End of my 3rd week on #Mastodon
I've not experienced social media like this before. People seeing my posts? And replying? Madness! And no robot deciding that my #cats won’t infuriate anyone and so hiding them?
The people here have been super nice too. Sharing their own cats, giving me helpful tips, and replying with positivity. You're a real likeable bunch of weirdos
So I'll probably stick around, if that's okay….?
Here's another picture of Max sleeping... OR IS HE?
@rufustheduck I told you, man. I am also new here and, I can reiterate here all around Is about being social. No prebuild ideological trends filling your main page. No trolls. No scammers. No large IT companies using your data as gold AND you as an object.
And while, yes, there is people out there looking to promote agendas, and looking for new ways to get offended, I am feeling blessed they have very little presence.
Invite your friends. I did. Is hard, yes, but all that is worth.

@rufustheduck It's a surprisingly friendly place! I'm hoping it stays that way. You do run into the occasional jerk, but I just mute them and move along. And there are a LOT of helpful people here.

I’m a simple man. I see someone being friendly and posting cat pictures, I click the good feelings buttons.

@rufustheduck If there's a better description of Mastodon than "You're a real likeable bunch of weirdos" then I'm yet to hear it
@losttourist @rufustheduck @Heliograph this is all I’ve ever wanted in my life

@rufustheduck I’d reply with Malik
sleeping, but he’s black with white spots, on a black mattress, in a dark room with only very very dim ambient light as I’m winding down for bed… so, a smartphone camera will not be able to pick anything discernable. -

@rufustheduck Cats are the opposite of hidden on here! What a beauty, btw -- can't beat a black cat

@rufustheduck End of my third minute! Hi first poster I've read.
Welcome to both of you
Hope you have lots of fun!
Please feel free to ask if you want help with using this place!

Welcome! Nice profile image.
Recommend gently that you add some details to your profile description and perhaps make an introduction post that you can pin.
Many folks here mute or block accounts with no profile information if they try to engage with them, especially if they’re from large instances that are known to attract bots.
@FediTips has an unofficial ‘Quick Start Guide’ that you may find helpful. There are curated lists of accounts to check out at @FediFollows.
@AlsoPaisleyCat @FediTips @FediFollows @rufustheduck thank you for advice
