I first joined Mastodon in April 2022. I joined because I was looking for a place to replace Twitter for me. I needed to get away from the Bird site, a place that I had already spent 14 years of my life where it was my primary social media platform. Honestly, at the time, I was looking for a new place where I could yell into the wind as I had been doing near the end of my time on Twitter. However, what I found here wasn't that. I found more community where people were interacting. I found that hashtags mattered again. I found a social media platform, emphasis on the social. Over time, my interactions haven't been as active as they used to be. I'm more yelling into the wind, sometimes. I want to fix that. I want to get back to that form of social media where folks are actually social, actually interacting, actually chatting about things. Anyway, I'm rambling. Hope you have a great day. And if you follow me, but I don't follow you back - give me a shout here. Let's chat about...something. #SocialMedia #Mastodon #Twitter #Fediverse
