First week! I’ve been floating in the #forkiverse for all of 7 days now 🍴
Couple observations: Mastodon requires thinking - it’s just quite abstract. But I’ve actually enjoyed the tinkering and the leaning curve. Also, individual servers with specific rules and customs scared me at first, but I’m beginning to think that’s quite a wonderful setup which also solves a lot of issues from mainstream social.
