@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 Sounds good enough to me.
-
@rufustheduck FORGET algorhythms—was MAX okay with you posting this?!
@eng_n_compsci76 I always show him the picture and let him read the caption and alt description before I post anything. He'd murder me in my sleep if I didn't

@rufustheduck Thanks for being here and sharing the cat photo! btw, your manbuycow site is not yet linking to your profile, if you do so you can turn your account into a more trusted "verified" account.

@losttourist @rufustheduck Someone once described it as "the most autistic of social networks" - as an AuDHD person, I felt that was fairly accurate.

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?

I followed you solely BECAUSE of the cat

@rufustheduck They are quite good cats, to be honest.

The bad commercial socials CENSOR cats? How dare they?
Liked you cat pics several times, but now following.
Haven't seen until now, that you also wrote a book ... ordering it "direct" is without DRM, I presume?
(My favourite bookshop sells it, but with DRM)

@rufustheduck Welcome and thanks for the Max! We accept moss and bird photos too. Hat trick if you post a photo with all three!
-
@rufustheduck Oh Max you are gorgeous!
And I just realized that your dad is one of us.
@adelinej I guess there must be a reason I feel comfortable here

@rufustheduck I'm glad that you're enjoying Mastodon!
And Max will not stop scheming until every human recognizes his genius and brings him tuna.
brings Max tuna

@rufustheduck that is a cute cat. May I respond with a cat photo of my own (well, my son's cat)
-
@rufustheduck I much prefer cats to robots (and algorithms). Welcome to Mastodon.

@lmgenealogy same here. and thank you!
-
@rufustheduck Max is deeply cute & I’m really glad you are enjoying your Fediverse experience!
All I can say from my own experience is, to quote Ford Prefect (badly) from the Hitch Hikers Guide, I came for a fornight & stayed 2½ years!
@MAJ1 maybe I should update my description of the Fediverse from 'weirdos' to 'mostly weirdos'

@_maleficentgirl the best and only reason

@rufustheduck What to “mostly weirdos with a smattering of Armoured Squirrels thrown in” ?
