@paulkidd we have had a sunny weekend for a nice change

B has headed off to march for refugees, I've taken my sick self back to bed

@stufromoz my B has just come home from the Bad City with the dreaded NAPWHA flu.

How are you finding Mastodon?

@paulkidd interesting. It's a bit different as I'm not hiding behind a locked account..

Also it's still very much about finding one's feet and helping the real n00bs

@stufromoz I'm lovi9ng the fact it isn't just a playground for journalists, brands and politicians like birdsite. There's a touch of anarchy about Mastodon and lots of very lefty and LGBTIQ+ people seem to be rushing to join it.

Interesting in particular that LGBTIQ+ folks seem keen for an alternative, as was that case with Ello during its brief moment in the sun.

Plus, the five-hundred-character limit is nice.Lots of room to express yourself freely and fully...

@paulkidd yes, all those things

Also it is possible to have the RWNJ parts, and keep them separate from others..

Mastodon.at seems pretty relaxed and friendly, but you landed well too

@paulkidd yeah, I think I finally succumbed to B's flu by getting run down thanks to his series of late nights with work deadlines
