Hello from my new #Mastadon account.

[djstreethawk@mastodon.scot]

@vcallinan gratz and welcome to the slow path back to normality

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@vcallinan welcome!

[vwdasher@mymasto.com]

@vcallinan Welcome! Mastodon is very much not American centric.

[clickhere@mastodon.ie]

@vcallinan Hello from Ireland, and welcome to Mastidon!

(Is that a Galwegian surname, I detect..?)

[kingtor@frontrange.co]

@rasterweb @vcallinan I feel the same way and I was born here.

@vcallinan

As a Canadian I notice more Europeans here than the old Brand X place but I get to choose who I see, not an algorithm so that takes some work. Following #hashtags helps to find people to follow.

[stooryduster@mastodon.scot]

@vcallinan well you could follow a few folk on Mastodon.Scot, less USA centric and curling is a thing.

[noondlyt@hellions.cloud]

@vcallinan

Welcome and followed!

[ottomate@noc.social]

@vcallinan Was it difficult to drop FB? Most FB friends don't follow you to Mastodon in my experience

@ThePolishDispatch @vcallinan @glasco61
I think its a golden currant but I'm open to being corrected.

[kevinashworth@mastodon.social]

@vcallinan
Sorry, I’m an American.

Sorry I’m an American, too.
Commas matter.
Down with Zuck.

@vcallinan
Definitely *less* US-centric, but worth remembering that 3/4ths of native English speakers are in the US

There are plenty of non-English servers and users if that's your preference though

[kiwitb@mastodon.social]

@vcallinan not American centric, except for Americans, who think everything is.

[switch@tenforward.social]

@vcallinan hi from a Swiss person living in Brittany. @borisschapira

[lacze@hear-me.social]

@vcallinan

Instagram is Meta.

[stragu@mastodon.indie.host]

@vcallinan welcome from so-called Australia! Hope you enjoy your time here.

[drewtowler@mas.to]

@vcallinan
Welcome. The centric bit depends on who you follow. And on avoiding hitting the "trending" link no matter how much you're tempted.

[ncw413@mastodon.social]

@vcallinan #bloomscrolling and #FootpathFriday are a couple I use to forget the insanity in my country. Hashtags are so good here.

[vcallinan@mastodon.social]

@drewtowler Good to know!
