that when the Singularity finally hits we can make sure The Straights don't claim it for themselves
@Crys 'course not, go for it! :)

The mastodon stages:
1: getting used to the interface
2: discovering that most people are just people, engaged in everyday adventures, big & small
3: the allure of the notification sound
4: a gradual getting used to the fact that not everything is about US politics, and that it's okay to filter it out on a macro level
5: a quiet moment when you think "there can still be poetry in this world"
6: some sort of reconciliation with the quantum magic that is the federated timeline
7: pineapples

When I joined masto, I gravitated towards following creative peeps and noticed a thing that's pretty common to all of us: we feel guilty for promoting places that people can buy our work or otherwise support us financially. So I started the #CreativeToots hashtag for that very reason. Got an Etsy page? Online store? Patreon? Selling a piece of art? Throw that tag on it. Do it with unfettered abandon. Everyone else: Look at that tag for artists to support. Buy their stuff. Help them create. <3

So hey, now everyone has been coming over to Mastodon, here's some shameless self-promotion!
I write a comic called The Pride, all about a team of all #LGBTQ+ superheroes, and you can get it on ComiXology and Amazon, and in print at www.thepride.bigcartel.com
Also, you can follow on Facebook on facebook.com/ThePrideComic
There's be loads more new comics in 2018 as well, so get in now! A perfect gift for Christmas, jus' sayin'! :P https://mastodon.social/media/T4Is47FDskoUthqM8NY
@scalzi I was wondering when you'd show up over here! *throws confetti*

The local timeline: things that happen on the instance you're at
The home timeline: things people you're following are posting and boosting (follow moar folks to see moar posts)
The notifications timeline: things that happens at you (can be filtered to exclude favs and boosts, if so desired)
The federated timeline: ...daym there sure are a lot of instances out there
